OpenAI to offer its AI models on Google Cloud within weeks

OpenAI says it will offer its AI models on Google's cloud in the coming weeks. Developers will be able to use them through Google Cloud's model garden and through Antigravity, Google's coding tool. The news was reported by CNBC and passed along by Techmeme.

What changed

A model garden is a catalog inside Google Cloud where developers pick the AI models they want to build with. OpenAI's models will be listed there. They will also come to Antigravity, a tool that helps people write software with AI assistance.

OpenAI first launched on Amazon's AWS cloud in April. Google becomes the second big cloud to carry its models.

Who it affects

The change matters most to companies whose software already runs on Google or Amazon. They may soon be able to use OpenAI models without opening a separate account with OpenAI. That could mean simpler setup and fewer bills to track.

What is not known yet

• The exact launch date, beyond "the coming weeks."
• Which OpenAI models will be included.
• What the models will cost on Google Cloud.

What happens next

Businesses that use Google Cloud may want to watch the model garden for the new listings. Until pricing and model details are published, there is little to compare. The move also follows years of competition between OpenAI and Google, so it is a notable shift in how the two companies work together.
