Perhaps Microsoft, so they can push the losses to the shareholders of Microsoft instead of their own balance sheet.

Microsoft only gave them an exorbitant price because they were paying in Azure credits for GPUs. That's something like a 50% discount for Microsoft compared to giving them cash, and it also incentivizes OpenAI to continue using their stuff after the credits are burned through.

I’ve heard Microsoft customers got burned by this. GPU availability and inference workloads is prioritized for OpenAI
