“As I reported, most of ByteDance’s GPT usage has been done through Microsoft’s Azure platform, not through OpenAI directly.”
ByteDance used GPT output to train a competing model in China, against both OpenAI’s and Microsoft’s license terms. OpenAI calls the usage “minimal” and suspends an account that wasn’t where the action was. Most of that usage ran through Microsoft’s Azure, and Microsoft has not said whether it will act. OpenAI banned the account it controls and left the Azure pipe running.
