Oracle CloudWorld Tour 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. OCIGenerative 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. 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 Metalama 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. 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.
