Fireworks AI, Hedra, Numenta, and Soniox
experience accelerated performance and cost efficiency with Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AI
innovators across the world are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
(OCI) AI infrastructure and OCI Supercluster to train AI
models and deploy AI inference and applications. Fireworks AI,
Hedra, Numenta, Soniox, and hundreds of other leading AI innovators
have selected OCI for its scalability, performance, cost
efficiency, choice of compute instances, and control over where to
run their AI workloads.
As industries rapidly adopt AI to help drive innovation and
efficiency, the AI companies that are providing these services
require reliable, secure, and highly available cloud and AI
infrastructure that enables them to quickly and economically scale
out GPU instances. With OCI AI infrastructure, AI companies gain
access to high-performance GPU clusters and the scalable computing
power needed for AI training, AI inference, digital twins, and
massively parallel HPC applications.
"Among AI innovators, OCI has rapidly become the destination of
choice for training and inferencing needs of all sizes," said
Chris Gandolfo, executive vice
president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and AI. "OCI AI
infrastructure delivers ultra high-speed networking, optimized
storage, and cutting-edge GPUs that AI companies rely on to power
the next wave of innovation."
Global AI Innovators Choose Oracle
Fireworks AI is an inference platform that empowers
developers and businesses to build highly optimized and
production-ready generative AI applications, serving over 100
state-of-the-art open models in text, image, audio, embedding, and
multi-modal formats. Fireworks AI uses OCI Compute bare metal
instances accelerated by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and OCI Compute
with AMD MI300X GPUs to help it serve over two
trillion inference tokens daily on its platform and scale its
services globally.
"Developers rely on Fireworks AI to integrate generative AI into
their products, optimized for latency, throughput and cost per
token," said Lin Qiao, co-founder
and CEO, Fireworks AI. "With OCI AI infrastructure, we can deliver
the ultra-fast response times and production-grade stability that
developers expect. We're able to process AI workloads efficiently,
minimize downtime, and help ensure AI applications run smoothly at
scale so that our customers can focus on innovation without
worrying about the underlying infrastructure."
Hedra, an AI-driven video creation company, enables users to
create videos with life-like characters. By deploying its
multimodal foundation models for generative image, video, and audio
on OCI Compute bare metal instances accelerated by NVIDIA Hopper
GPUs, Hedra reduced its GPU
costs, experienced faster training speeds, and reduced
its model iteration time.
"Creating expressive character videos at scale requires immense
computational power and efficient multimodal processing," said
Michael Lingelbach, founder and CEO,
Hedra. "OCI handles our model training and inferencing across
video, audio, and image data, while providing the rapid processing
required for real-time character rendering and meeting the high
storage demands of large datasets. This enabled us to release our
latest model, Character-3, and content creation platform, Hedra
Studio, quickly and without a hitch."
Numenta is an AI technology company focused on maximizing
the performance and efficiency of deep learning systems. By using
OCI Compute bare metal instances accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs,
Numenta gained access to a range of reliable and high-performance
training instances, achieving faster training speeds and increased
cycles of learning.
"OCI provides the high-performance infrastructure and strong
operational support we need to push the boundaries of AI without
compromising speed or accuracy," said Dan
Steere, CEO, Numenta. "With OCI, we've been able to
confidently accelerate the development of our next-generation
technology, taking significant steps forward in Efficient
Intelligence™."
Soniox, an AI company at the forefront of audio and speech AI,
pioneers foundational AI models for audio, speech, and language
comprehension. With its new universal multilingual speech AI model
hosted on OCI, Soniox uses OCI Compute bare metal instances
accelerated by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs to train its model to
seamlessly recognize and understand speech across 60 languages in
real-time with low latency and higher accuracy.
"A high-performance infrastructure that provides improved
accuracy, speed, and cost efficiency was top-of-mind when selecting
a cloud provider to support our growth," said Klemen Simonic,
founder and CEO, Soniox. "OCI gives us access to the latest AI
innovations that allow us to push the boundaries of speech
recognition and audio understanding while significantly reducing
deployment time and operational costs."
