Microsoft abandons data center projects as OpenAI considers its own.
Based on the easing of exclusivity by the two companies, analysts say these moves aren’t surprising, but they do have broader market implications.
OpenAI is reportedly contemplating building its own data center as Microsoft backs off on its own infrastructure investments.
OpenAI has privately discussed building and operating its first data center to house storage, which is essential for developing sophisticated AI models. Microsoft, on the other hand, has pulled back on its buildouts, canceling data center projects in the US and Europe.
