\n Oracle plans to add those chips alongside new Nvidia hardware and OpenAI services as businesses await AI payoffs\n <\/p>\n

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) customers will soon have a raft of new choices. Big Red is hosting an event in Las Vegas this week to inject more air into the AI bubble explain its latest AI investments, and front and center of those efforts are an expanded partnership with OpenAI<\/a> and plans to diversify its chip offerings beyond Nvidia by bringing<\/a> Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to OCI.<\/p>\n

Oracle says its deal to add Google TPUs to OCI will make it the first hyperscale cloud platform outside Google’s own cloud services to offer the chips. Those chips will be available for selection within OCI beginning in 2027, with capacity increasing over the course of several years.<\/p>\n

While not mentioning the quantity of Google TPUs that will be available next year or beyond, it does seem that Oracle is attempting to diversify away from being so heavily reliant on Nvidia, with whom it has inked deals worth tens of billions<\/a> of dollars to outfit its datacenters, including the reportedly troubled<\/a> Texas project it\u2019s planning with the GPU maker and OpenAI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDifferent AI workloads have different compute needs,\u201d said OCI president Mahesh Thiagarajan. \u201cBringing Google TPUs to OCI gives customers \u2026 the flexibility to choose the right infrastructure for the performance, throughput, and economics of each AI workload.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oracle isn’t moving away from its partnership with OpenAI, either, announcing new ChatGPT integrations on Tuesday alongside two products that incorporate models from the House of Altman.<\/p>\n

The first<\/a> of those, Oracle AI Workspace, is billed as a \u201csingle user experience that brings OpenAI frontier models together with Oracle applications, enterprise data, and cloud services\u201d through ChatGPT plugins that basically turn Oracle\u2019s existing business platforms into ChatGPT-accessible resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Oracle AI Workspace will make the breadth of Oracle\u2019s capabilities agent-ready and accessible to ChatGPT users,\u201d the company explained. \u201cPeople can describe business goals and these plugins in ChatGPT will bring together the right Oracle tools and information to help them accomplish it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with giving OpenAI-powered tools access to selected business data, Oracle is hoping customers will also trust the models to help handle cybersecurity with the second<\/a> new product, Oracle AI Security Mesh, “a managed platform that combines frontier AI models for cybersecurity \u2026 with Oracle’s proven security expertise.”<\/p>\n

As you might assume from its name and description, Oracle AI Security Mesh will use OpenAI cybersecurity models to find vulnerabilities, test whether they can be exploited, and recommend fixes in areas of a company’s tech stack that it authorizes the Oracle-managed service to examine.<\/p>\n

Oracle also announced<\/a> a deal with Snowflake<\/a> to bring its AI data cloud to OCI as a native service. The new partnership will allow Oracle customers to purchase and use Snowflake directly from Oracle, which will handle all pricing, discounts, and billing. Oracle Universal Credits will also be usable through Snowflake on OCI, allowing users who already spend money on Oracle credits to use them for the newly available offering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nvidia not exempt from announcements<\/p>\n

Oracle may be diversifying its OCI chip offerings, but it still announced<\/a> new Nvidia hardware in Las Vegas, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Big Red announced the general availability of Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72<\/a> systems and Nvidia Vera CPUs on Tuesday, along with plans to introduce HGX Rubin NVL8 systems, though it did not specify when those would become available.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs with Oracle Acceleron networking and AI-optimized data centers, we\u2019re helping customers keep GPUs productive, secure, and scale efficiently as their needs grow,\u201d Thiagarajan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oracle posted record earnings<\/a> in the quarter ending August 31, with revenue up 30 percent year over year as its AI investments have begun to pay dividends. Those dividends appear to be paying off for other AI firms as well, though there’s little evidence of similar returns outside the tech sector<\/a>, raising fresh concerns about an AI bubble that’s starting to look a bit taut.<\/p>\n

There are already signs that the AI bubble has begun to burst in China<\/a>, and Oracle\u2019s Las Vegas announcements largely involve more circular spending among AI\u2019s top players as businesses continue to wait for results<\/a>. \u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ai and ml Oracle plans to add those chips alongside new Nvidia hardware and OpenAI services as businesses…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-816215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
