Google has partnered with OpenAI to bring the latter's frontier models to Google Cloud services and its agent-powered coding tool, Antigravity. This arrangement adds OpenAI's latest models, including GPT 6 and 6.1 variants Astra, Sol, and Luna, to Google's Model Garden, which already hosts over 200 options including Gemini and open-source models like Mistral and Llama. Anthropic's Claude AI is also available.
While OpenAI maintains Microsoft as its primary cloud partner, this move makes Google the only large cloud provider offering access to all three leading closed LLMs. Enterprises with Google Cloud commitments can now easily integrate GPT models via the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing dynamic workload migration between models based on performance and latency. OpenAI notes that Microsoft remains its primary cloud partner, but the new availability on Google Cloud provides businesses with greater flexibility to replace existing models. The integration aims to simplify AI adoption for existing Google Cloud users.
