10月28日，科技媒体The Information报道，OpenAI正计划采购谷歌（Google/Alphabet）的人工智能芯片，此举将加深这两家AI领域竞争对手之间的合作关系。
OpenAI是英伟达（NVDA.US）图形处理器（GPU）的最 大采购方之一，将其用于训练AI模型及推理计算。谷歌的Tensor Processing Unit（TPU）作为英伟达市场主导型AI芯片的替代方案，正获得越来越多企业的青睐——这些公司寻求性价比更优、更适配AI模型运行的芯片产品。谷歌已于今年开始向部分客户直接销售TPU。路透社曾于2025年6月报道，OpenAI已开始租用谷歌的AI芯片。
目前，科技巨头正加速数据中心与半导体领域的投入，以应对AI计算需求的激增。谷歌与OpenAI在AI产品及搜索业务上存在直接竞争，此次采购计划的财务条款等细节尚未披露。谷歌方面未在正常工作时间外回应路透社置评请求，OpenAI则拒绝置评。
谷歌母公司Alphabet将于周三盘后公布季度财报，投资者重点关注其AI巨额投资能否持续推动云业务增长。
