OUR TAKE With technological advancements and the development of distributed computing platforms, enterprises can choose to deploy different phases of AI workloads where their needs are best suited and cost-effective. This strategy not only optimises the use of resources, but also helps reduce operating costs and improve overall efficiency, giving businesses flexibility and a competitive advantage in a competitive market. –Revel Cheng, BTW reporter OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said OCI would enable OpenAI to continue to scale, running some of its workloads on that infrastructure.

Analysis
Last Tuesday, Oracle, Microsoft, and OpenAl announced a partnership that extends Microsoft’s Azure Al to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to give OpenAI more capacity. Oracle also announced a partnership with Google Cloud to combine OCI and Google Cloud tech to accelerate app modernisation and migrations. According to the statement on the partnership with Google Cloud, the agreement is meant to offer, among other resources, Oracle’s database and applications in tandem with Google Cloud’s platform and AI. Sid Nag, vice president in the technology and service provider group at Gartner, says Oracle’s partnership with Google, comparable to a prior arrangement with Microsoft Azure, will let workloads in the Google environment communicate with Oracle’s database if needed. “It kind of promotes the whole notion of multicloud,” he says. “A lot of cloud providers talk about multicloud, but they don’t really put their money where their mouth is. This is an example where they are actually doing something about it.”
Key Points
- The race for capacity, fueled by AI’s ascension, could lead to more bartering agreements in the cloud.
- In a pair of deals announced last week, Oracle wove its cloud infrastructure even more into growing services from OpenAI and Google Cloud.
Actions
Pending intelligence enrichment.
