Google Cloud has announced that it is launching OpenAI models in Google Cloud’s model garden. This makes Google Cloud the only hyperscale cloud provider offering access to all three leading closed source LLMs , alongside more than 200 first-party, third-party, and open models on a unified enterprise AI platform.
Google Cloud has always been defined by choice, enterprise-grade governance, and market-leading price-performance. This announcement builds on that foundation of openness and choice, giving customers flexibility to run agentic workloads across their choice of models and infrastructure to achieve the right balance of cost, capability, and performance.
“Google Cloud is a trusted platform for developers and businesses building AI agents, writing software, and putting AI to work. This partnership is an important step in making our most capable models and Codex available where customers are already building, giving them even more choice in how they use frontier AI as we grow the agentic ecosystem together,” said Greg Brockman, President and co-founder, OpenAI.
“We are focused on giving customers a broad selection of models, including those from OpenAI, so they can choose the right model for any given job, helping to deliver optimal quality and lower costs,” said Thomas Kurian, Chief Executive Officer, Google Cloud.
The Right Model for Every Workload
By adding OpenAI’s newest models to model garden, Google Cloud is giving teams options across the full spectrum of enterprise workloads:
GPT-Astra: Designed for demanding work across coding, computer use, professional tasks, and scientific research.
GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence at lower cost across agentic coding, computer use, and professional work.
GPT 6.0 Luna: A fast, cost-efficient model for everyday work at scale.
Using the platform, customers can dynamically select and swap the optimal model for any use case based on performance, latency, and cost efficiency without architectural lock-in or separate vendor contracts.

Developers gain the freedom to build with hundreds of choices in model garden. Because OpenAI models are transacted directly through Google Cloud Marketplace, all usage appears on a single Google Cloud invoice, draws down existing cloud commitments, and counts toward Flexible Savings Plans (FSP) across model providers.
Built-in Data Governance and Enterprise Security
Scaling generative AI should never require compromising on compliance or security. Built from the ground up for enterprise governance, the Gemini platform is trusted by leading global organizations today. Google Cloud ensures that running any third-party or OpenAI workload meets the most rigorous enterprise standards:
Strict Data Perimeters: Customer prompts, context, and outputs remain entirely within their designated data perimeter and are never used to train foundation models, with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) options available coming soon.
Isolated Access Boundaries: OpenAI models run on dedicated Google Cloud infrastructure with Confidential Compute coming soon. All queries are routed through hardened, isolated gateways, ensuring data transit remains strictly within Google Cloud’s secure environment and third-party model providers have no unauthorized access to a customer’s cloud environment.
Unified Auditing & Identity: Every agent and model interaction operates under an authenticated identity, giving IT administrators end-to-end visibility, VPC Service Controls protection, and unified audit logging across their entire enterprise footprint.
Getting Started
OpenAI’s GPT-Astra, GPT 6.1 Sol, and GPT 6.0 Luna models are rolling out now in private preview to select enterprise customers in Google Cloud’s model garden, with more coming soon.
Starting today, customers can build with these models through Google Cloud’s APIs and connect their local Codex CLI and Desktop workflows directly to the Gemini platform for inference.
Coming soon, OpenAI models will be available in Google Cloud’s Gemini for business and Google Antigravity, providing enterprise customers and developers with model choice flexibility and the best model for every task
Google Cloud offers a powerful, optimized AI stack—including AI infrastructure, leading models like Gemini, data management capabilities, multicloud security solutions, developer tools and platform, as well as agents and applications—that enables organizations to transform their business for the Agentic Era. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted technology partner.
