Google Cloud Adds OpenAI's GPT 6.1 Models and Brings Them to Antigravity Coding Tool
OpenAI and Google have reached a deal to offer OpenAI's GPT 6.1 Astra, Sol, and Luna models in Google Cloud's Model Garden, running entirely on Google infrastructure, with private preview rolling out now for select enterprise customers. GPT models will also come to Google's agent-powered coding tool Antigravity, making Google the only major cloud provider offering all three leading closed LLMs. Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner.
Skynet Chance (0%): Wider distribution of frontier models, including into agentic coding tools, slightly broadens deployment surface but introduces no new capabilities or control failures. The impact on loss-of-control risk is minimal.
Skynet Date (+0 days): This is a distribution and commercial arrangement rather than a capability advance, so it has negligible effect on the pace of risk-relevant developments.
AGI Progress (0%): No new model capabilities are introduced; the deal mainly expands access to existing frontier models. It reflects maturing commercialization rather than technical progress toward AGI.
AGI Date (+0 days): Expanded compute access and enterprise revenue for OpenAI may marginally support further scaling, but the effect on the AGI timeline is very small.
