Microsoft is winding down its arrangement to rent AI computing capacity from Oracle and declined to renew the contract, turning off rented capacity in recent months.

The rented Oracle capacity had become less useful because it did not fit Microsoft’s specifications and used older-generation Nvidia chips.
