Open AI executives praising the company's partnership with Amazon and this new internal memo over the weekend.

But taking some swipes at Microsoft and Anthropic, our Kate Rooney's been covering that all morning today on today's tech check.

Hey, Kate.

Hey, Carl. So this is all according to an internal memo that we viewed. It was sent out by a top Open AI executive sent to employees on Sunday.

It came from Denise Dresser, the chief revenue officer over there,

who talks up Open AI's new deal with Amazon in a way that, and says it's a way that open

AI could actually win contracts with companies looking to use chat GPT for business, at the same time

downplaying Microsoft. So Dressor is a former CEO of Slack as well. She writes in this, our Microsoft

partnership has been foundational to our success, but she says it is also limited our ability

to meet enterprises where they are. She says for many, that's bedrock. She's referring there

to Amazon's AI offering. And since we announced the deal, she says, in February, that Amazon

deal, she says, inbound demand from our customers for this offering has been, frankly, staggering.

The memo does come, guys, a couple months after Amazon agreed to invest up to $50 billion in OpenAI.

It does also underline efforts.

Recently, we've seen to reduce a reliance on Microsoft from OpenAI,time backer of that company, Microsoft has invested more than $13 billion in this company since 2019.

And Open AI has also been trying at the same time to diversify into more cloud providers.

We've seen evidence with Google and Oracle and then Microsoft, on the other hand, working on its own AI model.

No comment from Microsoft on this, but both companies have said that relationship remains strong.

And finally, Dresser also slams rival Anthropic and the $30 billion revenue run rate this

company put out recently for contacts.

Open AI is closer to $25 billion, according to its latest update.

Dresser does claim that Anthropics run rate is, quote, inflated by around $8 billion.
