OpenAI is tapping Google Cloud to boost its massive compute needs, Reuters reports. This marks a rare team-up between two top AI rivals: OpenAI and Alphabet.
The open-sourced AI leader usually leans on Microsoft Azure for cloud power. Now, it’s diversifying with Google’s infrastructure as demand surges.
Three unnamed sources told Reuters that OpenAI struck the deal to avoid relying on a single provider as it scales GPT models and other AI workloads.
This move shakes up the AI cloud wars by mixing competitors’ resources amid the fierce race for dominance.
OpenAI hasn’t commented publicly on the pact yet.
