OpenAI in talks with Google to buy its TPU chips and expand its computing capacity
OpenAI is negotiating with Google to buy its TPU processors to expand its computing resources, according to The Information. Sam Altman's lab has been renting chips from Google since 2025, and its data centers, run with partners such as Oracle, SoftBank and CoreWeave, rely on Nvidia chips. In late August it unveiled Jalapeño, its own chip optimized for inference. The deal aims to reduce its dependence on Nvidia GPUs, which are costly and whose availability fluctuates due to TSMC's difficulty meeting demand.
