OpenAI Plans to Buy Google's AI Chips, The Information Reports - BusinessWorld Online
- On Tuesday, The Information reported that OpenAI plans to buy Google's AI chips, citing a person familiar with the matter as technology companies ramp up spending to meet surging demand for computing.
- Google developed Tensor Processing Units over a decade ago initially to improve search efficiency, but the chips soon proved valuable for handling AI work and emerged as an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units.
- Richard Ho, who leads OpenAI's internal chip team, previously helped develop Google's TPUs, while Anthropic is among the customers driving demand for Google's Tensor Processing Units.
- Oracle announced on Tuesday that TPUs would be available through its cloud infrastructure, as Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft plan to spend nearly $600 billion combined this year on AI infrastructure.
- The purchase deepens ties between OpenAI and Alphabet's Google despite their competition in AI products, with Alphabet expecting to recognize a small percentage of TPU revenue by the end of this year.
