I _think_ this means that the infra that GPT-3 runs on is exclusively Microsoft / Azure (e.g. you won't see GPT-3 models running on GCP or AWS).

You can sign up for an OpenAI API key and build products with it. I'd be really surprised if they closed that down to only Microsoft.

That’s in the press release but it’s more than just infra.

“Microsoft is teaming up with OpenAI to exclusively license GPT-3, allowing us to leverage its technical innovations to develop and deliver advanced AI solutions for our customers”

My understanding is that this means that Microsoft is the only one who gets the weights and can further train the model for their own applications, while everyone else just gets API access to some versions. Which really would be very exclusive. But would be good if someone with actual knowledge about the deal could comment.
