OpenAI intends to buy Google's TPU AI chips, according to a person familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg, as reported by X user Rohan Paul.

Amir Efrati's earlier X post made the same report and said the deal would be a win for Google and Nvidia. Neither report gives a price, volume, or timing, and neither cites a statement from OpenAI or Google.

Rohan Paul's post adds that Richard Ho, who leads OpenAI's chip team, previously worked on Google's TPUs, and that Oracle will offer TPUs through its cloud as an alternative to Nvidia GPUs.
