Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI cracked when it hired Mustafa Suleyman, rival Marc Benioff says


Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said that the two AI leaders, Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman do not care for each other.

OpenAI has also blamed a lack of available compute for product delays, indicating it needs more data center capacity than Microsoft can (or perhaps wants to) provide. After Altman was fired and reinstated as OpenAI CEO in late 2023, employees from both companies told Business Insider they really don’t like working together. Just a few months later, in early 2024, Nadella thumbed his nose back by hiring DeepMind and Inflection co-founder Mustafa Suleyman to lead Microsoft AI.
