Google and Oracle partner to bring Gemini AI to Oracle Cloud customers

Oracle

and Alphabet's

Google Cloud

have announced a new partnership wherein Google's

Gemini AI

models will be made available through Oracle's

cloud services

. This collaboration will allow software developers to use Google's AI models for generating text, video, images and audio directly on the Oracle Cloud infrastructure.“Oracle and Google Cloud have expanded their partnership to offer customers access to Google’s most advanced AI models, starting with Gemini 2.5, via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

Generative AI

service. Oracle customers can now utilize the latest Gemini models to build

AI agents

for a wide range of use cases including multimodal understanding, advanced coding and software development tasks, productivity and workflow automation, and research and knowledge retrieval,” Oracle said in a statement.

Oracle also offers AI models by Elon Musk’s xAI

The latest deal is similar to a recent agreement Oracle made with Elon Musk's xAI. It provides Oracle's customers—including those using its applications for finance, HR and supply chain management—with the flexibility to integrate Google's AI models into their existing systems.“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,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud.

A key benefit for Oracle's business customers is the payment process: they can pay for the Google AI technologies using their existing Oracle cloud credits. The financial details of the partnership between Oracle and Google were not disclosed.For Oracle, this move strengthens its strategy of offering a variety of AI options to its clients, giving them more choice rather than a single proprietary solution. “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,” said Clay Magouyrk, president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
