Bloomberg: OpenAI plans to buy AI chips from Google, adding a direct rival’s processors to its compute build-out.

Richard Ho, who runs OpenAI’s chip team, previously worked on Google’s TPUs, linking OpenAI’s in-house effort to the hardware it now plans to buy.

Oracle will also offer TPUs through its cloud, so Google’s chips are spreading to outside buyers and rival clouds as an alternative to Nvidia GPUs.
