Tech giants Microsoft, Oracle, and OpenAI have joined forces to extend the Microsoft Azure AI platform to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This collaboration aims to increase OpenAI’s capacity which serves over 100 million users every month.
“We are delighted to be working with Microsoft and Oracle.OCI will expand Azure’s capabilities, facilitating OpenAI’s ongoing scalability,” stated Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO.
Larry Ellison, Oracle’s Chairman and CTO, echoed the sentiment, stating, “The race to build the world’s greatest large language model is on, and it is fueling unlimited demand for Oracle’s Gen2 AI infrastructure.”
OCI’s leading AI infrastructure is advancing AI innovation globally. OpenAI will join thousands of AI innovators across industries that run their AI workloads on OCI AI infrastructure. Companies like Adept, Modal, MosaicML, NVIDIA, Reka, Suno, Together AI, Twelve Labs, and xAI utilize OCI Supercluster to train next-generation AI models.
OCI’s AI features enable startups and enterprises to develop and train models more quickly using Oracle’s distributed cloud infrastructure. For training large language models (LLMs), OCI Supercluster can scale up to 64k NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs or GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips connected by ultra-low-latency RDMA cluster networking and a choice of HPC storage.
OCI Compute virtual machines and OCI’s bare metal NVIDIA GPU instances can power applications for generative AI, computer vision, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and more.
In a related report, Microsoft announced improvements to its Recall feature, a critical part of its AI-branded PCs, amid concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Initially set to be enabled by default, the Recall utility will now be disabled, requiring users to opt-in during setup.
