Sept 12 (Reuters) - OpenAI has projected that by the end

of the decade it will be sharing about 8% of its revenue with

commercial partners, namely Microsoft ( MSFT ), down from the

current 20%, The Information reported on Friday.

The difference between those figures adds up to more than

$50 billion in additional revenue OpenAI would keep for itself,

the report said.

The report was not clear if that was an accumulative or

annual figure. OpenAI and Microsoft ( MSFT ) did not immediately respond

to Reuters requests for comment.

The two companies are also negotiating how much OpenAI will

have to pay to rent servers from Microsoft ( MSFT ), the report said,

citing a person briefed on the discussions.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) and OpenAI said on Thursday they have signed a

non-binding deal for new relationship terms that would allow

OpenAI to restructure itself into a for-profit company.

OpenAI said under current terms, its nonprofit arm will

receive more than $100 billion - about 20% of the $500 billion

valuation it is seeking in private markets - making it one of

the world's most well-funded nonprofit operations, according to

a memo from Bret Taylor, chairman of OpenAI's nonprofit board.
