OpenAI and Microsoft agreed to cap total revenue-sharing payments at $38 billion, U.S. digital news outlet The Information reported on Monday, citing a person with knowledge of the arrangement. The development comes as OpenAI and Microsoft renegotiated a contract last month, making room for OpenAI to forge new partnerships with companies such as Amazon and Google. The payment cap could help OpenAI present a stronger long-term pitch to investors as it works toward a public offering, which some executives said could take place as soon as the end of this year, according to the report.
