Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI are developing at ever-increasing rates, alarming many commentators because it is so hard now to tell fact from fiction.

Those two options fall short of the number of models offered by other hyperscalers, which have taken a mall approach to models, but the way Oracle is deploying the generative AI service may appeal to enterprises.
