OpenAI is expanding its enterprise footprint by partnering with rival Google Cloud to make its frontier artificial intelligence models and Codex agentic workflows available to developers in the coming weeks. The rollout will place OpenAI's technology directly into Google Cloud's Model Garden and its Antigravity coding tool, allowing customers to deploy OpenAI tools alongside Google's own Gemini models.[1][7][9][10][11]

Under the arrangement, enterprise customers can purchase access to models such as GPT-6 Astra through the Google Cloud Marketplace, drawing against existing cloud spending commitments while relying on Google Cloud's infrastructure and data governance.[2][6][11][12]

The integration marks another step in OpenAI's push toward multi-cloud availability. While Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, OpenAI's exclusive Microsoft cloud distribution deal ended earlier this year, clearing the way for a launch on Amazon Web Services in April and now expanding to all three major hyperscalers.[1][2][3][4][5][12]
