Oracle Cloud Partners with xAI to Offer Grok 3 Model to Enterprise Customers

Oracle cloud to add xAI's Grok 3 model to lineup for corporate customers

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17 (Reuters) - Oracle (ORCL.N), opens new tab said on Tuesday that its cloud computing division is working with Elon Musk's artificial intelligence firm xAI to offer the startup's latest AI model to business customers. Grok 3, as the model is called, first came out February and aimed to rival the latest offerings from DeepSeek and OpenAI. Musk made the model available to paying subscribers of his X social media platform, as well as through xAI itself. Oracle will now offer Grok 3 from its data centers to corporate users who want to use the model but need their data to remain under their existing security protections with Oracle, Karan Batta, senior vice president at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, told Reuters on Monday. Oracle also offers models from Meta, French startup Mistral and Cohere on the service, part of its overall strategy of providing versions of popular models in a way that businesses can integrate into corporate software. "Our goal here is to make sure that we can provide a portfolio of models - we don't have our own," Batta said. "That's the current strategy. We are going to be the one that offers all of them."

xAI Brings Grok Models to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | AIM

xAI has selected Oracle to support the training and deployment of its latest Grok models, including Grok 3. xAI's Grok models are now available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which allows customers to use the models through OCI's generative AI service for tasks such as content generation, research, and business process automation. The announcement, made on June 17, confirms that xAI has selected Oracle to support the training and deployment of its latest Grok models, including Grok 3. xAI will use OCI's AI infrastructure to benefit from its scalability, performance, and cost efficiency. "Grok 3 represents a leap forward in AI capabilities, and Oracle's advanced data platform will accelerate its impact on enterprises," Jimmy Ba, co-founder at xAI, said in a statement. "This collaboration between xAI and Oracle is set to redefine enterprise-grade AI." Oracle said that Grok models will run on OCI Compute instances and benefit from the platform's price-performance and scalability. Data sent by Oracle to Grok models will be processed on zero data retention endpoints. "By bringing xAI's cutting-edge Grok models to our customers, we are expanding the possibilities of AI in the enterprise," Greg Pavlik, executive vice president, AI and data management services at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said in a statement. "This partnership underscores our commitment to providing the most advanced AI solutions, giving organisations greater choice and flexibility in deploying the latest AI technologies." Founded in March 2023, xAI focuses on building AI systems capable of advanced reasoning. Grok 3 is trained using large-scale reinforcement learning and performs well in mathematics, coding, and language tasks. The models are integrated with OCI's enterprise-grade governance and security capabilities. Windstream, a telecommunications provider, is exploring the use of xAI's multimodal models via OCI. "In the fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications, there's no shortage of ways AI can benefit our business," Kaushik Bhanderi, senior vice president at Windstream, said. "We think there could be real advantages to leveraging Grok models via OCI Generative AI service, integrating language comprehension and reasoning to propose meaningful actions." Oracle said its infrastructure supports generative AI, agentic AI, natural language processing, and computer vision. Thousands of AI companies are using OCI's bare metal GPU instances to run intensive AI workloads.

The integration allows businesses to harness Grok's capabilities, ranging from content creation and research to complex business process automation, using Oracle's high-performance, scalable AI infrastructure. xAI will also use OCI to train and run inferencing for its next-generation Grok models, including the recently launched Grok 3. "Grok 3 represents a leap forward in AI capabilities, and Oracle's advanced data platform will accelerate its impact on enterprises," said Jimmy Ba, co-founder of xAI. "This collaboration between xAI and Oracle is set to redefine enterprise-grade AI." Grok 3 supported by supported by OCI's enterprise-grade infrastructure Founded in 2023, xAI has emerged as a leading player in artificial intelligence, with Grok 3 demonstrating strong performance in reasoning, mathematics, coding, and cross-domain understanding. The models are trained using large-scale reinforcement learning and are supported by OCI's enterprise-grade infrastructure, which prioritises data governance, management, and zero data retention processing for enhanced security. "By bringing xAI's cutting-edge Grok models to our customers, we are expanding the possibilities of AI in the enterprise," said Greg Pavlik, EVP of AI and Data Management Services at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "This partnership underscores our commitment to offering organisations greater flexibility and access to the most advanced AI technologies." Oracle's AI infrastructure -- including bare metal GPU instances -- supports a broad range of demanding AI workloads such as generative AI, computer vision, and recommendation engines. Thousands of enterprises are already deploying Oracle's AI offerings to drive innovation and boost productivity.
