There are speculations that Microsoft and a nonprofit artificial intelligence company named Elon Musk may team up for OpenAI.

Reports from Yahoo News clarify that a declaration has been made by OpenAI on Tuesday stating that it will work with Microsoft so as to start the cloud platform, Azure. It would be made as the prime Cloud system which is used by Open AI for deep learning and artificial intelligence. Microsoft is excited about this move.

Microsoft was chosen by OpenAI because of the company's deep learning research and ongoing commitment to Ai. Apart from this Azure also supports the open source technologies and its unique combination of big data, high-performance computing and other capabilities like Microsoft Cognitive Tool Kit, Azure Batch, and Azure Mac Hine learning.

Both the partners are likely to work on 'democ ratizing AI. Hence it shall be made accessible to everyone. After taking this intelligence it shall be infused into everyday devices and apps. In fact, both these partners are trying to build the world's most powerful AI supercomputer and it shall be available to everyone via the cloud. Hence all shall be enabled to harness its power and AI challenges.

OpenAI states that Azure is doing very impressive work. It has build hardware configurations which are optimized for deep learning which offers K80 GPU's with InfiniBand which is connected at inter scales. There are proposals of bringing Pascal GPU's on to their cloud.

It is believed that in the coming months both Microsoft and OpenAI will use tens of thousands of these machines so as to increase the number of experiments that are run as well as the size of models that are trained by these companies.

OpenAI is a client of Azure N series virtual machines. These machines are designed for the most intensive compute workloads. These virtual machines shall be available until December. On the other hand, Microsoft has also announced the Azure BOT services.  This would be Microsoft's first cloud BOT service.
