OpenAI has announced its plan to acquire Ona, a provider of secure, persistent cloud environments. The acquisition will integrate Ona's infrastructure into OpenAI's Codex platform, enabling developers to run long-lived AI agents. These agents will be capable of executing multi-step enterprise workflows without losing state. The move expands Codex from a code-generation tool into a hosted environment for autonomous task execution. It aims to provide secure, stateful execution contexts that persist across sessions. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
OpenAI announced a partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enabling enterprises to access OpenAI's models and Codex directly via their existing Oracle cloud commitments. This integration allows organizations to build and deploy AI applications with OCI's enterprise security and governance controls. The service provides a new distribution channel for OpenAI's API, complementing existing access through Microsoft Azure and the OpenAI platform. Customers can now utilize GPT models and Codex for natural language processing and code generation within the Oracle Cloud environment.
