OpenAI steps on Microsoft’s toes again. It’s about LinkedIn and AI chips this time.

CATGPT developer announced this week that the company has been an alternative to LinkedIn this week. In addition, Openai will develop its own in -house chips according to various reports. The title pair puts starting into a deeper competition with its great financial supporter.

Openai and Microsoft did not immediately respond to Barron’s requests for comments.

Openai plans a business platform to connect workers and companies that seem to compete directly with LinkedIn, which belongs to Microsoft.

“Openai Jobs platform will have opportunities for knowledgeable, experienced candidates at all levels and everyone who wants to use their skills,” Openai Simo, CEO of Openai on Thursday. “And we will use AI to find perfect matches between companies needed and offer workers.”

LinkedIn is a small part of Microsoft’s business. However, the movement emphasizes how Openai behaves on the toes of the investor. According to Wall Street Journal, the two companies have previously clashed about Openai’s coding Start-Up Windsurf’s purchasing plans and whether Microsoft will have access to the intellectual property. The purchase was then torn.

A larger concern for Microsoft may have plans to improve the in -house chip with Openai’s Broadcom. Multiple Wall Street analysts concluded that Openai was a new mysterious customer mentioned in the Broadcom’s earnings report on Thursday. Financial Times reported that the two were working together and referring to more than one person familiar with partnership.

Microsoft has Maia 100, its own AI chip developed jointly with Openai. Alternative hardware development potential plans of artificial intelligence show that it is not possible to be an important customer for Microsoft’s processors in the future.

Since 2019, Microsoft has pumped $ 13 billion in Openai. The company is currently not the owner of the equity in Openai, but rather receives a share of future profit. The two companies still negotiate what Microsoft can get in a future restructuring.

Openai is currently structured as a non -profit company with a committee that controls non -profit -free businesses. The company aimed to be a more traditional company, but in the early this year, negotiations with civilian leaders and California and Attorney General Attorney Generals scrapped the plan after the talks that should be signed.

Instead, the company’s non-profit subsidiary will be transformed into a public-free company that requires the company’s shareholder interests and public interest in the decision-making process. It is not clear how much Microsoft will take self -equipment in Openai under the planned transformation.

Openai is still relying on Microsoft’s cloud computer resources. However, Openai also hit the information infrastructure agreements with Oracle and Coreweave.
