Oracle and Google to offer Google TPUs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure starting in 2027

Wed, Oct 28 00:00 UTC+8

Oracle and Google said on October 27 that Google's TPUs will be offered through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which Oracle calls the first time TPUs will be on a hyperscale cloud outside Google. Availability is planned for 2027, ramping over several years, for training, post-training and inference. CNBC reported OCI will also add OpenAI's Jalapeño chip and Cerebras hardware.

Why it matters

With compute scarce, clouds are adding accelerators beyond NVIDIA GPUs; Google selling its TPUs through another cloud widens their reach, though availability only starts in 2027.
