# OpenAI’s models and Codex are coming to Google Cloud’s Model Garden

Customers will be able to buy through Google Cloud Marketplace and count it against existing Google Cloud commitments. No launch date, model list or pricing has been published yet.

**In short:** OpenAI said on 21 October 2026 that its frontier models and Codex agentic workflows are coming to Google Cloud’s Model Garden. Customers will buy them through Google Cloud Marketplace and can apply existing Google Cloud spending commitments. OpenAI has not given a date, a model list or prices.

## What was announced

OpenAI said its frontier models and Codex agentic workflows will be available in Google Cloud’s Model Garden, the catalogue where Google Cloud customers choose AI models.[^1][^2] The integration pairs OpenAI’s models with Google Cloud’s access controls, data governance and infrastructure, aimed at regulated industries.[^1]

According to ANI, customers will buy the models through Google Cloud Marketplace, and companies with existing Google Cloud spending commitments can apply them to these purchases.[^2] OpenAI models will also “soon” be available in Google Antigravity and the Gemini Agent, without a timeline.[^1][^2]

## What the companies said

OpenAI president Greg Brockman called it “an important step in making our most capable models and Codex available” to more customers, ANI reported.[^2] Google Cloud chief executive Thomas Kurian said Google is focused on “giving customers a broad selection of models, including those from OpenAI”.[^2]

## What has not been said

Neither source names which models will be offered, the prices, the regions or a launch date.[^1][^2] We will update this story when those details appear.

## What it means

For large companies, the main benefit is procurement, not technology. Many enterprises have already committed to spend a set amount with one cloud provider. Being able to use OpenAI’s models against that commitment, with the same identity, logging and data rules as other Google Cloud services, removes a common reason to pick one model over another.

For developers, it means more choice in one console: OpenAI’s models alongside Google’s Gemini and others in Model Garden. For Indian companies running on Google Cloud, data location and pricing in rupees or local regions will matter most, and those details are not yet known.

It also shows a wider pattern: leading AI labs now sell through several clouds rather than one.

## What to watch

- The model list, regions and prices when the listing goes live.
- When OpenAI models appear in Google Antigravity and the Gemini Agent.
