Nvidia’s recent reshaping of its cloud strategy — pivoting DGX Cloud toward a partner-driven marketplace called DGX Cloud Lepton while repurposing portions of its owned fleet for internal R&D — has set off a debate: did that move effectively hand a competitive edge to hyperscalers (Amazon Web...
Oracle’s sudden emergence as a credible AI cloud contender has shifted the conversation: a company long defined by databases is now pitching a bold, capital‑intensive roadmap that — if every assumption holds — could place Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) among the industry’s leaders for AI...

Oracle’s recent AI wins are not just marketing copy — they’re reshaping how the company pitches cloud to enterprise buyers and investors, and they demand a sober re-evaluation of where Oracle sits in the cloud pecking order against Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud...
Oracle’s latest quarter didn’t just surprise the market — it rewrote the playbook for what a legacy enterprise software company can become in an AI-first world.
Background
For two decades Oracle was best known as a database and enterprise-software stalwart slowly adapting to a cloud-first...

Microsoft’s Office 365 product line is poised for a material AI shift: sources say Redmond will begin routing certain Copilot and Office features to Anthropic’s Claude models — notably the Sonnet 4 family — alongside continued use of OpenAI and Microsoft’s own models, a move that reflects both...
