ChatGPT-maker OpenAI goes to one of Microsoft's biggest competitors for more AI computational power
Representative image 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night?
