@plamen_9 @phartenfeller Still not there in the London one yet, I wonder if there will be similar EU regulatory restrictions on Grok as we have with Llama 🤔

[Oracle Developers @OracleDevs]

Everyone is talking about #AI. But what can business leaders really expect from AI in 2025? Our own Miranda Nash outlines her top 5 predictions here: https://t.co/VUN5LSYbTu

Is there anyone across the APEX community who can definitively answer the following question…

Is APEX included in the recent(ish) Autonomous Database at Google/AWS/Azure cloud announcements?

🚀Do you use Oracle APEX to build E-Business Suite extensions?

[Oliver Waters @ojwaters]

@JonDixonUS Yeah ours too, we did a clone to upgrade to get our instance on to 23ai. Spent the day loading an onnx model and finally getting a RAG solution up and running ready to demo to a customer, then the db goes 💣 😡

[Oliver Waters @ojwaters]

@aejes Yep I’m in this camp too, a number of CTXSYS db objects invalid 😢 on a newly cloned instance to get from 19c to 23ai

[Oliver Waters @ojwaters]

@JonDixonUS Uh oh… we seem to have hit a similar issue with dbms_vector package 😱 it’s invalid, no more vector embeddings 😢. Out of interest, did you do any maintenance, work requests etc. before the packages became invalid?

[Oliver Waters @ojwaters]

@andre_blu Not ideal, but hopefully 24.2 will be out soon… crazy that we can’t hook OCI Generative AI up to adb APEX ai dev service, due to it “not supporting chat”

[Fujitsu Research @fujitsulabs]

Fujitsu and @Teikyo_univ_PR have joined forces to create a game-changing UX platform for health improvement. Leveraging Extended Reality (XR), spatial computing, and #GenerativeAI, this project aims to transform the way patients perceive their health. By visualizing their internal anatomy in a virtual environment, patients gain better insights into their condition, fostering behavioral change. 🩺🔍

The initiative also introduces an AI healthcare supporter avatar, developed with generative AI, to provide personalized follow-up. This approach strengthens healthcare literacy and inspires a proactive attitude towards well-being.
