ChatGPT price reduction This means o3’s input price is now just $2 per million tokens, while the output price has dropped to $8 per million tokens. "We optimized our inference stack that serves o3.

Why OpenAI and Google's surprising new alliance makes a lot of AI sense

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-12-06 18:50:40

MF3d/Getty Images In geopolitics, nations with conflicting societal norms or ideological views must occasionally form alliances in the interest of protecting their mutual interests; practicality must take precedence over past rivalries. Today, a similar dynamic is starting to play out in the AI arms race. OpenAI, the AI start-up that skyrocketed to global fame following the viral success of its ChatGPT chatbot, has teamed up with Google, its longtime competitor, according to a Reuters report.

Alexander Farnsworth/Getty Images Denmark's Minister of Digitalization, Caroline Stage, has announced that the Danish government will start moving away from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Why? It's not because open-source is better, although I would argue that it is, but because Denmark wants to claim "digital sovereignty."
