Nvidia-OpenAI partnership strengthens as ChatGPT-maker puts Google TPUs on backseat
is solidifying its partnership with OpenAI after the ChatGPT maker confirmed it has no immediate plans to extensively deploy Google's in-house
artificial intelligence
(AI) chips. This comes despite a recent cloud collaboration between the two AI rivals, a report said.
'We're proud to partner with OpenAI and continue powering the foundation of their work," Nvidia posted on X (formerly Twitter), while resharing a report by news agency Reuters stating OpenAI's decision to not use Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) at scale.
An OpenAI spokesperson told the agency over the weekend that while the AI lab is conducting early tests with some Google TPUs, there are no active plans for large-scale adoption.
The company will continue to rely on Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AI chips to meet its increasing computational needs.

What Google-OpenAI partnership means for Microsoft
This clarification from OpenAI follows a Reuters report just two days prior, which revealed that OpenAI had signed a cloud services deal with
Google Cloud
in May. This agreement marked a notable partnership between direct AI competitors.
The deal grants OpenAI access to Google's infrastructure, supporting the training and deployment of models like ChatGPT and lessening its dependence on Microsoft's Azure Cloud.
Google has expanded the external availability of its TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use. This initiative has attracted customers such as Apple and AI startups like Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence – founded by OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever. Reportedly, these custom chips offer Google a cost advantage and performance after Nvidia.

Elon Musk vs Sam Altman: Tesla chief to face OpenAI's harassment and ‘Sham Bid' allegations in spring 2026 trial
The long-running rift between Elon Musk and OpenAI is set to play out in court after a US judge refused to dismiss allegations that the Tesla chief waged a sustained campaign to damage the artificial intelligence company he helped to create. On Tuesday, District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that OpenAI's claims, which include accusations of a 'years-long harassment campaign' through public statements, social media posts, legal filings, and an alleged 'sham bid' for the company's assets, were strong enough to proceed to trial. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but parted ways before the launch of its widely used chatbot, ChatGPT. The relationship soured further when Musk sued OpenAI and chief executive Sam Altman last year, arguing that the company had abandoned its founding non-profit mission in favour of profit-making. In response, OpenAI filed a countersuit in April, accusing the Tesla CEO of fraudulent business practices under California law, claiming his actions were designed to damage the firm's reputation and operations. Musk had sought to have these counterclaims dismissed or delayed, but the court sided with OpenAI, clearing the way for the case to proceed. A jury trial has been scheduled for spring 2026, setting the stage for a high-profile legal battle over the future of one of the world's most influential AI companies. In separate news, Sam Altman has pushed back against Elon Musk's accusation that Apple is giving preferential treatment to ChatGPT on its App Store, preventing rival applications from reaching the top of the rankings. In a post on X, Altman criticised Musk, suggesting the Tesla boss has manipulated his own social media platform to serve his business interests while undermining competitors. 'This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like,' Altman wrote. He added that he would welcome further investigation into the matter: 'I hope there's an opportunity for counter-discovery, many of us would be interested to know what's really been going on. As for OpenAI, we'll stay focused on building great products.' (With inputs from Reuters)

Apple Arcade to get NFL Retro Bowl '26 Tech Wrap August 13 BS Tech POCO M7 Plus 5G with 7000mAh battery launched in India Chinese smartphone brand POCO has launched the M7 Plus 5G smartphone in India, its latest addition to the M7 series. Starting at Rs 13,999, the smartphone is said to lead the segment with a 7,000mAh battery and a 6.9-inch FHD+ display that supports 144Hz refresh rate. The POCO M7 Plus is also rated IP64 for dust and water resistance. Chinese consumer electronics maker Lenovo has launched two new Android tablets in India – IdeaTab with 5G connectivity option and Lenovo Tab. The Lenovo IdeaTab offers artificial intelligence features and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. The Lenovo Tab is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, and is said to be more suited for multimedia usage. Google has released the first look of its next-generation book-style folding smartphone, likely to be called the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The device is expected to debut alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup during the Made by Google event on August 20. From the preview, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold seems to retain much of its predecessor's design, but with some refinements. Google has also showcased the phone in a new shade, anticipated to be named 'Moonstone.' Nvidia has announced that Rockstar Games is adding its DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation (MFG) to Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. Nvidia is also rolling out a new Game Ready 580.97 driver to go with it. In simpler terms, if you have a compatible GeForce RTX 50-series or RTX 40-series graphics card, the game can now create extra in-between frames. This makes motion look smoother and helps maintain high graphics settings without the frame rate dropping — especially when using demanding ray tracing effects. Indian telecom and electronics firm Optiemus has unveiled RhinoTech, a new brand of tempered glass screen protectors. The company stated that RhinoTech will deliver premium, made-in-India protectors for smartphones using glass 'Engineered by Corning.' Apple has announced that three new titles will be added to its Arcade subscription service on September 4, expanding its library of more than 200 games. The upcoming releases include NFL Retro Bowl '26, Jeopardy! Daily, and My Talking Tom Friends+. In addition, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is set to receive a fresh update on September 18. Apple confirmed that all these games will be offered without ads or in-app purchases. Google Search is rolling out a new feature called Preferred Sources, allowing users in the US and India to personalise their Top Stories feed. According to a Google blog, the update lets people select their favourite news outlets so that content from these sources appears more frequently in the search results' Top Stories section. The feature is designed to give readers more control over the news they see, instead of relying solely on Google's algorithmic selection. OpenAI has returned with a long list of AI models in ChatGPT to choose from. OpenAI launched GPT-5 recently with the promise that it would remove the hassle for users to choose the model that they want to interact with, including GPT-4o. After facing backlash from users, OpenAI has introduced 'Auto', 'Fast', and 'Thinking' settings for GPT-5 that all ChatGPT users can select from the model picker. Additionally, it has also added all other existing models GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and o3 under the 'Legacy models' banner. Apple may be preparing to launch a budget-friendly MacBook model in the coming months. As reported by 9to5Mac, the company is said to be developing an entirely new entry-level MacBook variant that will use an iPhone-class A-series Apple Silicon instead of the M-series chips found in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. According to the report, this new MacBook could arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
