OpenAI plans to buy Google AI chips to reduce Nvidia reliance
OpenAI plans to purchase artificial intelligence chips from Google as part of an effort to diversify its hardware supply away from Nvidia, according to reports by The Information and Bloomberg.
OpenAI is preparing to buy Google AI computing chips, according to a report by The Information citing a person familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at diversifying OpenAI's compute infrastructure and reducing its dependence on Nvidia, which is a major supplier and backer of the ChatGPT maker.[2][3][4][5][8]
The reported purchase involves Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and follows earlier steps by OpenAI to rent Google's TPU chips, moving beyond sole dependence on Microsoft for compute. OpenAI has also posted a job listing seeking an engineer to lead the optimization of its AI models on TPUs.[3][6][7]
Bloomberg separately reported that OpenAI intends to acquire AI computing chips from Google. Financial terms and the exact scale of any deal have not been disclosed, and final terms remain unknown.[1][2]
