Microsoft: OpenAI is both a "strategic partner" and a "competitor"

On August 4th, according to a report filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in July, Microsoft wants the federal government to treat its relationship with OpenAI as a friend and foe (friend and foe) relationship, rather than a true partnership. In this regular financial results and status report on Form 10-K, Microsoft declared OpenAI as its competitor in multiple paragraphs, and also repeatedly claimed OpenAI as its "strategic partner" throughout the document.
