OpenAI Reportedly in Talks to Buy Google’s AI Chips, Diversifying Beyond Nvidia

OpenAI is reportedly exploring a purchase of Google's artificial intelligence chips, according to reports from The Cryptonomist and Decrypt. The reports say the ChatGPT maker wants to expand its computing power by tapping Google's custom-built processors, known as Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs. For years, Nvidia has dominated the market for AI training hardware. Its graphics processing units have become the default choice for companies building large language models, including OpenAI. A move toward Google's chips would represent a notable shift in that dynamic.
