- Oracle adds Gemini to OCI starting with Gemini 2.5
- Additional models, including specialized as withlm, also added
- OCI recently signed a similar deal as to add XAI’s GROK
Oracle and Google Cloud have announced an appointment to make Google’s Gemini models available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) generative AI service.
Oracle confirmed that the service would start by offering Gemini 2.5, but the company would continue to add additional models to text, image, video, speech and music generation as well as specialized models such as Healthcare Medlm.
The company explained that customers would now be able to use Gemini models – among others – to help them build their own AI agents for coding, automation, research and more.
Oracle Cloud now offers Gemini models
“Oracle plans to make Google’s entire range of Gemini models available via OCI -Generative AI Service through new integrations with Vertex AI,” Oracle added.
Although the models continue to run on Google’s servers, they can be accessed via Oracle’s cloud platform with customers paying with Oracle Universal Credits, but the benefits of this partnership will be two -part.
For Oracle, this means that the company can expand its offer of models, including third -party options, rather than pushing its own internal models, making it more attractive to wider audiences. With the agreement, Google can also expand its business reach and get Gemini models in multiple hands.
“Oracle has been intentional to offer model Choice curated for the company that spans open and proprietary models,” explained OCI president Clay Magouyrk.
The news comes about two months after Oracle entered into a similar deal as making Xai’s GROK models available to customers, and while many hyperscale cloud providers are struggling to ensure exclusive or preferential AI modeling partnership (such as Microsoft with Openai and AWS with anthropic), Oracle’s multi-other strategy could provide a more stable position in the future.
