OpenAI models and Codex become purchasable through Oracle Universal Credits — the third major cloud distribution channel in two weeks

OpenAI and Oracle announced that OCI customers will be able to apply existing Oracle Universal Credits toward OpenAI frontier models and Codex, rolling out in the coming weeks. Enterprises get OpenAI access under purchasing agreements they've already negotiated — no separate procurement channel. Following the June 2 AWS Bedrock GA, OpenAI's distribution strategy is now explicitly multi-cloud, continuing the decoupling from Microsoft-exclusive distribution.
