Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Powering the Next Wave of Enterprise AI
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping businesses across every industry, from automating customer interactions to uncovering insights in data. Oracle, known for its enterprise software and databases, has quickly become a major force in AI infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers high-performance computing, GPU acceleration, and enterprise-grade AI services, making it a compelling choice for organizations looking to modernize and scale AI capabilities.
Oracle’s investments in AI infrastructure, partnerships, and cloud services are helping customers accelerate innovation, reduce cost, and build AI applications that meet strict requirements for security and performance. The blog below explores how OCI is enabling organizations to succeed with artificial intelligence.
High-Performance AI Infrastructure at Scale
Oracle has engineered OCI to support some of the most demanding AI workloads in the world. At the heart of its infrastructure are GPU superclusters capable of scaling to over 130,000 NVIDIA GPUs in a single deployment. The performance levels achieved by OCI rival those of dedicated supercomputing environments.
Organizations benefit from:
- Bare-metal access to NVIDIA and AMD GPUs
- Ultrafast networking with microsecond latency
- Flat-rate, globally consistent pricing
- On-demand scalability without overprovisioning
By removing bottlenecks in storage and networking, Oracle allows teams to train and deploy large-scale AI models faster and more efficiently. OCI pricing is often lower than other hyperscalers, enabling better return on AI investments.
Generative AI, Cohere Partnership, and Enterprise Readiness
Oracle has partnered with Cohere to bring powerful large language models (LLMs) to OCI. Customers can access these models through Oracle’s managed Generative AI services. The partnership enables secure, high-performance access to language generation, summarization, and semantic search capabilities.
Organizations can fine-tune Cohere’s models using their own data within a secure environment. Each customer has an isolated instance of the model, eliminating risks of data leakage or model contamination across tenants.
“OCI provides the best supercomputing on the face of the planet, plus the database that dramatically improves accuracy and provides an intuitive way to search and understand our models.” – Aidan Gomez, CEO of Cohere
The models are already embedded into Oracle’s Fusion Applications, powering dozens of generative AI use cases for ERP, HCM, and supply chain workflows. Enterprises gain access to AI capabilities without needing to build models from scratch.
Pre-Built AI Services for Faster Development
OCI includes a comprehensive suite of prebuilt AI services designed to help teams deploy AI quickly without managing infrastructure or training models.
Key services include:
- OCI Vision: Detects objects, extracts text from images, and classifies documents
- OCI Language: Performs sentiment analysis, entity extraction, translation, and classification
- OCI Speech: Converts speech to text and vice versa
- Oracle Digital Assistant: Enables natural language conversations with enterprise systems
- OCI Generative AI: Provides access to large language models for business content generation
Each service includes ready-to-use models and can also be customized with your own data. These services integrate with Oracle applications and infrastructure, making AI adoption more efficient across lines of business.
Full Lifecycle Support for AI and Machine Learning
Oracle provides a complete ecosystem for developing, training, and deploying machine learning models. Data scientists and developers can work in OCI Data Science, a collaborative environment that supports Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and other popular ML frameworks.
Advantages include:
- Notebook-based development environments
- Built-in AutoML and model evaluation tools
- Easy integration with Oracle databases, data lakes, and storage
- Scalable compute instances for training large models
- Flexible deployment options, including on-premise, hybrid, or OCI public cloud
Oracle’s emphasis on security and governance ensures that AI workloads meet enterprise and regulatory requirements. Customers retain full control of their data, and models are deployed with isolation and encryption by default.
Tangible Business Benefits for Enterprise AI
Organizations choosing OCI for AI workloads benefit in several key ways:
- Lower total cost of ownership: OCI offers better price-performance for GPU compute and storage. Savings grow as workloads scale.
- Faster time to value: Prebuilt models and APIs accelerate prototyping and deployment, reducing project timelines from months to weeks or days.
- Improved security and compliance: Enterprise-grade governance ensures AI workloads can run in regulated industries without sacrificing innovation.
- Flexibility and scale: Customers can scale from small proof-of-concept projects to large-scale production AI workloads without changing platforms.
- Expert support: Oracle provides architectural guidance and engineering support to help customers optimize deployments.
Startups and enterprise clients alike are choosing OCI for AI development. Organizations such as Cohere, Modal, Suno, and Twelve Labs have migrated their training environments to Oracle to leverage its performance and scalability.
Final Thoughts
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has evolved into a powerful foundation for enterprise AI. From GPU superclusters to generative AI APIs, OCI provides the tools needed to accelerate development and reduce complexity. Oracle’s focus on enterprise security, transparent pricing, and integrated AI services positions OCI as a trusted platform for organizations modernizing with artificial intelligence.
