TikTok Pays Nearly $20 Million Monthly, Becoming One of Microsoft's Largest AI Cloud Computing Clients
TikTok pays Microsoft nearly $20 million monthly to access OpenAI's artificial intelligence models via Microsoft's cloud services, bringing approximately $1 billion in annual revenue to Microsoft's cloud division and highlighting the value of AI services in the tech industry. Should TikTok develop its own large language model, it may reduce its reliance on Microsoft's services. OpenAI previously suspended ByteDance's account to investigate whether it violated developer agreements. As OpenAI's exclusive cloud service provider, Microsoft has invested significant resources to support its models, such as ChatGPT.
