Ba0Ba0, a Singapore -based AI company with a zero token, zero licensing cost model and a local LLM CPU-first architecture, today announced a strategic partnership with OceanBase to co-develop and expand AI automation solutions across Singapore and other ASEAN markets. The partnership will merge Ba0Ba0s affordable, locally deployable AI capabilities with OceanBases industry-leading database technology, enabling enterprises across banking, healthcare, retail, and other sectors to accelerate digital transformation with unmatched efficiency and cost control.
Through this partnership, Ba0Ba0 will integrate OceanBases AI-ready, multi-cloud distributed database capabilities into its AI automation solutions, delivering higher efficiency, reliability, and scalability for enterprise backends. This integration ensures secure, high-performance deployments while eliminating the usage-based fees and licensing costs that have historically limited AI adoption in many industries.
OceanBases built-in vector capabilities enable AI development directly within SQL, simplifying the AI stack and allowing seamless hybrid searches across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data - all while integrating OLTP, OLAP, and AI workloads in a single database. These innovations unlock modernized AI applications such as intelligent recommendations, AI-powered conversational systems through Retrieval-Augmented Generation RAG, and enterprise-level AI agents.
