The post OpenAI and Microsoft cap revenue-sharing at $38B as AI giant eyes independence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenAI and Microsoft have agreed to put a ceiling on their revenue-sharing arrangement at $38 billion, a move that effectively loosens one of the tightest corporate partnerships in the AI industry. The cap, first reported by The Information, keeps the existing revenue-sharing terms in place through 2030 but draws a hard line on how much Microsoft can ultimately extract from the relationship. What the deal actually changes Microsoft has poured more than $13 billion into OpenAI since its initial $1 billion investment in 2019.

In other words, it was a developer-focused, lighter-weight alternative to SQL Server Management Studio. Azure Data Studio was a useful tool for developers. It made it easy to explore databases and craft the queries that could be integrated into your code. You weren’t limited to queries, as a command line allowed you to work with lower-level and administrative services when necessary. You can still use SQL Server Management Studio with Azure data, but it’s overkill for most common query building tasks. Bringing SQL support into Visual Studio Code What should you use instead? Microsoft recommends switching to the MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code. That answer shouldn’t be s
