Read MoreHide Full Article

Oracle (ORCL - Free Report) announced that it has been selected by MosaicML to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) model training capabilities. MosaicML is utilizing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (“OCI”) high-performance AI framework to achieve faster performance and cost savings compared with other cloud providers.

MosaicML has experienced up to 50% faster performance in training AI models by utilizing OCI's infrastructure. This improved speed is crucial when dealing with massive amounts of data and complex models.

MosaicML has reported cost savings of up to 80% compared with other cloud providers. This cost efficiency is essential for organizations looking to make the most of their resources when training AI models.

OCI offers various capabilities for AI, including GPU instances for computer vision, natural language processing and recommendation systems. For training large models, OCI provides ultra-low latency cluster networking, HPC storage and compute instances powered by NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) GPUs.

OCI's architecture and network design are optimized for AI workloads. The bandwidth on NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs provided by OCI surpasses alternatives by a significant margin, leading to reduced time and cost for machine learning training.

Through OCI, MosaicML gains access to the latest NVIDIA GPUs, enabling them to harness cutting-edge hardware for efficient AI model training.

The combination of MosaicML and OCI has attracted AI companies looking to run generative AI models due to the platform's ability to achieve faster and more economical model training compared with other providers.

Startups like Twelve Labs are benefiting from MosaicML's platform running on OCI. Twelve Labs has been able to efficiently scale and deploy AI models for multimodal video understanding, which has led to significant time and cost savings.

Advancements in AI to Aid Oracle’s Top Line

Oracle is providing free Cloud and AI training worldwide to support career growth in high-demand areas like artificial intelligence and machine learning. The initiative aims to meet the increasing demand for Oracle Cloud services by offering free instruction and certification testing.
