One "person familiar" is inappropriate sourcing for something so consequential. Not a good look for Axios.

In journalist speak, that means "credible person I know who would get fired if I said their name."

It's probably literally an exec on the OpenAI/Microsoft partnership.

The alternative to "a person familiar" is us as readers never get this information at all.

those are some bold beliefs given the overall honesty in journalism and benefits to being first to publish.

There's a lot to criticize about Axios, but having high-profile connections is like the entire reason they exist. They don't make stuff up.
