The company OpenAI has reached an agreement with Google to use cloud services to support the operation of ChatGPT and other products, aiming to expand its computing capabilities beyond its collaboration with Microsoft. According to sources, the agreement was finalized in May after several months of negotiations.
The agreement came as a surprise to the industry, as Google and OpenAI are direct competitors — Google’s Gemini model competes with ChatGPT, and both companies are actively developing their own AI-based search solutions.
The exact list of services that will operate on Google Cloud is not yet disclosed. It is known that the collaboration will allow OpenAI to more flexibly scale its products for end users, ensuring stable operation of ChatGPT and other services even under heavy load.
For users, this means potential improvements in the speed and availability of OpenAI products, as well as increased reliability when working with generative AI.
