Isn't Bing in some kind of partnership with Open AI?

Hmmm.

It does and Microsoft poured a ton of money into OpenAI. Including offering some of their services exclusively via Azure.

From what I've read they didn't pour any money directly, it's all in the form of credit to use azure

Microsoft owns 49% of the for-profit operating company. Maybe they got those or part of those via Azure credits?

As far as we know Microsoft has access to some of their IP but not much else. Judging by the output of their own research division they're anxious to replace them.

They have access to the IP and own the compute resources running OpenAI's services.
