Microsoft and Oracle have announced a multi-year agreement on a cloud collaboration for AI inferencing. The Redmond tech titan will essentially rent some cloud computing capacity from the database giant, providing Bing’s AI conversational engine with a much-needed power increase.
According to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure senior vice president Karan Batta, generative AI is a monumental technological leap, and Bing is at the forefront of the modern AI business. Bing’s conversational search engine requires “powerful clusters of computing infrastructure” to evaluate search results through OpenAI’s technology, a process traditionally known as inferencing.
