Oracle unveiled details about its partnership with artificial intelligence provider Cohere at its Oracle Cloud World conference in Las Vegas Sept. 18. Executives said Cohere will train, build, and deploy large-language models on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service. This will let contractors and other users run analyses of their projects without having to call upon their own data scientists, as user data can be directly imported or exported from Oracle’s cloud through the language-based AI. Cohere’s services will also be integrated into Oracle’s portfolio of cloud applications including Fusion and NetSuite.
“The analogy is: Microsoft is to OpenAI and ChatGPT as Oracle is to Cohere,” explained Josh Kanner, senior director of product and strategy for Analytics and AI at Oracle Construction and Engineering. “Oracle invested in Cohere and now has access to their generative AI product, which allows us to build our own industry-tuned private and secure generative AI models, these large-language models.”
