OpenAI will make its frontier AI models and Codex coding agent available through Google Cloud within the coming weeks, marking a significant deepening of cooperation between the two tech rivals. The partnership will bring OpenAI's latest models, including GPT-6 Astra, to Google Cloud's Model Garden. Customers will be able to purchase these models directly on Google Cloud Marketplace and settle payments using existing cloud procurement credits. The move underscores how major cloud providers are becoming key distribution channels for top-tier AI models as OpenAI expands its reach to enterprise customers.
