OpenAI says it has no plan to use Google's in-house chip
A spokesperson for OpenAI said on Sunday that while the AI lab is in early testing with some of Google's tensor processing units (TPUs), it has no plans to deploy them at scale right now. Google declined to comment. While it is common for AI labs to test out different chips, using new hardware at scale could take much longer and would require different architecture and software support. OpenAI is actively using Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs), and AMD's AI chips to power its growing demand.
OpenAI is also developing its chip, an effort that is on track to meet the 'tape-out' milestone this year, where the chip's design is finalized and sent for manufacturing. OpenAI has signed up for Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, Reuters had exclusively reported earlier this month, marking a surprising collaboration between two prominent competitors in the AI sector.
Most of the computing power used by OpenAI would be from GPU servers powered by the so-called neocloud company CoreWeave. Google has been expanding the external availability of its in-house AI chips, or TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use.
That helped Google win customers, including Big Tech player Apple, as well as startups like Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence, two ChatGPT-maker competitors launched by former OpenAI leaders.

Popular Canned food company Del Monte files for bankruptcy
Jul 02, 2025 08:24 AM IST Canned fruit company Del Monte Foods filed for bankruptcy, less than a year after executing a controversial debt restructuring. The firm entered a restructuring support agreement with lenders and started voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings to implement its terms, it said in a statement. It secured a commitment for $912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing, inclusive of $165 million in new funding, from certain existing lenders. Bankruptcy filed in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey states that the company has both liabilities and assets estimated between $1 billion and $10 billion.(Reuters/Representational Image) A filing with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey states that the company has both liabilities and assets estimated between $1 billion and $10 billion. The development ends a challenging year for the borrower that saw its parent company Del Monte Pacific Ltd. in June elect to skip a payment to the unit's lenders as part of a lawsuit settlement tied to a controversial debt restructuring.

All we know Del Monte Foods said in its statement that the restructuring support agreement contemplates the company undertaking a going-concern sale process for all or substantially all of its assets. Financing along with cash from ongoing operations is expected to provide sufficient liquidity during the sale process and fund ongoing operations, as it intends to keep serving customers, according to the statement. Del Monte Foods executed a debt overhaul last year, which became the subject of a lawsuit by left-behind lenders who said the company defaulted on a $725 million financing agreement when it shifted the assets away from the reach of lenders. The strategy, known in industry parlance as a drop-down transaction, allowed Del Monte Foods to raise fresh liquidity by borrowing against the transferred assets. The deal also prioritized participating lenders via debt swaps and created different payment priorities, Bloomberg reported.
