The new agreement “includes changes to the exclusivity on new capacity, moving to a model where Microsoft has a right of first refusal (ROFR),” Microsoft says. “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”

On Monday, Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek launched a new, open-source large language model called DeepSeek R1. According to DeepSeek, R1 wins over other popular LLMs (large language models) such as OpenAI in several important benchmarks, and it's especially good with mathematical, coding, and reasoning tasks.

The two companies would then both own 40% of Stargate, the tech outlet said, citing comments by Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman to colleagues
