Oracle has selected OpenAI’s GPT-5 to integrate across its database suite and SaaS applications—including Fusion Cloud, NetSuite, and industry-specific tools like Oracle Health—aiming to embed advanced coding and reasoning capabilities directly into business-critical workflows, the company announced in a press release.
Oracle noted in its statement that GPT-5 is “OpenAI’s smartest, fastest, and most useful model yet.”
“Designed specifically for code generation, editing, and debugging, GPT-5 also brings advanced agentic capabilities and sophisticated reasoning to enterprise contexts,” the company said. It added that the integration will help customers improve multi-step reasoning and process orchestration, speed up code generation, bug resolution, and documentation, and deliver greater accuracy and depth in business insights and recommendations.

“The combination of the industry-leading AI data capabilities of Oracle Database 23ai and GPT-5 will help enterprises achieve breakthrough insights, innovation, and productivity,” said Kris Rice, senior vice president of Database Software Development at Oracle. “Oracle AI Vector and Select AI, together with GPT-5, enable easier and more effective data search and analysis.”
“Oracle’s SQLcl MCP Server enables GPT-5 to easily access data in Oracle Database. These capabilities enable users to search across all their data, run secure AI-powered operations, and use generative AI directly from SQL—helping to unlock the full potential of AI on enterprise data.”
Meeten Bhavsar, senior vice president of Applications Development at Oracle said “GPT-5 will bring our Fusion Applications customers OpenAI’s sophisticated reasoning and deep-thinking capabilities. The newest model from OpenAI will be able to power more complex AI agent-driven processes with capabilities that enable advanced automation, higher productivity, and faster decision making.”
Oracle has previously partnered with OpenAI as part of the Stargate initiative. Stargate is a $500 billion AI infrastructure project led by OpenAI and Oracle in participation with SoftBank Group and other partners to set up giant data centers across the U.S. that can fuel the next wave of AI advancements. Recently, OpenAI announced it would rent an additional 4.5 gigawatts of data center power from Oracle, worth $30 billion, as part of this initiative.

Last week, Oracle and Google Cloud expanded their partnership, bringing Google’s most advanced AI models, starting with Gemini 2.5 into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) Generative AI service. This integration allows Oracle customers to build AI agents for multimodal tasks such as advanced coding, productivity automation, and research directly within their Oracle environments. Oracle will also extend access to Google’s full Gemini suite through Vertex AI, covering video, image, speech, music generation, and industry-specific solutions like MedLM. The company also plans to embed Gemini into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to enhance workflows across finance, HR, supply chain, sales, service, and marketing.
GPT-5 is OpenAI’s newest AI model. It had been greatly hyped-up before its release, with CEO Sam Altman claiming it is “the best model in the world,” and that it represented a “significant step” along the company’s path to developing AI that can outperform humans at most economically valuable work — that is, artificial general intelligence (AGI). The reception however, was a lot more mixed with several users comparing it unfavorably to GPT-4o.
