Briefings
OpenAI and Google have established a partnership allowing GPT models to launch on Google Cloud alongside Gemini and Anthropic's Claude AI. This expansion adds three new GPT variants (Astra, Sol, Luna) to Google's Model Garden, making it the only major cloud provider offering access to all three leading closed LLMs. The Astra model is noted as the most expensive option, while Google supports dynamic workload shifting between models based on performance and efficiency metrics.
Key points
- OpenAI and Google have agreed to allow GPT models to launch on Google Cloud services alongside existing Gemini and Anthropic Claude AI access.
- The Model Garden now includes access to Gemini, Mistral, Llama, Gemma, and the three new GPT variants (Astra, Sol, Luna), with Astra being the most expensive option.
Context
This partnership expands Google's cloud offerings, making it the only major provider with access to all three leading closed LLMs. OpenAI notes Microsoft remains its primary cloud partner, but this new arrangement significantly broadens the ecosystem for enterprise and enthusiast users.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to the article's announcement of the partnership and model availability. Specific pricing details for the new GPT variants beyond 'most expensive' are not provided. The article does not contain specific dates for the launch timeline, only the publication date of the source.
