OpenAI models will soon be available for purchase through the Google Cloud Marketplace. This partnership helps OpenAI reach more enterprise customers using existing cloud spending commitments. Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said the platform "welcomes any model popular with developers." This move follows the end of OpenAI’s exclusive Microsoft deal.
The partnership will make OpenAI's models available for purchase through the Google Cloud Marketplace.
Customers will also be able to use their existing cloud spending commitments for these purchases.
This move is part of OpenAI's strategy to reach more enterprise customers with its cutting-edge AI technology.
The deal also allows customers in regulated industries to access OpenAI models through Google Cloud's access controls and data governance tools.
The deal with OpenAI is a major step in Google's strategy to position its cloud unit as a neutral platform, offering customers a wider choice of models.
This comes after the company signed a cloud deal with OpenAI last year to provide it more computing capacity.
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, had previously told Reuters that the platform welcomes any model popular with developers.
OpenAI's move to partner with Google Cloud comes after its exclusive distribution deal with Microsoft expired in April.
Since then, the company has expanded its distribution to Amazon Web Services and now Google Cloud.
This is a major development in the AI industry as hyperscalers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are becoming key distributors of top AI models.
