Oracle has recently unveiled its OCI Generative AI service, which is now available on a limited basis. This service enables users to incorporate large language models (LLMs) into their own applications using APIs. With the introduction of Generative AI, Oracle aims to help organizations automate their business processes, enhance decision-making, and improve customer experiences.
The company emphasizes the importance of security and privacy while simultaneously ensuring cost efficiency and performance. Clay Magouyrk, the executive VP of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, assures that their partnership with Cohere allows customers to seamlessly and securely integrate generative AI into their technology stack, conforming to the strictest data security and privacy requirements.
OCI Generative AI service primarily focuses on three key areas: text generation from user prompts, summarizing large volumes of text, and facilitating the translation of text into numerical vectors for models to comprehend. Additionally, the service offers retrieval augmented generation (RAG), a novel generative AI technique that merges LLMs and proprietary business data to provide more accurate responses.
Martin Kon, President and COO of Cohere, expresses excitement about collaborating closely with Oracle to empower enterprises with AI capabilities. A Wikibon senior analyst, cited in the press release, praises OCI Generative AI as the first of its kind to address the market’s demands for enterprise-level security, flexibility, and user tuning.
Customers of OCI Generative AI service will operate their workloads on Oracle’s AI Supercluster architecture, which effectively manages cost and throughput requirements. Moreover, this service forms the foundation for GenAI functionalities across Oracle’s suite of software-as-a-service applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite, Oracle NetSuite, and Oracle Cerner.
With the launch of OCI Generative AI service, Oracle is positioning itself as a leading provider of generative AI solutions. This service’s capabilities and offerings, combined with the company’s commitment to security and privacy, are expected to attract businesses looking to automate processes, make informed decisions, and enhance customer satisfaction.
