Google sells TPUs into Oracle's cloud for the first time as Oracle's $90 billion chip plan still hedges Nvidia

At Oracle's▲+4.44% — Oracle, up 4.44 percent today AI World conference in Las Vegas on October 27, one cloud signed four silicon suppliers in a single morning ¹. Google's Tensor Processing Units, the custom AI chips built for Google's▲+2.10% — Google, up 2.10 percent today own cloud, will run inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from calendar 2027, the first time they have ever been sold into another company's data center↗ ¹².

Cerebras, whose flagship processor is a single chip the size of a whole silicon wafer rather than one cut from it, follows in the same year ³. SambaNova'sPVT$11B — SambaNova, private, latest valuation $11B SN50 racks and a deepened Nvidia▲+0.84% — Nvidia, up 0.84 percent today commitment complete the set ⁴⁵.

Oracle pays for both sides of the fight

The money behind the morning is Oracle's own. The company maintained a capital-spending target of about $90 billion to $95 billion for the fiscal year ending May 2027, and said on its earnings call last month that customers increasingly foot the bill for the chips↗ ⁶.

Nvidia, the supplier being hedged, booked $96.2 billion of revenue in the quarter ended July 26, 2026↗ ⁷ and has said roughly half its revenue comes from hyperscalers such as Oracle ¹. Oracle's free cash flow ran at negative $5.4 billion last quarter, on $28.5 billion of capital spending ⁸.

The hedge renews the dependency

The same morning deepened what it hedged. Nvidia and Oracle will expand Vera Rubin, Nvidia's newest generation of AI servers, to multi-gigawatt scale↗ ⁵, and Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has said each gigawatt can mean up to $40 billion of revenue for his company ⁶.

OpenAIPVT$500B — OpenAI, private, latest valuation $500B has trained and served GPT-6 Astra on an OCI Supercluster of more than 100,000 Blackwell GPUs in Abilene, Texas ⁵. One carve-out: Oracle's Nvidia systems will skip some Nvidia networking chips in favor of Oracle's in-house Acceleron ⁶. Oracle is financing Nvidia's challengers out of the same capital-spending plan that buys Nvidia.

The market paid on Tuesday for 2027 revenue

Cerebras▲+10.22% — Cerebras, up 10.22 percent today traded up about 9.5 percent and Oracle about 4 percent ¹. The Cerebras deal discloses no volumes and books no revenue until calendar 2027↗ ³⁹, and analyst consensus compiled by Bloomberg↗ has the company under $1 billion of sales this year, tripling to almost $3 billion next ⁹. Oracle, still down about 31 percent this year, grew cloud-infrastructure revenue 121 percent last quarter, with remaining performance obligations at $664 billion ¹⁰.

"That's a massive expansion of our customer base of tier-one customers," Cerebras chief executive Andrew Feldman told Reuters, which notes that Nvidia dominates training while inference, the work of answering live requests, is the more open market, where Cerebras and Intel▲+3.45% — Intel, up 3.45 percent today-backed SambaNova compete ⁶.

The questions the morning left open

For Nvidia holders, two questions no announcement answered: whether the Acceleron carve-out spreads, and whether Google sells TPUs into any other cloud. Oracle, which plans to hold an investor day this week ⁶, did not say how it will finance the chip purchases ⁶. The signal to watch: whether OCI names paying customers for the TPU capacity before the 2027 ramp ¹⁰.
