According to PandoraTech News, citing foreign media reports, OpenAI has officially confirmed that part of its ChatGPT service will be deployed and run on Google Cloud. This move is seen as a major adjustment to the company's cloud service strategy.

OpenAI has long relied on Microsoft Azure as its primary cloud computing platform, and Microsoft is also a major investor in OpenAI. However, to reduce its reliance on a single partner, OpenAI is gradually diversifying its cloud deployment architecture.

In its latest published "Sub-Processor List", Google Cloud is listed as the cooperative cloud platform responsible for supporting Enterprise Edition, Education Edition, Team Edition and API services, with deployment scope covering countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway and the Netherlands.

For general users (such as free version and Plus subscribers), they may not notice the difference in backend switching. This change is mainly aimed at the infrastructure part of enterprise and professional-level services.

🔍 Analysis

This collaboration marks the entry of OpenAI's cloud computing strategy into the "multi-cloud" era. Its significance can be understood from the following points:

1. Reduce the risk of single-point dependence - In the past, OpenAI was highly dependent on Microsoft Azure, which limited its resource scheduling and policy changes. This shift to Google Cloud will help diversify risks.
2. Enhance global service resiliency - Using multiple cloud providers in different regions can help improve service stability, responsiveness, and regulatory compliance.
3. This shows OpenAI's confidence in technology and its bargaining power has increased - as its independent model research and development capabilities are enhanced, OpenAI is no longer completely restricted to the Azure ecosystem, and cooperation with Google may also bring about the optimization of GPU computing resources.
4. A new landscape is emerging in the cloud battlefield - the infrastructure war for large AI models and inference services is intensifying among Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. This move also shows that OpenAI is gradually gaining the initiative.

In the future, it is not ruled out that OpenAI will continue to expand to platforms such as AWS and Oracle Cloud to form a broader multi-cloud ecosystem.
