Oracle will raise $10 billion through new shares and another $10 billion through bonds to finance investments in AI infrastructure, ongoing operations, capital expenditures and dividends. The company expects strong growth from AI in the coming years, which it says should be self‑sustaining from fiscal 2028/29 without further capital raises.

Oracle unveiled Fusion Companion and Fusion Agentic Home at Oracle AI World, allowing employees to express business objectives in natural language and coordinate the necessary transactions, workflows and approvals.

Oracle integrates models from OpenAI and Google Gemini, maintains existing identity and approval rules, and logs decisions and authorities via Outcome Receipt. Parts of the features are already available, others will follow; billing is by AI Units (list price $0.01 per unit) and SaaS customers receive a monthly quota. » Mere på heise.de
