Overview

  • The partnership, announced on August 14, integrates Google’s Gemini AI models into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and its suite of enterprise applications.
  • Gemini’s multimodal capabilities—text, images, video, and audio—will be accessible directly through Oracle’s platform for developers and businesses.
  • Customers will use Oracle’s existing cloud credit system to pay for Gemini services, avoiding separate billing processes.
  • The deal builds on Oracle’s multivendor AI strategy following its June xAI partnership and supports Google Cloud’s push to compete with Microsoft Azure.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, and industry sources report unspecified job cuts in Oracle’s cloud infrastructure unit in the US and India.
