We critically rely on OpenAI's frontier models

They are among the best.

In many days, they are the best in the world.

But we have a relationship with Anthropic.

We use open source models.

We're developing our own models.

So on both sides, we work with more partners.

But I think the partnership between the two of us remains an imperative.

It's a huge priority for us at Microsoft.

Well, look.

If you want to think about the partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, all you have to do is ask one question.

Would any of this generative AI sector even exist if the two of us had not come together?

OpenAI created something that no one else even understood was possible when they launched ChatGPT.

And OpenAI could never have created that without Microsoft's compute and really frontier data centers on which to train that.

We built something special.

We'll each do special things on our own.

We'll each do special things with other companies.

We'll each do, I think, very special things with each other.

I don't think so.

It's gaining ground.
