Oracle & Google Cloud boost AI with Gemini model access
Oracle and Google Cloud have expanded their partnership to provide Oracle customers with direct access to Google's Gemini AI models through the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI service.
The collaboration gives Oracle customers the ability to leverage Gemini 2.5 and its upcoming model family for enterprise-grade applications, including advanced coding, workflow automation, and domain-specific solutions such as MedLM for healthcare.
Expanded AI offerings
Through the integration, enterprises will have the opportunity to use Gemini's multimodal capabilities, enabling applications that can handle text, code, and industry-specific tasks. Oracle plans further integrations with Google Cloud's Vertex AI, which will make the entire Gemini model suite - including video, image, speech, and music generation - accessible within Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications across various departments such as finance, HR, supply chain, sales, service, and marketing.
Oracle customers will also be able to deploy Gemini models using their existing Oracle Universal Credits, potentially simplifying adoption and controlling costs.
Use cases and industry impact
Gemini models are designed to provide accuracy and performance for enterprise use cases, partly due to their grounding in up-to-date Google Search data, large context windows, and data privacy features. The models can be used for knowledge retrieval, productivity tools, advanced software development, and sector-specific solutions.
Specialised industry models like MedLM for healthcare are among the offerings expected for future integration. The presence of these models within existing Oracle platforms aims to streamline the adoption of AI across industries, supporting teams in tasks that range from automating business processes to building AI-powered agents.
Customer access and integration
With the expanded partnership, Oracle states customers will have more flexibility and choice over the models they use. As future integrations are developed, customers will be able to select from a range of Gemini models via Vertex AI, directly within Oracle's cloud applications ecosystem. "Today, leading enterprises are using Gemini to power AI agents across a range of use cases and industries," said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. "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."
Google's Gemini models have been cited for their enterprise suitability due to features such as encryption, privacy controls, and reasoning abilities.
Clay Magouyrk, President, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, stated, "Oracle has been intentional in offering model choice curated for the enterprise, spanning open and proprietary models. 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."
Performance and scalability
Oracle continues to position its infrastructure as a foundation for running intensive AI workloads. According to the companies, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers specialised, cost-effective GPU instances suitable for applications in generative AI, natural language processing, computer vision, and recommender systems.
The collaboration is described as a means for customers to apply generative and agentic AI to business needs, with a focus on meeting enterprise requirements for security, adaptability, and performance.
Through this partnership, both companies aim to facilitate the deployment of multimodal and AI agent technologies in a broad range of enterprise scenarios.
