Oracle's HeatWave GenAI now offers in-database LLMs and an automated vector store, enabling generative AI applications without AI expertise or additional costs.
Oracle has announced the general availability of HeatWave GenAI, which includes the industry’s first in-database large language models (LLMs) and an automated in-database vector store. This development allows customers to build generative AI applications without needing AI expertise, data movement, or additional costs, according to oracle.com.
HeatWave GenAI is now available across all Oracle Cloud regions, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Dedicated Region, and other clouds at no extra cost to HeatWave customers. This new offering provides the ability to create a vector store for enterprise unstructured content with a single SQL command, using built-in embedding models. Users can perform natural language searches in one step using either in-database or external LLMs, enhancing performance and data security while reducing application complexity.
HeatWave GenAI introduces several innovative features:
HeatWave GenAI has demonstrated significant performance advantages. Creating a vector store for documents in various formats is up to 23 times faster with HeatWave GenAI and a quarter of the cost compared to using Knowledge base for Amazon Bedrock. Benchmarks show HeatWave GenAI is 30 times faster than Snowflake and costs 25% less, 15 times faster than Databricks and costs 85% less, and 18 times faster than Google BigQuery and costs 60% less. Additionally, HeatWave similarity search processing is up to 80 times faster than Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with pgvector, providing accurate results with predictable response times.
Vijay Sundhar, CEO of SmarterD, highlighted the ease of leveraging generative AI with HeatWave GenAI, noting the significant reduction in application complexity and costs. Safarath Shafi, CEO of EatEasy, emphasized the differentiation provided by HeatWave’s support for in-database LLMs and vector stores, enabling new capabilities and improved performance for their customers. Analysts, including Holger Mueller of Constellation Research, praised HeatWave’s integrated approach to generative AI, noting its cost-effectiveness and performance advantages.
HeatWave is the only cloud service offering automated and integrated generative AI and machine learning for transactions and lakehouse-scale analytics. It is available on OCI, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure via Oracle Interconnect for Azure, and in customer data centers with OCI Dedicated Region and Oracle Alloy.
