Home » Emerging technologies » Artificial Intelligence » xAI Selects Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Grok AI Models
xAI has announced its selection of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to offer its Grok AI models through Oracle's Generative AI service. The collaboration targets a wide range of applications, including content creation, research, and business process automation.
The company revealed that it will use OCI's scalable, high-performance, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure to train and run inferencing for its next-generation Grok models. Jimmy Ba, co-founder of xAI, said Grok 3 marks a significant leap forward in AI capabilities. He added that Oracle's advanced data platform will accelerate the impact of Grok 3 on enterprises.
Founded in March 2023, xAI is known for pushing the boundaries of AI innovation. Its latest model, Grok 3, features enhanced reasoning through large-scale reinforcement learning. It also demonstrates strong performance in mathematics, coding, and universal understanding.
To ensure robust data governance, management, and security, xAI models will utilize OCI's enterprise-grade capabilities. Oracle reported that all data sent to Grok models is processed on zero data retention endpoints, providing an additional layer of protection.
Greg Pavlik, executive vice president of AI and Data Management Services at OCI, stated that the partnership expands AI possibilities for enterprise customers. He emphasized Oracle's commitment to delivering advanced AI solutions that offer greater flexibility and choice in deployment.
Oracle brings leading AI technology close to enterprise data, prioritizing security, adaptability, and scalability. This enables organizations across various industries to apply generative and agentic AI to relevant business scenarios for immediate benefits. Thousands of AI innovators already leverage OCI's cost-effective, purpose-built AI infrastructure for demanding workloads.
OCI's bare metal GPU instances support applications such as generative AI, natural language processing, computer vision, and recommendation systems.
Windstream, a telecommunications service provider, is exploring the use of xAI's multimodal models through OCI. Kaushik Bhanderi, senior vice president at Windstream, noted the potential advantages of integrating Grok models via OCI's Generative AI service to enhance language comprehension and reasoning, aiming to improve workflows and empower employees.
Key points: xAI partners with Oracle to deliver Grok AI models via OCI Generative AI service.
OCI provides scalable, secure infrastructure with zero data retention for AI workloads.
Windstream explores Grok models to improve telecommunications workflows.

Apple weighs the value of AI-designed hardware
Apple is interested in utilising generative AI to help speed up the design of the custom chips at the heart of its devices. Johny Srouji, Apple's Senior Vice President of hardware technologies, made the remarks at a recent speech in Belgium. In the speech Srouji outlined Apple's development of custom chips from the first A4 chip in an iPhone in 2010 to the most recent chips that power Mac desktop computers and the Vision Pro headset. He said one of the key lessons Apple learned was that it needed to use the most cutting-edge tools available to design its chips, including the latest chip design software from electronic design automation (EDA) firms. 'EDA companies are super critical in supporting our chip design complexities', Srouji said in his remarks. 'Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost'. Srouji said another key lesson Apple learned in designing its own chips was to make big bets and not look back. Source: Reuters Image Credit: Stock Image/Apple

Apple eyes using AI to design its chips, technology executive says
SAN FRANCISCO: Apple is interested in tapping generative artificial intelligence to help speed up the design of the custom chips at the heart of its devices, its top hardware technology executive said in private remarks last month. Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies, made the remarks in a speech in Belgium, where he was receiving an award from Imec, an independent semiconductor research and development group that works closely with most of the world's biggest chipmakers. In the speech, a recording of which was reviewed by Reuters, Srouji outlined Apple's development of custom chips from the first A4 chip in an iPhone in 2010 to the most recent chips that power Mac desktop computers and the Vision Pro headset. He said one of the key lessons Apple learned was that it needed to use the most cutting-edge tools available to design its chips, including the latest chip design software from electronic design automation (EDA) firms. The two biggest players in that industry - Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys - have been racing to add artificial intelligence to their offerings. "EDA companies are super critical in supporting our chip design complexities," Srouji said in his remarks. "Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost." Srouji said another key lesson Apple learned in designing its own chips was to make big bets and not look back. When Apple transitioned its Mac computers - its oldest active product line - from Intel's chips to its own chips in 2020, it made no contingency plans in case the switch did not work. "Moving the Mac to Apple Silicon was a huge bet for us. There was no backup plan, no split-the lineup plan, so we went all in, including a monumental software effort," Srouji said.
