OpenAI picks Google Cloud
OpenAI will make its artificial intelligence models available for developers through Google Cloud, following years of competition between the two companies.
The end of Microsoft's exclusivity
Less than six months ago, OpenAI said Microsoft would no longer have the exclusive license on its intellectual property. The day after that ended, Amazon unveiled plans to host OpenAI models.
Now on all three major clouds
OpenAI's models are now available on all three of the top cloud infrastructure providers. Google will bring OpenAI's GPT products to its cloud's model garden and Antigravity coding tool in the coming weeks.
Google's cloud momentum accelerates
Google Cloud's annualized revenue growth accelerated to about eighty two percent in the second quarter from sixty three percent in the first quarter, thanks partly to strong demand for AI models.
OpenAI's broader business strategy
For OpenAI, the effort reflects a growing push to expand distribution of its technology to enterprise developers. This is critical as the ChatGPT creator looks to build its business beyond its consumer roots.
The takeaway
OpenAI is making its models available on Google Cloud after years of competition, following similar deals with Amazon and ending Microsoft's exclusivity.
