Distribution is the story. Selling through Google Cloud puts OpenAI's models in front of enterprise buyers who already have Google contracts, so a rival's cloud becomes a sales channel.

AI competition is heating up. Making these tools available across more platforms could accelerate adoption even further

half the enterprise contracts are going to be teams routing their OpenAI traffic through Google Cloud simply to avoid Azure outages.

If GPT-6 Astra or Codex breaks in production, buyers shouldn't have to referee OpenAI and Google.

$GOOGL wins either way here. they sell the rival model, they sell Anthropic, and $MSFT watches its exclusivity turn into a 27 percent stake and a shrug

OpenAI models like GPT-6 Astra and Codex landing on Google Cloud? That’s a crossover I didn’t expect to see.

Google Cloud is also the fastest-growing of the three: ~82% in Q2, vs 42% for Azure and 37% for AWS (CNBC). Now it gets to resell its biggest rival's models too.
