I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Microsoft and OpenAI are in conflict over a contract clause regarding artificial general intelligence (AGI). Currently, if OpenAI achieves AGI, Microsoft would lose access to the technology. Microsoft is pushing for the removal of this clause, but OpenAI has refused. This disagreement is complicating OpenAI's transition to a public-benefit corporation, despite ongoing negotiations since their partnership began in 2019 with a $1 billion investment from Microsoft. Both companies have stated that discussions are ongoing and they remain hopeful for a long-term partnership.
