Blackstone, KKR in Talks With Google to Bring AI Models to Portfolio Firms

Blackstone Inc. and KKR & Co. are in talks with Alphabet Inc. to give the companies they own access to Google’s artificial intelligence models, according to people familiar with the matter.

The talks come as OpenAI and Anthropic PBC are each partnering with alternative asset managers to form AI consultancies that will turn private equity-backed firms into a new revenue source for AI companies.
