ChatGPT-maker OpenAI goes to one of Microsoft's biggest competitors for more AI computational power
ChatGPT-maker
OpenAI
has said that it expects to use Google's cloud infrastructure for its popular artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The reach to one of the biggest competitors of Microsoft – the tech giant company that has spent about $13 billion in the company – for additional capacity aligns with its desire for more computing power to meet heavy demand after initially relying exclusively on Microsoft for cloud capacity.
According to a report by CNBC, OpenAI has added Google to a list of suppliers, specifying that ChatGPT and its application programming interface will use the Google Cloud Platform, as well as Microsoft, CoreWeave and Oracle.
The announcement amounts to a win for Google, whose cloud unit is younger and smaller than Amazon's and Microsoft's. Google also has a cloud business with Anthropic, which was established by former OpenAI executives.
The Google infrastructure will run in the US, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom, the report added.

OpenAI's relationship with Microsoft and other cloud deals
Last year, Oracle announced that it was partnering with Microsoft and OpenAl 'to extend the Microsoft Azure Al platform to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure' to give OpenAI additional computing power. In March, OpenAI committed to a cloud agreement with CoreWeave in a five-year deal worth nearly $12 billion.
Microsoft said in January that it had agreed to move to a model of providing the right of first refusal anytime OpenAI needs more computing resources, rather than being its exclusive vendor across the board. Microsoft continues to hold the exclusive on OpenAI's programming interfaces.
OpenAI and Microsoft's relations have evolved since last year, with Microsoft naming OpenAI as a competitor last year as both companies sell AI tools for developers and offer subscriptions to companies.
Sam Altman, OpenAI's co-founder and CEO, said in April that the startup, which draws on Nvidia graphics processing units to power its large language models, was facing capacity constraints.
'if anyone has GPU capacity in 100k chunks we can get asap please call!' he wrote in an X post at the time.

Microsoft To Build Digital Replica Of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral
Microsoft is teaming up with the French government to create a digital replica of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral, France's most visited monument, the US tech company's president, Brad Smith, said on Monday. The 862-year-old Gothic masterpiece was reopened last December after a five-year restoration following a devastating fire in 2019. A digital replica will serve as a record of the building's architectural details, Microsoft said. It will also provide a virtual experience for visitors and those unable to visit. The cathedral became a symbol of Paris and France after Victor Hugo used it as a setting for his 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Quasimodo, the main character, has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, an animated Disney adaptation and in musicals. Last year, Microsoft worked with Iconem, a French company that specialises in digitalisation of heritage sites, on a digital replica of St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. "One of the things we learned from the work at St Peter's is how a digital twin can help support the ongoing maintenance of a building. Because you capture a digital record of every centimetre and what is there and what it's supposed to look like," Smith told Reuters. "The ability to create a digital twin right now I think will provide an enormously valuable digital record that I believe people are going to be using 100 years from now," he said. Since 2019, Microsoft has digitally preserved heritage sites and events including Ancient Olympia in Greece, Mont Saint-Michel in France and the 80th Anniversary of the Allied Beach Landings in Normandy.
