Google would certainly prefer everyone to use their Gemini models with Google Cloud services, but you’ll soon have more options. OpenAI and Google have reached an agreement that will allow the former’s frontier models to reach Google Cloud services. Perhaps most importantly, GPT models will soon appear in Antigravity, Google’s agent-powered encryption tool.
For enterprise customers and AI enthusiasts, OpenAI’s latest model will appear in Google’s Model Garden in the coming weeks, adding to its more than 200 options. The garden already offers access to Google’s Gemini models, as well as a variety of open models such as Mistral, Llama and Gemma. Anthropic’s Claude AI has also been available for some time. Google says it is now the only major cloud provider to offer access to the three major closed LLMs.
While OpenAI notes that Microsoft remains its primary cloud partner, the full suite of current GPT 6 and 6.1 models (Astra, Sol and Luna) will be launched on Google Cloud. Naturally, Astra will cost more to run, but Google’s system supports dynamically moving workloads between LLMs based on throughput, latency, and efficiency.
OpenAI models will be available to run entirely on Google infrastructure, and transactions will be handled through the Google Cloud Marketplace. For businesses with established spending commitments on Google Cloud, this will make it easier to use GPT models instead of the ones they used before.
