OpenAI, the research and development company behind ChatGPT, has chosen Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to expand the capacity of Microsoft Azure’s AI platform. This strategic collaboration between Oracle, Microsoft, and OpenAI will provide additional capacity for OpenAI’s generative AI services, which are used by over 100 million users each month.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed his excitement about this partnership: “We are thrilled to be working with Microsoft and Oracle. OCI will expand the Azure platform and allow OpenAI to continue scaling.”
Larry Ellison, Chairman and CTO of Oracle, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in the context of the growing demand for AI infrastructure. “The race to build the world’s most advanced language model is on and is fueling an unlimited demand for Oracle’s Gen2 AI infrastructure. Leaders like OpenAI are choosing OCI because it is the fastest and most cost-effective AI infrastructure in the world.”
Innovation in AI with OCI
OCI’s AI infrastructure is driving innovation in artificial intelligence. OpenAI will join thousands of AI innovators from around the world running their AI workloads on OCI’s AI infrastructure. Companies like Adept, Modal, MosaicML, NVIDIA, Reka, Suno, Together AI, Twelve Labs, xAI, and others are using OCI’s Supercluster to train and infer next-generation AI models.
OCI’s specifically designed AI capabilities allow startups and large enterprises to build and train models faster and more reliably anywhere on Oracle’s distributed cloud. For training large language models (LLM), OCI’s Supercluster can scale up to 64,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs or Superchips GB200 Grace Blackwell, connected by an ultra-low latency RDMA cluster network and a variety of HPC storage options. OCI’s compute VMs and NVIDIA bare metal GPU instances can power applications for generative AI, computer vision, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and more.
This collaboration promises to significantly advance OpenAI’s ability to deliver innovative and scalable AI services, solidifying Oracle and Microsoft as key partners in the evolution of artificial intelligence.
