Google asked the FTC to end Microsoft’s sole right to host OpenAI ’s technology only on Microsoft’s own servers.


Reuters reported the information on December 10th. Someone involved in the matter said the search engine giant’s request followed the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s outreach to Google regarding Microsoft’s business methods as part of a broader investigation.


The story explained that other big cloud providers, namely Google and Amazon, also want to host OpenAI’s models so that customers of those companies can use OpenAI’s tools without having to go through Microsoft’s servers.


Google highlighted that added costs can burden OpenAI customers


It added that companies of OpenAI’s ChatGPT through Microsoft could face additional fees if they don’t already run on Microsoft’s servers. Other rivals of Microsoft say that these added costs will ultimately hurt the customers.


Reuters asked Microsoft, OpenAI, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the search engine giant for comment but did not get an immediate reply.
