OpenAI Models and Codex to Launch on Google Model Garden

OpenAI and Google Cloud announced that OpenAI's models and Codex agent workflows will launch on Google Model Garden, with plans to subsequently enter Google Antigravity and Gemini Agent. Enterprises already on Google Cloud can call OpenAI models within their existing environments, combined with Google Cloud's access controls, data governance, and infrastructure. This move follows OpenAI ending its cloud exclusivity agreement with Microsoft and launching models on AWS in April, giving its models coverage across various cloud providers.

OpenAI Brings Models and Codex to Google Cloud

OpenAI will connect its AI models and Codex coding agent to Google Cloud; enterprise customers can access them through Model Garden and purchase them on Google Cloud Marketplace using existing cloud spending commitments, with general availability expected in the coming weeks. These models will run under Google's access controls, data governance, and infrastructure; customer prompts, context, and outputs remain within designated data boundaries and are not used to train foundation models, and a zero data retention option is expected later. The two sides also plan to connect OpenAI models to Google's agent development platforms Antigravity and Gemini Agent; Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, but a revised agreement between the two in April allows OpenAI to offer products on other cloud providers.

OpenAI and Google Reach AI Distribution Agreement; GPT-6 Astra and Codex to Launch on Google…

OpenAI and Google have reached an AI distribution agreement. Within weeks, OpenAI will list GPT-6 Astra and Codex on Google Cloud's Model Garden, extending its model coverage to all three major U.S. clouds. Customers can purchase these models through Google Cloud Marketplace and count the spending toward their committed cloud consumption quotas, eliminating a separate procurement process; regulated customers can also run agent workflows built with OpenAI models within Google Cloud's access control and data governance tools. The agreement only became possible after April 27, 2026, when Microsoft's license to OpenAI technology became non-exclusive and Microsoft stopped paying OpenAI a revenue share on Azure resales; AWS had previously been first to launch Codex on Bedrock.
