OpenAI Models Land on Google Cloud: Frontier Distribution Goes Multi-Cloud While the Watts Stay Exclusive

What happened: OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna models are coming to Google Cloud's Model Garden, with Codex agentic workflows connecting to Google's Gemini platform for inference. Access is a private preview for select enterprise customers. Key numbers: Announced October 21. Why it matters: Enterprises can transact through Google Cloud Marketplace on one invoice, but Google's FSP documentation states third-party products get no FSP discounts. The weights remain closed and pricing unpublished, so distribution widened while scarcity moved to compute. Market: +0.0% today ($77.55), -4.2% YTD, 1.4x vol — as of 07:45 UTC Coverage: 5 outlets in 24h
