OpenAI Models Are Now On All Three Major US Cloud Platforms

OpenAI is bringing its models to Google Cloud's model garden and Antigravity coding tool, putting its technology on all three major U.S. cloud platforms after Microsoft's exclusive license ended earlier this year. "Google Cloud's longstanding investment in machine learning and AI has made it a destination for AI workloads and the developers and data scientists building them," OpenAI said in a blog post. It continues: [...] The integration will pair OpenAI's frontier models with Google Cloud's built-in access controls, centralized data governance, and high-performance infrastructure to support demanding enterprise workloads.

Google Cloud customers will be able to purchase OpenAI frontier models via model garden, transacted through the Google Cloud Marketplace. Enterprises with Google Cloud spend commitments will be able to draw down their GCP commitments for these purchases.

Additionally, OpenAI models will soon be available in Google Antigravity and the Gemini Agent, providing enterprise customers with model choice flexibility and the best model for each task. [...] For context, Microsoft previously held exclusive licensing rights to OpenAI's intellectual property, but that arrangement ended less than six months ago as OpenAI began expanding its partnerships with other cloud providers.

Just one day after Microsoft's exclusivity ended, Amazon announced plans to host OpenAI's models on its cloud platform in April.

A pro-Open AI story.
Hmmm. That means there must be some recent bad news about Open AI that needs hiding.

Yep: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/openai-president-greg-brockman-signed-180032359.html

Fuck Open AI.

I don't think surprising for any business to oppose government regulation. Nor do I see the need for it.

The thing I *do* see a need for is forcing all companies to provide transparent pricing. The only thing that subscription models currently promise is their price. What you're getting in return changes on a daily basis. That isn't okay.

"Nor do I see the need for it."

There is a small but finite chance that an AGI could take over and destroy humanity.
It is worth putting checks in to try and reduce that risk.

Nope. Can't happen. The whole theory is fucking batshit. There is an equal chance of lizard people from Neptune taking over humanity. The provenance of both stories is equally credible.

See if I just said lizard people from Neptune you'd just say that's ridiculous! When I add the take over humanity part, you say of course those fucking lizards would, they want our freedoms or oceans or people meat or some other shit we pretend to care about.

That's why you believe in AI singularity bullshit. You don't have th

Purchase?

"Google Cloud customers will be able to purchase OpenAI frontier models"

I don't think that word means what it's supposed to mean

Re: Longstanding?

Yes and no. Google has been in AI research for a long time. They bought DeepMind in 2014 and that wasn't the start. But they were a bit late in realizing the time had come to switch from research to product.
