Currently, the claim is unproven. However, if I were an investor, I'd be pounding on the doors demanding for clarification.

I meant, can you link the claim that the clause in question got removed?

"Microsoft’s original agreement with OpenAI also barred Microsoft from pursuing AGI based on OpenAI tech on its own; my understanding is that this clause was removed in the most recent agreement."

I see. Pursuing AGI sounds distinct from commercializing future versions of ChatGPT based on OpenAI IP. I imagine the exact legal wording in the contract makes all the difference.

The WSJ article from June he cited indicates the license still comes with restrictions.

I'd have my lawyers do the pounding.
