OpenAI plans to buy Google’s AI chips, The Information reported Tuesday, October 27 — a shift from renting Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) since June 2025 to buying them outright. No price or size was disclosed, and OpenAI declined to comment. The move matters because OpenAI already ranks among Nvidia’s largest buyers, Google’s TPUs give buyers an alternative to Nvidia, and Amazon, Microsoft, and Google plan up to $600 billion combined on AI infrastructure this year.
