Google Cloud Now Offers OpenAI Models Alongside Gemini and Claude, Becoming the Only Major Provider with All Three
Original title: Google Cloud now offers OpenAI models alongside Gemini and Claude, becoming the only major provider with all three
Starting October 21, Google Cloud is offering three OpenAI models—GPT-6 Astra for high-demand coding and research tasks, GPT-6.1 Sol as a cost-effective alternative with similar performance, and GPT-6 Luna for fast, low-cost daily use—to select enterprise customers via private preview. These models will be integrated into Gemini for Business and Google Antigravity, with billing consolidated under existing Google Cloud contracts, and Google has pledged not to use customer data for training. The move highlights resource tensions between supporting rival models and Google's internal Gemini team, reportedly prompting researcher Noam Shazeer to return to OpenAI.
Google Cloud’s simultaneous hosting of OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude models offers readers insight into the multi-cloud model hosting trend and the resulting resource strain on Google’s own Gemini team.
