and on-premises

DUBAI, UAE and AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle CloudWorld Tour --
Oracle today 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.
"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," said Greg Pavlik, senior vice president, AI and Data
Management, Oracle Cloud 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."
Simplifying the customization of generative AI models
To help customers address business issues focused on text
generation, summarization, and semantic similarity tasks, the
latest models from Cohere and Meta Llama 2 will be available in a
managed service that can be consumed via API calls. In addition,
customers will be able to embed generative AI easily and securely
into their technology stack, with tight data security and
governance.
Customers may further refine these models using their own data
with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques, so the models
will understand their unique internal operations. Now in beta, OCI
Generative AI Agents service with a RAG agent combines the
power of LLMs and enterprise search built on OCI OpenSearch to
provide contextualized results that are enhanced with enterprise
data. This agent enables users to converse with diverse enterprise
data sources through natural language without the need for
specialist skills. The information retrieved is current—even with
dynamic data stores—and the results are provided with references to
the original source data.
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.
"With today's news, Oracle is bringing generative AI to customer
workloads and their data—not asking customers to move their data to
a separate vector database," said Ritu
Jyoti, group vice president, Worldwide Artificial
Intelligence and Automation Research Practice and Global AI
Research Lead, IDC. "With a common architecture for generative AI
that is being integrated across the Oracle ecosystem from its
Autonomous Database to Fusion SaaS applications, Oracle is
bringing generative AI to where exabytes of customer data already
reside, both in cloud data centers and on-premises environments.
This greatly simplifies the process for organizations to deploy
generative AI with their existing business operations."
Embedding generative AI across every layer of the Oracle
stack
Oracle's leading AI infrastructure and comprehensive portfolio
of cloud applications creates a powerful combination for customer
trust. By integrating generative AI across its portfolio of cloud
applications—including ERP, HCM, SCM, and CX—Oracle enables
customers to take advantage of the latest innovations within their
existing business processes. In addition, Oracle is embedding
generative AI capabilities into its database portfolio to enable
customers to build their own AI-powered applications. With
Autonomous Database Select AI, customers can accelerate application
development or create new business solutions by combining their
private enterprise data with the productivity and creativity of
generative AI.
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.
