Microsoft has been reducing its use of Oracle's leased AI computing capacity for Bing's conversational search after deciding not to renew the rental deal, Bloomberg reported Nov. 6.

Bloomberg said the GPUs in the leased systems no longer fit Microsoft's requirements.

An Oracle spokesperson told Reuters that demand for the company's AI infrastructure remained strong and that older-generation GPUs still had a market. EconoTimes previously covered the reported nonrenewal and Oracle's response in its earlier report.
