More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure releases
Every Oracle Cloud Infrastructure releaseSign and verify model artifact signatures
OCI Data Science now offers model artifact signature and integrity verification. You can create a signature for a model artifact using an OCI Vault key and associate that signature with a model deployment. When creating a model deployment, select an available signature for the model artifact.
Monitor Storage Cache Hit Metrics
You can now monitor storage cache read-hit and write-hit metrics. These metrics show the percentage of database input and output requests served from the storage cache for read and write operations, helping you assess cache effectiveness. See Available Metrics: oci_autonomous_database for more information.
ID-JAG token exchange across trust domains
Identity and Access Management now supports Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant (ID-JAG) token exchange. An ID-JAG is a short-lived, signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that enables identity handoff across trust domains. A source identity domain exchanges an ID token for an ID-JAG.
Support for Kubernetes version 1.37.0 in a preview release of Kubernetes Engine
A preview release of OCI Kubernetes Engine now provides support for Kubernetes version 1.37.0 for early access testing and validation purposes. This preview release is not intended for production workloads, is only available in the OC1 realm, and might contain issues without known workarounds.
Use OAuth resource indicators with identity domains
Identity domains now support OAuth resource indicators. In a token request, an OAuth client can use the resource parameter to identify the target resource server and the required scope parameter to request permissions. The requested scopes must be allowed for the client and belong to the selected resource server.
Automatic Target Registration for Exadata Exascale in Oracle Data Safe
You can enable automatic target registration for an Exadata Exascale (ExaDB-XS) deployment at the CDB level instead of configuring each PDB individually. Oracle Data Safe then automatically registers all existing and future PDBs in the background and manages the required Data Safe service account and privileges.
Console AI Availability
Console AI is available to commercial OCI customers who are homed or subscribed in one of the following regions and have native access to Console AI: Ashburn Phoenix London Chicago Sao Paulo Osaka Hyderabad Riyadh Availability will expand over time.
Improve Iceberg External Table Query Performance with Partition Pruning
Autonomous AI Database can now use Apache Iceberg partition information to optimize queries on Iceberg external tables. Autonomous AI Database uses the Iceberg metadata to skip files that are not needed for a query.
Also shipped on Oct 13, 2026
Oracle in October 2026What's included:
- Three training methods: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) , direct preference optimization (DPO) , and reinforcement learning with group relative policy optimization (GRPO) . Each method trains a low-rank adapter (LoRA) or the full model weights. Custom loss functions : Train with any objective you compute in PyTorch from the model's log-probabilities.
The AI.AGG function is generally available (GA)
The AI.AGG function is generally available (GA). You can use this function to semantically aggregate unstructured input data based on natural language instructions.
BigQuery generative AI functions now support the gemini-4-argon model
BigQuery generative AI functions now support the gemini-4-argon model. This model is generally available .
Gemini 4 Argon in CodeMender (Preview)
CodeMender now supports Gemini 4 Argon. To use it, pass --model gemini-4-argon to cm find , cm verify , or cm fix . Gemini 3.8 Flash remains the default model. For more information, see Specifying the model .
Gemini 4 Argon and Gemini 4 Argon Cyber Permissive
Gemini 4 Argon ( gemini-4-argon ) is available in General Availability (GA) . Gemini 4 Argon is Google's frontier model that excels at deep work in complex, real-world tasks across domains including coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity, and science.
On-demand state repartitioning is now generally available
On-demand state repartitioning is now generally available. You can resize the number of shuffle partitions for a stateful Structured Streaming query or Lakeflow pipeline without losing checkpoint state. See On-demand state repartitioning for stateful streaming queries .
