OpenAI will offer its AI models through Google's cloud

OpenAI will make its artificial intelligence models available to developers through Google's cloud, according to CNBC. The two companies have competed for years. The move puts OpenAI's models on all three of the top cloud providers, CNBC reported.
OpenAI's GPT models will come to Google Cloud's model garden in the coming weeks, CNBC reported. They will also come to Google's Antigravity coding tool. Google said in a blog post that three of OpenAI's newest models are rolling out now. For now, only select business customers can use them in a private preview. OpenAI said general availability is planned in the coming weeks.
Customers will be able to buy the models through the Google Cloud Marketplace, OpenAI said. OpenAI's post also said that Microsoft remains its primary cloud partner.
"This partnership is an important step in making our most capable models and Codex available where customers are already building," OpenAI president Greg Brockman said in the company's post. Codex is OpenAI's coding agent.
Less than six months ago, OpenAI said Microsoft would no longer hold an exclusive license to its technology, CNBC reported. Amazon then began hosting OpenAI models.
Google's cloud business has been growing fast. Revenue growth in its cloud unit sped up to about 82% in the second quarter from 63% in the first, CNBC reported. Amazon and Microsoft posted cloud growth of 37% and 42%. All three report results next week.
The two companies have worked together before. Last year, OpenAI said it was using Google's cloud to run ChatGPT, CNBC reported. OpenAI is now courting investors at a $1.4 trillion valuation and targeting a stock market listing.
