Google Cloud has added OpenAI models to its Model Garden to give enterprises access to yet another major AI supplier through a single platform and cloud bill.

The rollout has started with a private preview of three models — GPT-Astra, GPT 6.1 Sol and GPT 6.0 Luna — for selected enterprise customers.

With the latest addition, Google Cloud has claimed to be the only hyperscale cloud provider to offer access to all three leading closed-source large language model families, together with more than 200 first-party, third-party and open models.

Customers will be able to use Google Cloud’s APIs to access the models and connect local Codex CLI and Desktop workflows to its Gemini platform for inference.

“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 of OpenAI.

Model choice

The expansion gives customers the ability to choose models according to workload requirements, balancing capability, latency, and cost.

GPT-Astra is designed for demanding coding, computer-use, professional and scientific research tasks. GPT 6.1 Sol offers near-Astra intelligence at a lower cost, while GPT 6.0 Luna targets fast, cost-efficient everyday work at scale.

“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 of Google Cloud.
