In my experience, the corporate-speak "partnering with" can mean almost anything.

Apple gives TSMC a billion dollars to build a cutting edge fab dedicated to making Apple's chips, a deal they repeat several times over more than a decade? Partnership.

Youtuber takes $300 to read an ad, giving viewers a 10% discount code? Also a partnership.

There's partnering with Apple for several decades where they plan years in advance and pay billions without fail, and there's partnering with OpenAI where Sam Altman commits to giving you a Trillion dollars provided you can deliver all that ram up front and he can give you an IOU he got from Oracle who got it from Nvidia who got it from OpenAI. These are different things.
