Global AI Innovators Turn To Oracle For Training And Inferencing Solutions

Global AI Innovators Turn to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Enhanced Performance and Cost Efficiency

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of innovation across industries. From generative AI applications to advanced speech recognition systems, AI companies are redefining what’s possible. However, these groundbreaking advancements require robust, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure to support their growing computational demands. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has emerged as a leading choice for AI innovators worldwide, offering unparalleled performance, flexibility, and control over AI workloads.

Leading AI companies such as Fireworks AI, Hedra, Numenta, and Soniox have turned to OCI for its cutting-edge AI infrastructure and OCI Supercluster, which enable them to train complex models, deploy AI-driven applications, and achieve significant cost savings. These organizations, alongside hundreds of other AI innovators, leverage OCI’s high-performance GPU clusters, optimized storage, and ultra-high-speed networking to power their operations efficiently and economically.

“OCI has quickly become the go-to destination for AI innovators seeking reliable and scalable solutions for training and inferencing,” said Chris Gandolfo, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and AI. “Our AI infrastructure combines state-of-the-art GPUs, optimized storage, and advanced networking capabilities, empowering companies to drive the next wave of AI innovation.”

Fireworks AI: Accelerating Generative AI Applications

Fireworks AI is a leading inference platform that enables developers and businesses to build highly optimized, production-ready generative AI applications. The platform supports over 100 state-of-the-art open models across text, image, audio, embedding, and multi-modal formats. To meet the demands of serving over two trillion inference tokens daily, Fireworks AI relies on OCI Compute bare metal instances powered by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and AMD MI300X GPUs.

“Developers trust Fireworks AI to deliver generative AI solutions that are optimized for latency, throughput, and cost per token,” said Lin Qiao, Co-Founder and CEO of Fireworks AI. “OCI’s AI infrastructure ensures ultra-fast response times and production-grade stability, allowing us to process AI workloads efficiently and minimize downtime. This enables our customers to focus on innovation without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.”

By leveraging OCI’s scalable computing power, Fireworks AI has successfully expanded its services globally, providing seamless and reliable AI solutions to its growing user base.

Hedra: Revolutionizing Video Creation with AI

Hedra, an AI-driven video creation company, empowers users to generate videos featuring lifelike characters. The company’s multimodal foundation models for generative image, video, and audio are deployed on OCI Compute bare metal instances accelerated by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. This setup has allowed Hedra to reduce GPU costs, accelerate training speeds, and shorten model iteration times significantly.

“Creating expressive character videos at scale requires immense computational power and efficient multimodal processing,” said Michael Lingelbach, Founder and CEO of Hedra. “OCI handles our model training and inferencing needs across video, audio, and image data, while delivering rapid processing for real-time character rendering and managing large datasets. Thanks to OCI, we were able to release our latest model, Character-3, and launch Hedra Studio quickly and seamlessly.”

OCI’s ability to handle complex AI workloads has been instrumental in helping Hedra push the boundaries of video creation technology.

Numenta: Advancing Deep Learning Systems

Numenta, an AI technology company focused on maximizing the performance and efficiency of deep learning systems, relies on OCI Compute bare metal instances accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs. By leveraging OCI’s high-performance infrastructure, Numenta has achieved faster training speeds and increased cycles of learning, enabling the company to develop its next-generation Efficient IntelligenceTM technology.

“OCI provides the high-performance infrastructure and operational support we need to push the boundaries of AI without compromising speed or accuracy,” said Dan Steere, CEO of Numenta. “With OCI, we’ve been able to accelerate the development of our innovative technologies, taking significant steps forward in advancing deep learning systems.”

OCI’s reliable and flexible infrastructure has been critical in helping Numenta achieve breakthroughs in AI efficiency and performance.

Soniox: Pioneering Multilingual Speech AI

Soniox, a leader in audio and speech AI, develops foundational AI models for audio, speech, and language comprehension. The company’s new universal multilingual speech AI model, hosted on OCI, leverages OCI Compute bare metal instances powered by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs. This infrastructure enables Soniox to train its model to recognize and understand speech across 60 languages in real-time, with low latency and high accuracy.

“A high-performance infrastructure that delivers improved accuracy, speed, and cost efficiency was essential when selecting a cloud provider,” said Klemen Simonic, Founder and CEO of Soniox. “OCI gives us access to the latest AI innovations, allowing us to push the boundaries of speech recognition and audio understanding while reducing deployment time and operational costs.”

OCI’s advanced capabilities have empowered Soniox to achieve new milestones in multilingual speech AI, enhancing its position as a pioneer in the field.

Why OCI Stands Out

The success stories of Fireworks AI, Hedra, Numenta, and Soniox highlight OCI’s unique strengths in supporting AI workloads. OCI offers a wide range of compute instances, including bare metal options with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, ensuring flexibility and scalability for diverse AI use cases. Additionally, OCI’s ultra-high-speed networking and optimized storage solutions provide the foundation for handling massive datasets and complex computations.

As industries continue to adopt AI to drive innovation and efficiency, the demand for reliable and high-performance cloud infrastructure will only grow. OCI’s ability to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and secure solutions positions it as a preferred partner for AI innovators worldwide.
