Two tech leaders engage in fierce chess match over hot AI startup
One of the market's new startup sensations is caught in a rivalry.

One of Microsoft’s (MSFT) most notable claims to fame lately has been its decision to back OpenAI in its early stages.
The tech leader made its first investment in the AI research organization in 2019, years before ChatGPT changed the way the world saw artificial intelligence (AI). This year began with the two companies announcing plans to evolve their relationship even further by partnering on Stargate, an effort to build new AI infrastructure for OpenAI.
