NVIDIA and OpenAI sit at the center of a modern AI circuit: one builds the engines that turn raw silicon into neural computation, the other writes the blueprints that run on them — together they form the infrastructure layer most startups, enterprises, and investors now assume will be there when...

Microsoft’s decision to loosen its exclusive hold on OpenAI’s cloud compute — replacing outright exclusivity with a “right of first refusal” while preserving deep commercial ties — marks a strategic recalibration that both acknowledges the physics of modern AI and preserves Microsoft’s most...
