Organizations benefit from a fully managed RAG
service with support for Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search
without manual integration
OCI Generative AI now provides access to
Meta's Llama 3.1 models in addition to Cohere Command R and Command
R+ models
LAS
VEGAS, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
CloudWorld -- Oracle today announced the general
availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI
(GenAI) Agents with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
capabilities and enhanced Oracle AI innovations that help
customers turn their data into a competitive advantage by making it
easier to apply AI to real-world business operations.
The first of a series of OCI GenAI Agents, the RAG Agent
provides out-of-the-box RAG capabilities, enabling customers to get
started while avoiding manual processes such as agent planning,
retrieval, reranking, generation, and integration. It also provides
a self-check to reduce hallucinations, enabling customers to adopt
RAG technologies to streamline their business processes without
spending cycles on research and development. OCI GenAI Agents
enable customers to access Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search
and run fast similarity queries on enterprise data stored in the
database. For customers who have a subscription to Oracle Database
23ai on OCI, the GenAI Agents service adds an automation layer to
execute RAG and similarity search functions without having to move
data to a separate vector database.
For organizations looking for open source solutions for their
generative AI workloads, OCI GenAI Agents service also supports OCI
Search with OpenSearch.
"AI is driving breakthroughs and efficiencies at an
unprecedented pace, leading to new business models, applications,
and innovation across industries," said Greg Pavlik, executive vice president, AI and
Data Management Services, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With the
OCI Generative AI Agents service, Oracle Database 23ai customers on
OCI can subscribe to a fully managed RAG service that enables
them to talk to their data. It's AI designed for companies
looking to put AI into their real-world production environments
quickly—by bringing AI to their data."
Key use cases for OCI GenAI Agents include:
- Call center optimization: Helps operators increase
customer satisfaction through more accurate responses and a higher
volume of query resolution.
- Expedite legal research: Helps researchers find answers
faster by conversing with AI rather than manually searching court
record databases.
- Revenue intelligence: Helps finance teams understand
customer purchase history and trends by asking natural language
questions instead of running reports.
- Recruit qualified job candidates: Helps recruiters
source potential new hires more easily by typing in natural
language rather than constructing a database query.
To provide versatile and accessible AI solutions for developers
and business users, Oracle is also introducing AI innovations to
the following:
- OCI Generative AI: Helps users seamlessly integrate
versatile language models into a wide range of use cases, including
writing assistance, summarization, analysis, and chat. To enable
customers to harness the latest open source AI technology, OCI
Generative AI now provides access to Meta's Llama 3.1 models in
sizes ranging from 405 billion parameters for AI use cases that
require state-of-the-art capabilities to 70 billion parameters for
more targeted workloads at a lower price. In addition, OCI
Generative AI supports the Cohere Command R, Command R+, and Embed
models.
- OCI Data Science: Helps teams of data scientists access
open source tools to build, train, deploy, and manage AI models.
OCI Data Science provides several new updates to the no-code AI
Quick Actions feature, including OCI Ampere A1 shape support and
the ability to bring any model from Hugging Face into OCI Data
Science with just a few clicks.
- OCI Language: Helps developers perform sophisticated
text analysis and machine translation at scale. New multilingual
models are designed to seamlessly support over 100 languages, while
a new Protected Health Information (PHI) feature extends the
current Personally Identifying Information (PII) service to detect
PHI entities and redact them from textual data.
- OCI Document Understanding: Helps developers automate
manual business processing tasks with pre-built AI models. With
newly trained models for the healthcare field, developers are able
to identify and extract important data on medical identification
cards while increasing efficiency and reducing manual errors.
- OCI Vision: Helps developers analyze videos
frame-by-frame to identify objects, labels, text, and faces. It
provides data about detection timestamps and bounding box
coordinates for objects to support use cases, including digital
asset management, visual anomaly detection, safety and
surveillance, and ad tracking and placement.
- OCI Speech: Helps users transcribe speech to text and
synthesizes speech from text with natural voices and a new
real-time transcription capability that includes custom
vocabularies support.
- Oracle Code Assist: Will help developers boost
velocity by providing intelligent suggestions to help them build
and optimize applications written in modern programming languages,
including Java, Python, JavaScript, SuiteScript, Rust, Ruby, Go,
PL/SQL, C#, and C.
