UK Approves Microsoft's $13B OpenAI Investment

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority approved Microsoft's $13 billion investment in OpenAI after a two-year review, concluding it doesn't pose a merger threat. Microsoft doesn't have "de facto control" over OpenAI, and recent developments reducing OpenAI's dependency on Microsoft influenced the decision. OpenAI's collaboration with SoftBank on the Stargate project was noted. However, Microsoft still has a "high level of material influence" on OpenAI's commercial policy.
