   OpenAI Reportedly Plans to Purchase TPUs from Google

   According to The Information, OpenAI plans to purchase AI chips from Google, with the transaction amount and other details not yet disclosed. OpenAI was previously one of NVIDIA's largest customers and has rented TPUs through Google Cloud since 2025, and is also recruiting engineers responsible for optimizing its frontier models on TPUs. Google has long rented out TPUs through Google Cloud and has begun selling chips directly to some customers.

   OpenAI Plans to Purchase TPU Chips from Google

   According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI plans to buy AI chips from Google, which is owned by Alphabet. The final terms of the deal are not yet clear, and both OpenAI and Google declined to comment. Google began selling TPUs directly to some customers this year. OpenAI previously announced plans to deploy its in-house chips later this year and is working with Broadcom to develop an internal chip, Jalapeno. Oracle also announced on Tuesday that it will, for the first time, offer customers computing power based on Google TPUs on its cloud platform.

   Anthropic's prospectus discloses mixed use of four types of chips, potentially weakening Nvidia's compute pricing power

   Anthropic disclosed in its S-1 prospectus that it uses four types of chips—Amazon Trainium, Google TPU, Nvidia GPU, and AMD GPU—to train Claude and provide services, and integrates compute from multiple parties into a unified, flexibly allocatable pool through software. Analysts believe that customers able to shift tasks across the four platforms have stronger bargaining power, which could weaken Nvidia's pricing power; however, Moorhead noted that Anthropic is still continuing to invest heavily in Nvidia compute, and Brad Gastwirth of Circular Technology also believes it does not constitute a major threat in the short term.

   Report: OpenAI Plans to Formally Adopt Google TPUs, Recruiting Engineers for Model Adaptation

   Foreign media outlet The Information reports that OpenAI plans to formally adopt Google Cloud's TPU AI ASIC chips and has been recruiting engineers to lead model adaptation and optimization work on TPUs; people familiar with the matter say it plans to purchase Google TPUs. Google TPUs once played an important role in OpenAI's early startup days, after which its compute shifted to NVIDIA, and it has successively purchased chips from AMD, Cerebras, AWS and others, while also developing its own Jalapeño. OpenAI said in July 2025 that it was conducting early testing of Google TPUs and had no plans for large-scale deployment for the time being.

   OpenAI plans to procure Google TPU chips and hire an engineer to lead optimization

   According to The Information citing people familiar with the matter, OpenAI plans to procure Google TPU chips and has posted a job listing seeking an engineer to lead the optimization of its most advanced frontier models on TPUs. OpenAI had previously begun using Google TPUs but had said it had no plans to use TPUs specifically; in August this year, Nvidia agreed to provide more than $100 billion in credit support for OpenAI's Ohio data center project, and Jensen Huang said OpenAI has committed to spending about $600 billion by 2030 to use Nvidia servers. On the same day, Google announced that Oracle will become the first major cloud service provider to rent TPUs to customers.
