OpenAI Diversifies Cloud Partners With Google Deal

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has finalized a significant partnership to use Google Cloud’s infrastructure, diversifying beyond its previous exclusive reliance on Microsoft Azure. This move comes as OpenAI's growth, with annual revenue nearing $10 billion, has outpaced the capacity of a single cloud provider. The agreement marks a notable collaboration between two major AI and search competitors, with Alphabet shares rising on the news and Google’s TPU chips possibly being leveraged. The deal is seen as a win for Google Cloud, strengthening its position as a leading AI infrastructure provider. Analysts interpret the partnership as a sign of pragmatic cooperation amid intense demand for AI computing resources. OpenAI continues to pursue global expansion and new funding as its product adoption accelerates.
