Intel Summary
Google Cloud has begun offering OpenAI models alongside Gemini and Claude, making it the first major hyperscaler to host all three leading model families on one platform. At launch, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna are accessible in private preview for enterprise customers.
Why It Matters
Enterprise buyers gain the ability to deploy, compare, and orchestrate across all three dominant foundation model providers within a unified cloud environment. This reduces vendor lock-in and shifts cloud platform competition from model exclusivity to unified governance, management, and tooling.
