Bloomberg：OpenAI 计划采购 Google TPU 用于算力扩张
Why we picked it
OpenAI 要买竞争对手 Google 的 TPU 了，Oracle 云也会对外卖，买 GPU 之外又多了个选项，这条供应链变化挺有意思。
据 Bloomberg 报道，OpenAI 计划从 Google 采购 AI 芯片，把竞争对手的处理器纳入自己的算力建设。OpenAI 芯片团队负责人 Richard Ho 曾参与 Google TPU 的研发。Oracle 也将通过其云服务对外提供 TPU，使 Google 芯片成为 Nvidia GPU 之外的替代选项。

Bloomberg: OpenAI plans to buy AI chips from Google, adding a direct rival’s processors to its compute build-out.
Richard Ho, who runs OpenAI’s chip team, previously worked on Google’s TPUs, linking OpenAI’s in-house effort to the hardware it now plans to buy.
Oracle will also offer TPUs through its cloud, so Google’s chips are spreading to outside buyers and rival clouds as an alternative to Nvidia GPUs.
