FINALLY!!!! After many delays and much fanfare, Oracle AI Database 26ai (23.26.1.0.0) has been officially released for Linux x86-64 (on-prem)!

You can find the download at oracle.com (*.zip and *.rpm)

You can also find it at e-delivery.oracle.com (if you’re looking for the more “official” version).

Special note for E-Business Suite customers: While the EBS ATG group HAS announced certification of E-Business Suite R12.2 against 26ai for Exadata (which is, for many purposes just Linux x86-64), they haven’t officially announced certification for EBS R12.2 + RDBMS 26ai for on-prem Linux. Given that the two are extremely close, I would expect an announcement from them soon(ish).
