The Information separately reports that OpenAI, a major Nvidia customer, plans to buy Google's TPUs; financial terms were not disclosed and the report cites a person familiar with the matter. The timing matters: Alphabet reports third-quarter earnings Wednesday, and Anthropic's IPO filing laid out huge TPU commitments, including a plan to spend $114.5 billion with Google Cloud. TPUs began as chips Google used only internally, and outside customers have rented them through Google Cloud since 2018.",
