Nadella stressed that the updated terms grant Microsoft rights to all of OpenAI's most advanced models and agent products through 2032. A crucial shift is the removal of royalty payments for using these frontier technologies, resulting in substantial operational savings for Microsoft.

Microsoft's AI business now boasts over $37 billion in annualized revenue, surging 123% year-over-year—a powerful validation of its strategic approach. Nadella noted that enterprise customers value choice, and the diversity of models available on the Microsoft platform now surpasses that of any competitor.
