Oracle is accelerating AI adoption through significant investments in its data-centric infrastructure, particularly across Europe. With a focus on security, sovereignty, and sustainability, Oracle is building an adaptable cloud ecosystem. This strategy, highlighted by executive vice president Richard Smith, emphasizes deep collaborations, such as with Nvidia, to deliver robust AI solutions while addressing critical concerns like workforce transformation and efficient resource utilization for a truly collaborative future.

Deep Cogito has launched Cogito v2, a new collection of open-source AI models that significantly enhance their own reasoning capabilities. Utilizing a method called Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA), these models, including a powerful 671B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) version, learn to internalize their thought processes. This innovation leads to more efficient and intuitive reasoning, with chains 60% shorter than competitors and surprising emergent abilities like image interpretation, all developed with remarkable cost-efficiency, highlighting the potential of open-source AI to rival proprietary systems.

Google DeepMind has introduced Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, an advanced AI reasoning model capable of simultaneously exploring and evaluating multiple ideas to arrive at optimal solutions. This multi-agent system, now available to Ultra subscribers, signifies a leap in AI problem-solving, having already demonstrated superior performance in complex tasks like the International Math Olympiad. The innovation aims to enhance creative and strategic planning, potentially accelerating various research fields.
