Oracle announced the general availability of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI service along with new innovations that make it easier for enterprises to take advantage of the latest advancements in generative AI. OCI Generative AI service is a fully managed service that seamlessly integrates large language models (LLMs) from Cohere and Meta Llama 2 to address a wide range of business use cases. OCI Generative AI service now includes multilingual capabilities that support over 100 languages, an improved GPU cluster management experience, and flexible fine-tuning options. Customers can use OCI Generative AI service in the Oracle Cloud and on-premises via OCI Dedicated Region.
Greg Pavlik, senior vice president, AI and Data Management, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said, “Oracle’s AI focus is on solving real-world business use cases to enable widespread adoption in the enterprise. To do this, we are embedding AI across all layers of the technology stack by integrating generative AI into our applications and converged database, and offering new LLMs and managed services—all supported by a fast and cost-effective AI infrastructure. Instead of providing a tool kit that requires assembling, we are offering a powerful suite of pre-built generative AI services and features that work together to help customers solve business problems smarter and faster.”
The initial beta release supports OCI OpenSearch. Upcoming releases will support a wider range of data search and aggregation tools and provide access to Oracle Database 23c with AI Vector Search and MySQL HeatWave with Vector Store. Oracle will also deliver prebuilt agent-actions across its suite of SaaS applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite, Oracle NetSuite, and industry applications such as Oracle Health.
To help customers build, train, deploy, and manage LLMs with open-source libraries such as Hugging Face’s Transformers or PyTorch, Oracle is also expanding the capabilities of OCI Data Science. The new OCI Data Science AI Quick Actions feature, which will be in beta next month, enables no-code access to a variety of open-source LLMs, including leading providers such as Meta or Mistral AI.
