This is for GCP. Google themselves probably still trains on custom hardware but they don't offer their latest and greatest hardware on GCP.

Offering more options to customers is always better especially when Nvidia has great market share in this area. This is probably the reason why Microsoft is trying to help AMD catch up so their is more competition. AI GPU prices are insane compared to standard GPU because of the lack of competition.

It doesn't seems to be true.

There were articles that Microsoft was helping AMD, but the denied it.
