Oracle and Google Cloud have formed a strategic partnership that allows Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to offer Google's Gemini AI models through its Generative AI service. Initially launching with Gemini 2.5, the offering will expand to include models for text, image, video, speech, music generation, and specialized applications such as MedLM for healthcare. These models will remain hosted on Google's infrastructure but can be accessed via Oracle using Oracle Universal Credits. This collaboration enables Oracle to broaden its AI offerings with more third-party model options, making its platform more versatile for enterprise customers building AI agents for various uses like coding, automation, and research. In return, Google gains wider enterprise exposure for its Gemini models. OCI President Clay Magouyrk highlighted Oracle's goal to provide a diverse set of AI models suited for business needs. This follows Oracle's previous deal with xAI to offer Grok models and distinguishes Oracle's multi-vendor strategy from rivals like Microsoft and AWS, potentially positioning it more securely in the competitive AI cloud market.

Google's chief scientist walks: Jeff Dean leaves after 27 years, taking three legends with him

Jeff Dean, Google's chief scientist and 30th employee, is leaving after 27 years to found Discovery Loop, a public benefit corporation using AI to automate scientific research - taking co-founders Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le (Google Brain), and Oriol Vinyals (DeepMind) with him. Google is a founding investor and cloud partner, supplying compute for at least the first year, with Radical Ventures and Khosla Ventures co-leading the seed. In the same announcement, Demis Hassabis steps down as DeepMind CEO to become chairman and Alphabet chief scientist, with Koray Kavukcuoglu taking over Gemini model development. Alphabet stock fell about 4%.

Texas slams the brakes on data centres - and the AI buildout's easiest frontier just closed

Governor Greg Abbott announced that all new Texas data-centre projects must be audited by the Public Utility Commission and grid operator ERCOT - a sharp turn for a state whose loose regulation and cheap power made it second only to Virginia for data centres. The trigger is a staggering queue: ERCOT's interconnection requests doubled from 233GW in January to 474GW, about 90% data centres, more than five times the grid's all-time peak demand. Audits will demand power and water use, noise mitigation, light controls, tax-incentive use, and ownership details - after a voluntary survey that most operators simply ignored.

Anthropic signs a $10B, six-year compute deal with a startup that didn't exist last year

Anthropic has reportedly signed a $10 billion, six-year compute deal with Volta, an AI cloud startup founded only earlier this year, per Bloomberg. Volta is partnering with crypto-mining firm Bitdeer to develop the data centre - located in Norway, delivering 133 megawatts, and running Nvidia's Vera Rubin architecture - and is a member of Nvidia's Cloud Partner programme. It caps an aggressive capacity spree that also includes recent compute deals with SpaceX and Amazon, as Anthropic races rivals for the scarcest input in the industry.
