OpenAI thinks it will pay Microsoft, its investor and partner, a smaller part of its money by 2030 than it does now. This is based on financial papers mentioned by The Information.

This news follows OpenAI's decision this week to change their plan for how the company is structured. The part of the company that makes money will now be a public benefit corporation, but the part that doesn't make money will still be in control.

According to The Information, OpenAI currently gives 20% of its total money earned to Microsoft. However, by the end of 2030, the company expects to share only 10% of its money with all its business partners, including Microsoft.

Microsoft has put a lot of money into OpenAI, and they have an agreement until 2030 to share the money they earn. Microsoft can also use OpenAI's technology in its AI products and is the only company allowed to use OpenAI's services through its Azure cloud platform.

Microsoft has not yet approved the new company structure that OpenAI has suggested, Bloomberg reported on Monday. The bigger tech company reportedly wants to make sure the new structure protects its investment of billions of dollars.

OpenAI and Microsoft did not reply right away when asked for their opinion.
