The whole stateless/stateful discussion has reportedly been a hot topic among lawyers from both camps, though FT states that a Microsoft employee referring to the situation isn't mincing words, saying that "we know our contract," and that "we will sue them if they breach it. If Amazon and OpenAI want to take a bet on the creativity of their contractual lawyers, I would back us, not them."
Predictably, OpenAI's position is the opposite, as the firm seemingly believes the Amazon deal is compatible with the Microsoft agreement. FT further reports that Amazon and OpenAI are building an unspecified system meant to work around the contract.
Nevertheless, FT points out that this latest development may cast a pall over OpenAI's upcoming IPO by placing doubts in prospective stockholders' hearts. That would be a nightmare scenario for the company, as the magnitude of its ongoing investments means that the flow of money cannot stop.

alan.campbell99 I believe there was recent reporting that Nvidia wasn't impressed with Scam Altman cutting deals left and right either. Add disagreements with Oracle and it could be time to prepare popcorn perhaps. Reply
