Reuters noted that no financial terms were disclosed, and OpenAI declined to comment. This development follows reports in June 2025 that OpenAI had begun testing Google’s chips, though the company initially stated it had no plans for large-scale deployment.\n\nThe report does not indicate that OpenAI is reducing its reliance on Nvidia, which remains a major supplier. In August, Nvidia stated that OpenAI’s commitments amount to approximately 12 gigawatts of computing power, with a potential opportunity value of about $600 billion through 2030. Additionally, Nvidia agreed to guarantees capped at $105 billion for an Ohio data center campus that will primarily house Nvidia hardware.\n\nNvidia’s stock showed little reaction to the news, trading around $218. The company’s CFO, Colette Kress, described the outlook as supply-constrained, with demand significantly outpacing production capabilities. Nvidia’s supplier commitments rose to $279 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, up from $119 billion three months earlier. Analysts suggest that because Nvidia cannot currently meet all customer demand, the reported plan may not immediately impact its revenue.","keyPoints":["The Information reported OpenAI plans to buy Google TPUs, shifting from renting to ownership.","Nvidia stated OpenAI’s commitments total around 12 gigawatts, with a $600 billion opportunity through 2030.","Nvidia’s supplier commitments increased to $279 billion in fiscal Q2 2027, reflecting supply constraints."],"whyItMatters":"This report suggests diversification in AI hardware sourcing, but Nvidia’s current supply constraints mean the immediate financial impact may be limited.
