Summary

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella worried that OpenAI could become more dominant than Microsoft itself, similar to how Microsoft once overtook IBM in the 1980s. Court testimony revealed that Microsoft invested over $100 billion in OpenAI through investments, infrastructure, and hosting costs, and by the end of 2025, about 45% of Microsoft's cloud business obligations were tied to OpenAI, showing how dependent the company had become on its AI partner.
