OpenAI Brings GPT Models to Google Cloud in Expansion Beyond Microsoft

OpenAI announced it will make its GPT models available to enterprise developers through Google Cloud's model garden and Antigravity coding tool in the coming weeks, putting OpenAI's models on all three major US cloud infrastructure providers. Less than six months ago, OpenAI announced Microsoft would no longer hold an exclusive license to its intellectual property, followed the next day by Amazon unveiling plans in April to host OpenAI models. Google Cloud's annualized revenue growth accelerated to about 82% in the second quarter from 63% in the first quarter, compared with second-quarter cloud growth of 37% at Amazon and 42% at Microsoft. Corporate card issuer Ramp reported that most business AI spending goes to OpenAI and Anthropic, even as Google rolled out its Gemini 4 Argon model in September. OpenAI previously began using Google Cloud last year to run ChatGPT and its API, and is now courting investors at a $1.4T valuation while targeting an initial public offering. "Google Cloud's longstanding investment in machine learning and AI has made it a destination for AI workloads and the developers and data scientists building them." — OpenAI
