Sam already signed up with Microsoft. A move that surprised me, I figured he would just create OpenAI².

Joining a corporate behemoth like Microsoft and all the complications it brings with it will mean a massive reduction in the freedom and innovation that Sam is used to from OpenAI (prior to this mess).

Or is Microsoft saying: Here is OpenAI², a Microsoft subsidiary created juste for you guys. You can run it and do whatever you want. No giant bureaucracy for you guys.

Btw: we run all of OpenAi²s compute,(?) so we know what you guys need from us there.

we won it but you can run it and do whatever it is you want to do and we dont bug you about it.

Satya is way smarter than that, I wouldn't be shocked if they have complete free reign to do whatever but have full resources of MS/Azure to enable it and Microsoft just gets % ownership and priority access.

This is a gamble for the foundation of the entire next generation of computing, no way are they going to screw it up like that in the Satya era.

Not just that, but MS was already working on a TPU clone as well, as they need to control their AI chips (which Sam was planning to do anyways, but now he gets / works together with that team as well).
