Is it really gcp hosting openai in their cloud? Afaik is a third party marketplace so it looks like you're buying openai saas via gcp but not hosted in gcp. That's key difference with azure specially for egress costs if your data leaves gcp to openai right?

Yes but does it's not clear for me. It could be just a private interconnect to openai infrastructure. My guess is that is not hosted in gcp... That's why I'm asking

Only a GCP rep can give you an authoritative answer; but in my experience hyper scalers don’t promote services that not hosted on their platform .
