Mustafa Suleyman [CEO of Microsoft AI] has been doing the unthinkable: looking under the hood at OpenAI’s crown jewels — its secret algorithms behind foundation models like GPT-4, people familiar with the matter said. . . .
Technically, Microsoft has access to OpenAI products that have launched, according to people familiar with the deal, but not its top secret research projects. But practically, Microsoft often sees OpenAI products long before they are publicly available, because the two companies work together closely to bring the products to market at scale. . . .
Microsoft has rights to OpenAI products, but only when they are officially launched as products, and can’t look at experimental research far from the commercialization phase, according to people at both companies.
