OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI plans to buy Google’s tensor processing units, The Information reports, potentially giving the ChatGPT maker another source of AI computing hardware beyond Nvidia.
Why it mattersThe report describes the plan as a scoop but provides no purchase volume or timing in the supplied account. It is a reported intention, not a completed deal. Google’s chips are also moving towards availability through other providers, making the question of who can access them more than a hardware footnote.
Discuss: If OpenAI adds Google’s chips to its supply mix, does that meaningfully reduce its reliance on Nvidia, or is access to compute still the bigger constraint?
