Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers will get access to Google Cloud's Gemini models in a new partnership between the companies.
Google Cloud and Oracle said they have expanded a partnership to give customers access to the latest Gemini models, including Gemini 2.5, via the OCI Generative AI service. Oracle added that it will made a wide range of Google Cloud models available within its Fusion cloud applications.
Oracle has been offering more models including xAI's Grok. Oracle said it will provide a new integration with Google Cloud's Vertex AI to tap into the Gemini models as well as industry models such as MedLM.
In a post, Oracle said the initial model rollout will include Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro and Gemini Nano.
According to Oracle, OCI customers can use existing Oracle Universal Credits to apply to the Gemini models. OCI customers currently have access to models from Cohere, Meta Llama and xAI.
Oracle's cloud, AI plans are a master class in co-opetition
Google Cloud and Oracle forged a partnership last year to offer Oracle Database@Google Cloud along with deals with Microsoft Azure and AWS. That Oracle Database@Google Cloud has scaled into 2025.
Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research, said:
"This is an important triple win. It's a huge win for OCI customers as they get access to the leading multimodal LLM with Gemini, a win for Oracle as they can show they are becoming the 'Switzerland' for LLMs and for Google as it gets more mileage for Gemini. Key questions remain as where the training can happen, where the data will reside and more but this is a big win for OCI customers."
