Oracle pushes agentic data tools: the week in AI releases
Oracle used AI World to extend its lakehouse and agent apps, while security vendors, GPU capacity deals and patent filings filled out the week.
Oracle accounted for two of the week's releases, both announced at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas on Oct. 26, 2026: a business semantic layer and expanded Iceberg support for its Autonomous AI Lakehouse, and Fusion Claw-powered agentic applications for supply chain. Oracle says both aim to ground AI agents in business context. Security vendors also focused on AI. Check Point launched a firewall-as-a-subscription offering built around its AI Network Firewall, and Norton, a brand of Gen, added Safe AI protections to Norton 360 to control what AI tools can see and do.
On infrastructure, Forum Markets said its Forum Edge AI joint venture signed a $94.4 million, 36-month agreement to supply Nvidia B300 GPU capacity to Fireworks from a Dallas data center. Other items included FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem's listing ceremony and investor day, 13 U.S. patent milestones at Datavault AI, and Omnicom's placement as a Leader in an IDC MarketScape assessment of AI-enabled Adobe professional services.
