Amazon AWS due to roll out its own updated AI models this week

This week in Las Vegas, Amazon AWS is sure to make some news at its re:Invent developer conference.

AWS is the current undisputed cloud computing leader, serving up AI computing services for many of the top players, but most importantly enterprise darling Anthropic.

Last quarter, Amazon reported that AWS revenue grew 20% year on year and it had a $200 billion backlog of contracted business it was racing to fulfill.

But AWS has greater ambitions than being just a cloud provider. Looking toward efficiency and lower costs, AWS has been developing its own AI models, named Nova. The Information reports that this week will see a significant update to Nova, which was described in the report as the company’s first real “all-in-one” multimodal model.
