Microsoft and OpenAI Sign New Strategic Agreement

Intelligence: Microsoft and OpenAI have finalized a new agreement that supports OpenAI’s transition to a public benefit corporation, extends Microsoft’s intellectual property rights, introduces independent AGI verification, and increases flexibility for both companies.

• Microsoft now holds a 27% stake in OpenAI Group PBC, valued at $135B, down from 32.5% after recent funding rounds.

• OpenAI remains Microsoft’s frontier model partner, with exclusive IP and Azure API rights extended through 2032, including post-AGI models with safety guardrails.

• Microsoft retains rights to confidential research methods until AGI is verified or through 2030 and holds non-research IP like model architecture, weights, inference and fine-tuning code, and infrastructure IP—excluding OpenAI consumer hardware.

• Any AGI declaration by OpenAI must be verified by an independent panel. Microsoft may pursue AGI independently but must stay within compute limits if using OpenAI IP before AGI is declared.

• Revenue sharing continues until AGI is verified. OpenAI has committed to an additional $250B in Azure purchases, and Microsoft no longer holds the right of first refusal for OpenAI’s compute needs.

GitHub Launches Agent HQ to Unify AI Workflows

Intelligence: GitHub has introduced Agent HQ, a native multi-agent system within Copilot and VS Code that brings together agents from multiple providers and adds enterprise-grade governance, code quality tools, and developer metrics.

• Agents are built into GitHub’s workflow, with support for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition, and xAI under paid Copilot plans; Copilot Pro Plus users can now access OpenAI Codex in VS Code Insiders.

• Agent HQ includes a unified control center across GitHub, VS Code, mobile, and CLI to manage agents, resolve merge conflicts, navigate files, and integrate with tools like Slack, Jira, Teams, Azure Boards, and Raycast.

• VS Code adds Plan Mode for step-by-step implementation, custom agent rules via AGENTS.md, and the GitHub MCP Registry to discover servers like Stripe, Figma, and Sentry.

• Enterprise governance features include a control plane for agent access, security policies, audit logs, and a metrics dashboard for Copilot usage across organizations.

• GitHub Code Quality (in public preview) offers insights into maintainability, reliability, and test coverage, and adds a built-in code review step to Copilot workflows.

• GitHub now supports 180 million developers, with Agent HQ designed to unify fragmented AI tools while preserving Git, pull requests, issues, and preferred compute setups.
