OpenAI Frontier Models Arrive on Google Cloud and Model Garden

OpenAI and Google Cloud are partnering to make frontier GPT models and Codex workflows available to enterprise users via Model Garden.

Proof3 independent outlets1 community thread

Key points

  • The full suite of GPT-6 and GPT-6.1 models—Astra, Sol, and Luna—will launch on Google Cloud, available as a private preview for enterprise customers.
  • OpenAI models and Codex workflows will be accessible through Google Cloud Marketplace and the Model Garden, which contains over 200 neural networks.
  • GPT models will also soon be integrated into Antigravity, Google's agent-powered coding tool.
  • While Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, Google Cloud's platform supports dynamically moving workloads between LLMs based on performance, latency, and efficiency.

Why it matters

  • Google Cloud becomes the first large cloud provider to offer all three leading closed LLM families—Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI's GPTs—on a single platform.

    Google would certainly prefer that everyone used its Gemini models with Google Cloud services, but soon, you'll have more options. OpenAI and Google have come to an arrangement that will see the former's frontier models arrive in Google Cloud services. Perhaps more importantly, GPT models will soon appear in Antigravity, Google's agent-powered coding tool.
    Google says it's now the only large cloud provider offering access to all three leading closed LLMs. While OpenAI notes that Microsoft continues to be its primary cloud partner, the full suite of current GPT 6 and 6.1 models—Astra, Sol, and Luna—will launch on Google Cloud. Astra will naturally cost the most to run, but Google's system supports dynamically moving workloads between LLMs based on p
