Oracle AI
AI services on Oracle Cloud spanning generative models, vision, language, speech, and document understanding with Free Tier access and pay as you go units for production.
Overview
Oracle AI provides pretrained document, vision, language, and speech services alongside OCI Generative AI endpoints for chat, embeddings, and hosted partner models. Teams start with Free Tier services and trials, then scale to token based or AI unit pricing for production. Governance follows OCI conventions, including customer managed keys, private endpoints, audit logs, and regional residency so workloads can stay in region.
Integration with Oracle Database, Fusion apps, and Data Science lets builders ground assistants on enterprise data and orchestrate training pipelines, while Generative AI Agents add tools for knowledge bases and retrieval. Typical use cases include invoice extraction to ERP, contact center summarization, multilingual classification, and domain assistants that cite private documents. Organizations choose Oracle AI to colocate compute and data, reuse Universal Credits, and standardize on a multi model catalog that now includes third party providers.
Pricing varies by model and region but is published per token or per AI unit on OCI pages, enabling predictable cost controls for pilots and scaled deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free way to try Oracle AI?
Yes Free Tier services and time limited trials are available so teams can evaluate before committing to production spend.
What does production pricing look like?
Pricing is per token or per AI unit and varies by model and region, confirm current rates on OCI price list and model pages.
Can we keep data in region?
Yes OCI lets you choose regions and networking so data stays within residency boundaries managed by your tenancy.
Does Oracle host third party models?
Yes partner models including Meta and Google Gemini are accessible as regions support them through the model catalog.
How do we ground results on our data?
Use Agents with knowledge bases and RAG patterns to cite documents stored in Object Storage and databases.
Is fine tuning available?
Options vary per model with adapters and tuning supported on select endpoints in specific regions, check docs.
How is security handled?
Customer managed keys private networking and audit logging align to OCI governance for enterprise compliance.
Is there an SLA for production?
Enterprise support and SLAs are available via Oracle support plans and OCI service commitments for eligible tiers
