Codex and OpenAI models come to Google Cloud
Google Cloud teams can soon buy OpenAI models right where they build.
OpenAI said on Oct 21, 2026 that Codex agentic workflows are coming to Google Cloud’s Model Garden alongside the models, which will be sold through Google Cloud Marketplace.
General availability is planned in the coming weeks, and you can request access now.
What changed
OpenAI’s models are coming to Google Cloud’s Model Garden. So teams that already keep data and budget there can buy them in place.
What it makes possible
- Pick OpenAI models from Model Garden, with Google Cloud’s built-in access controls and centralized data governance around them, an approach aimed at organizations in regulated industries.
- Enterprises with Google Cloud spend commitments can draw those commitments down for these purchases.
- OpenAI models will also come soon to Google Antigravity and the Gemini agent.
A possible use
A team that already runs on Google Cloud could pick OpenAI models in Model Garden, pay for the models through Google Cloud Marketplace and, with a spend commitment, draw that commitment down. It could also evaluate Codex agentic workflows there for its software development.
What to do now
OpenAI plans general availability within weeks, and its announcement has a link to request access.
