Oracle declared that it has extended its partnership with Microsoft for several years to facilitate the expansion of Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) offerings.

As per the agreement, Microsoft would leverage the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Supercluster, a supercomputing training and inferencing service backed by Nvidia GPUs that was announced in March, in conjunction with its own Azure infrastructure for AI.

Superclusters may accommodate tens of thousands of Nvidia H100 or A100 GPUs in a single cluster and offer networking, HPC storage, and OCI Compute bare metal instances.

Oracle’s generative AI strategy starts with the OCI Supercluster service, which is targeted at businesses like Cohere and Hugging Face that are creating large language models (LLMs) to assist their end customers.

The companies jointly released a statement claiming that by combining the OCI Supercluster with Azure AI, Microsoft would be able to infer AI models that are continuously refined to power Bing conversational searches every day.

“Generative AI is a significant technological advancement,” said Karan Batta, SVP of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, “and Oracle is enabling Microsoft and numerous other businesses to build and operate new products using our OCI AI capabilities.” We can provide more people worldwide with new experiences by growing our partnership with Microsoft.”

OCI Compute is being orchestrated by Microsoft utilizing Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

Microsoft’s global head of marketing for Search & AI, Divya Kumar, stated: “Microsoft Bing is leveraging the most recent developments in AI to provide a significantly enhanced search experience for users across the globe. We will increase consumer access and improve the speed of many of our search results through our partnership with Oracle and use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in conjunction with our Microsoft Azure AI infrastructure.”

Oracle and Microsoft expanded their collaboration in September when Oracle moved its database software and hardware, including Oracle Exadata, inside Microsoft Azure data centers. This allowed customers to directly access Oracle database services that were hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) through Azure.
