Despite being caught off guard by OpenAI's popular ChatGPT service, Amazon is not giving up on building its own advanced models. The company's CEO, Andy Jassy, emphasized that Nova is just one of many options for developers. Amazon's AI business is reportedly growing three times faster than AWS did at the same stage, and the company aims to offer customers the best options rather than beating competitors.
Key takeaways:
- Amazon is focusing on customer choice rather than market dominance in its AI strategy, offering diverse models from multiple providers through its Bedrock tool.
- Amazon unveiled a new series of AI models called Nova, but maintains that the goal is to provide more choice to customers, not to outperform other companies.
- Despite having its own AI models, Amazon is not giving up on building its own advanced models, with the creation of a new artificial general intelligence team and the launch of the Nova series.
- Amazon's AI business is reportedly growing three times faster at its stage of evolution than AWS did itself, with AWS now on pace to generate 'multi-billion dollars' in AI-related revenue this year.
