OpenAI reportedly plans to buy Google’s AI chips to expand its computing capacity, deepening a business relationship between two rivals in AI products and search. The planned purchase of Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs, comes as OpenAI develops its own processor with Broadcom for deployment by the end of 2026. Key takeaways OpenAI’s reported TPU purchase plan follows earlier rentals of Google chips. OpenAI targets the end of 2026 for its Broadcom-designed Jalapeno processor. Oracle plans to offer Google TPUs through its cloud infrastructure. Alphabet expects most revenue from TPU sales agreements in 2027.
