OpenAI has started renting Google’s AI chips to power its products, marking a shift from reliance on Microsoft’s data centers. This collaboration aims to reduce inference costs using Google’s tensor processing units (TPUs) as a cheaper alternative to Nvidia’s GPUs. However, Google is not providing its most powerful TPUs to OpenAI. This partnership highlights a surprising collaboration between two competitors in the AI sector, as Google expands the external availability of its TPUs, previously reserved for internal use.
