Does this mean Microsoft is severing its partnership with OpenAI? Or are they planning to create a competitor first and then end their partnership? I'm honestly confused here.

Likely continue the partnership while they build up, but I have a feeling the amount of investment dollars from Microsoft and special Azure pricing are going to change quite a bit it for OpenAI in the very near future.

It just seems so integrated with Bing at this point. I realize it could be replaced, but that sounds like a huge undertaking and not especially cost-effective, but I'm not in the industry, so that's just my lay observation.

They've committed to investing $10B into OpenAI. The engineering cost of swapping out the Bing integration wouldn't even register.
