Google Cloud adds OpenAI GPT-6 models alongside Gemini and Claude

GPT-6 Astra (hardest tasks), GPT-6.1 Sol (cheaper, similar performance) and GPT-6 Luna (fast, low-cost) are in private preview on Google Cloud as of Oct 21. Google says customer data is not used for training.

Benchmarks are the company's own; not independently verified.

Why it matters

Buyers can compare three model families under one contract, so single-vendor positioning gets harder to defend.
