> OpenAI paid Microsoft 20% of its revenue under an existing agreement.
Wow that's a great deal MSFT made, not sure what it cost them. Better than say a stock dividend which would pay out of net income (if any), even better than a bond payment probably, this is straight off the top of revenue.
Is it a great deal?
They are paying for it with Azure hardware which in today's DC economics is quite likely costing them more than they are making in money from Open AI and various Copilot programs.
