OpenAI plans to procure Google TPU chips and hire an engineer to lead optimization
According to The Information citing people familiar with the matter, OpenAI plans to procure Google TPU chips and has posted a job listing seeking an engineer to lead the optimization of its most advanced frontier models on TPUs. OpenAI had previously begun using Google TPUs but had said it had no plans to use TPUs specifically; in August this year, Nvidia agreed to provide more than $100 billion in credit support for OpenAI's Ohio data center project, and Jensen Huang said OpenAI has committed to spending about $600 billion by 2030 to use Nvidia servers. On the same day, Google announced that Oracle will become the first major cloud service provider to rent TPUs to customers.
