The Olympus project could increase competition for major AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic PBC. AWS has already launched a cloud service, Amazon Bedrock, which provides access to internally developed and third-party generative AI models. The service includes a lineup of customizable language models, the Titan series, developed by Amazon.
Key takeaways:
- Amazon is reportedly developing a large language model named 'Olympus' with 2 trillion parameters, a project led by Rohit Prasad, the company’s senior vice president and head scientist for artificial general intelligence.
- The model is expected to enhance the value proposition of Amazon Web Services (AWS), suggesting it could be made available to other companies through AWS.
- AWS already offers a cloud service called Amazon Bedrock, which provides access to internally developed and third-party generative AI models, including a lineup of customizable language models developed by Amazon.
- If made available, Olympus could create more competition for major AI developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic PBC, in which Amazon is a major investor.
