Openi plans to use the Google Cloud service, owned by Alphabet, to meet its growing calculation needs, said three sources in Reuters, a surprising collaboration between two main competitors in the artificial intelligence sector.
The agreement, which was discussed a few months ago, was finalized in May, added one of the sources.
The business is a victory for Google’s cloud computing unit, which will provide an additional processing capacity for the existing Openii infrastructure used to train and perform the AI models, according to sources.
The initiative also occurs at a time when Chatgpt represented the largest threat in the Google research sector, with Google managers who recently affirm that the race Ai may not be an absolute winning scenario.
Openi, Google and Microsoft refused to comment. Alphabet shares increased by 2.1% on Tuesday afternoon after the publication of the news. Microsoft’s roles decreased by 0.6%.
In a note on Tuesday, Scotiabank’s analysts called the “Something Amazing” agreement, highlighting growth opportunities for the Google cloud unit, expressing caution on the competition of chatgpt.
“The agreement (…) underlines the fact that the two companies are willing to ignore the strong competition with each other to meet the enormous needs of information technology. In the end, we see this as a great victory for the Google cloud unit, but (…) there are continuous concerns that Chatgpt is becoming a growing threat to the dominion of Google’s research,” he wrote the analyzes.
The partnership with Google is the latest of the various Openi maneuvers to reduce its dependence on Microsoft, whose cloud service of Azure was, until January, the infrastructure provider of the Open Open Data Center of Open of Opens.
Google and Openai discussed an agreement for months, but they were unable to enter a company before due to the exclusive bond of Openi with Microsoft, a source told Reuters. Microsoft and Openi are also in conversations to review the terms of its multimilionary investment, including the future shareholding that Microsoft will have in Openi.
For Google, the agreement arrives at a time when Big Tech is expanding the external availability of its tensor processing units, or TPU, historically reserved for internal use. This helped Google to win customers such as Safe Surgelligence and anthropic startups, two Openii rivals created by former leader of Openi and Apple.
Alphabet must also face the pressure of the market to demonstrate financial returns on its capital expenses related to artificial intelligence, which should achieve $ 75 billion this year, while protecting the results from competition offers, as well as antitrust laws.
Deepmind, Google Ai Unit, also competes directly with Openi and Anthropic in the development of better models and in the integration of these progress with applications.
The sale of computer energy reduces the supply of Google chips, while strengthening competitors to limited capacity. The agreement with Openai will further complicate the way in which the CEO of Alphabet, Sundar Pichai, will assign the ability between the contrasting interests of Google companies in the corporate segments and consumers.
