OpenAI has announced a strategic expansion of its cloud infrastructure, integrating Google Cloud Platform as a compute provider for its flagship product, ChatGPT. This decision signifies a shift towards a multi-faceted resource diversification strategy, now encompassing four key providers: Microsoft, Google Cloud Platform, CoreWeave, and Oracle. The deployment of Google Cloud to support ChatGPT and its API will span five strategic regions: the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom. This change also reflects a transformation in the relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft. Despite significant investments, Microsoft officially recognized OpenAI as a competitor last year, leading to a more multifaceted interaction compared to their previous close collaboration.
