PANews reported on June 12 that, according to OpenAI's official Twitter account, OpenAI's strategic cloud partnership with Microsoft remains unchanged. Despite the recent announcement of a partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), this does not affect OpenAI's continued use of Microsoft Azure for critical model inference and other needs. OpenAI stated that all pre-training of cutting-edge models is still being conducted on the supercomputer built in collaboration with Microsoft.

On June 6th, according to the official blog of OpenAI, OpenAI today detailed its research infrastructure for training advanced AI models in security. OpenAI operates the world's largest AI training supercomputer, aiming to advance the forefront of AI and ensure safety. The core mission of these infrastructures is to protect sensitive assets such as model weights and algorithm secrets. To achieve this goal, OpenAI's architecture includes multiple key security components: Identity Foundation: Use Azure Entra ID for identity verification and authorization management, ensuring risk verification and abnormal login detection during session creation. Kubernetes architecture: Use Kubernetes to manage and orchestrate workloads, and protect research environments through RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and Admission Controller policies. Sensitive data storage: Protect credentials and other sensitive information through key management services, and only authorized workloads and users can access this data. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Adopting a "least privilege" access policy, managing the access rights of researchers and developers through the internally developed AccessManager service, and introducing a longer approval mechanism to control access to sensitive resources. CI/CD security: Strictly control the access to the CI/CD pipeline to ensure the consistency and security of infrastructure code configuration. OpenAI has also implemented multiple layers of security controls to prevent leakage of model weights and uses internal and external red teams to test security. In addition, OpenAI is exploring AI-specific security and compliance standards to address the unique challenges of protecting AI technology.
