AUSTIN, Texas - xAI has chosen Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), whose stock has surged over 51% in the past year, to deliver its Grok models through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) Generative AI service, according to a press release issued Tuesday. The partnership will enable customers to use Grok models for content creation, research, and business process automation. In addition to making Grok available through OCI, xAI will utilize Oracle’s AI infrastructure to train and run inferencing for its next-generation models. The company’s latest offering, Grok 3, features enhanced reasoning capabilities developed through large-scale reinforcement learning. "Grok 3 represents a leap forward in AI capabilities and Oracle’s advanced data platform will accelerate its impact on enterprises," said Jimmy Ba, co-founder of xAI, in the statement.

The partnership aims to combine xAI’s models with Oracle’s enterprise-grade data governance, management, and security capabilities. According to InvestingPro data, Oracle maintains a strong position in the software industry, with 12 analysts recently revising their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period.
