Didn’t OpenAI sign a deal with Microsoft that Microsoft gets full access to all their IP until OpenAI claims they have established AGI?

So it would be in OpenAIs best interest to at least try to work and claim towards it

These articles answer a lot of the questions you’re raising. It’s in OpenAI’s interest to claim AGI hasn’t been achieved yet as long as it benefits them. They may be getting sweetheart deals on compute from Microsoft under the current arrangement. It’s possibly also beneficial for Microsoft, but I think they are in a somewhat different market as a compute provider rather than consumer.

OpenAI has been adding other compute providers, so this hurts Microsoft too, because OpenAI can use their already low pricing to underbid other compute providers who want the volume and access that being a provider at OpenAI’s scale would bring.

Microsoft is already seeking to plan for the eventuality where OpenAI exercises the option and effectively declares AGI.

Didn't the terms of that deal define AGI as "an AI that generates at least 1 billion in annual revenue"?
