Oracle will sell OpenAI and Snowflake via its own channel

Oracle will sell OpenAI and Snowflake through its own channel. Oracle applications will come into ChatGPT, US customers can buy OpenAI with Oracle credits, and Snowflake will become a service Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) sells and bills directly. This comes from same-day announcements by OpenAI and Snowflake. OpenAI's October 27 announcement says Oracle is developing Oracle AI Workspace to bring data and workflows from Fusion and other Oracle applications into ChatGPT. Oracle is launching three new products built on OpenAI models, for security, small and midsize businesses, and developers. US Oracle customers can use existing Oracle Universal Credits, a prepaid credit, to buy the OpenAI API, Codex and ChatGPT Work on Oracle Marketplace (OpenAI, 2026-10-27). The same day, Snowflake announced that Snowflake on OCI will become a service OCI sells and bills directly, with customers contracting with Oracle and billed by OCI. The whole announcement is framed as planned and carries a forward-looking statements disclaimer (Snowflake, 2026-10-27). Neither announcement says when any of this launches, and neither gives amounts or how revenue is shared. How we checked →

Concept illustration: on a pale sheet laid over a sage-green background, two laptops sit at the top, each with a small tag hanging from it; the left one shows a spreadsheet grid behind a block lettered SNOWFLAKE, and the right one shows a speech bubble behind a block lettered OPENAI. One dashed line runs from the SNOWFLAKE block down to a tray holding a stack of paper labelled BILL at bottom left, and another runs from the OPENAI block to a red-lidded glass jar of yellow discs labelled CREDITS at bottom right; a block lettered ORACLE stands between them at the front, and a pencil lies at the lower right.
