Oracle and Google Cloud Strike Deal to Offer Gemini AI Models on Oracle's Platform

Oracle, Google cloud units strike deal for Oracle to sell Gemini models

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Oracle (ORCL.N), opens new tab and Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab said on Thursday their cloud computing units have struck a deal to offer Google's Gemini artificial intelligence models through Oracle's cloud computing services and business applications. The deal, similar to one that Oracle struck with Elon Musk's xAI in June, will let software developers tap Google's models to generate text, video, images and audio while using Oracle's cloud. Businesses that use Oracle's various applications for corporate finances, human resources and supply chain planning will also be able to choose to use Google's models inside those apps. Those Oracle customers will be able to pay for the Google AI technologies using the same system of Oracle cloud credits they use to pay for Oracle services. The two companies did not disclose what, if any, payments will flow between them as part of the deal. For Oracle, the move advances the company's strategy of offering a menu of AI options to its customers rather than trying to push its own technology. For Google, it represents another step in its effort to expand the reach of its cloud offerings and win corporate customers away from rivals such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab.

Oracle can now sell Gemini models following major Google Cloud deal

Further models, including specialized ones like MedLM, will also be added Oracle and Google Cloud have announced a deal to make Google's Gemini models available via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (OCI) Generative AI service. Oracle confirmed the service would kick off offering Gemini 2.5, but the company would continue to add further models for text, image, video, speech and music generation as well as specialized models like MedLM for healthcare. The company explained 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 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 will continue to run on Google's servers, they can be accessed through Oracle's cloud platform with customers paying with Oracle Universal Credits, but the benefits of this partnership will be twofold. For Oracle, it means the company can expand its offering of models, including third-party options, rather than pushing its own in-house models, making it more attractive for broader audiences. With the deal, Google can also expand its enterprise reach, getting Gemini models into more hands. "Oracle has been intentional in offering model choice curated for the enterprise, spanning open and proprietary models," OCI President Clay Magouyrk explained. The news comes around two months after Oracle struck a similar deal to make xAI's Grok models available to customers, and while many hyperscale cloud providers are battling it out to secure exclusive or preferential AI model partnerships (like Microsoft with OpenAI and AWS with Anthropic), Oracle's multi-vendor strategy could give it a more stable position in the future.

The offering will results from an expanded partnership between Oracle and Google Cloud, the companies said in a Thursday (Aug. 14) press release. The lineup of Google's Gemini models available in the Oracle environment will begin with Gemini 2.5 and is expected to expand to include the entire range of Gemini models, according to the release. With this collaboration, Oracle customers will be able to access the models to build AI agents for tasks like multimodal understanding, advanced coding and software development, productivity and workflow automation, and research and knowledge retrieval, the release said. In the future, the companies will work together to make Gemini models via Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform available within Oracle Fusion Cloud applications, per the release. "Today, leading enterprises are using Gemini to power AI agents across a range of use cases and industries," Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said in the release. "Now, Oracle customers can access our leading models from within their Oracle environments, making it even easier for them to begin deploying powerful AI agents that can support developers, streamline data integration tasks, and much more." Clay Magouyrk, president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said in the release that Oracle "has been intentional in offering model choice curated for the enterprise." "The availability of Gemini on OCI Generative AI service highlights our focus on delivering powerful, secure and cost-effective AI solutions that help customers drive innovation and achieve their business goals," Magouyrk said. Oracle announced another partnership in June, saying that xAI's Grok models are now available on the OCI Generative AI service. Oracle said the Grok AI models are available for a wide range of use cases, including content creation, research and business process automation. Miranda Nash, group vice president at Oracle AI, told PYMNTS in March that the company sees AI agents becoming the primary interaction layer between users and enterprise software, eliminating the need for complex interfaces. "Let's stop adapting ourselves to computers and make them adapt to use," Nash said.
