It’s been two years since the introduction of ChatGPT, and in that time we’ve seen a frenzy of activity in the field of generative AI. The tech giants have jumped into this market and offered their bets, but was a great exception. We waited a long time for Amazon they move the informationand now at last it seems that he is going to do it.
Olympus in sight. He carries the crowd months of work in their own AI model, and as indicated in The Information That’s what they’re going to turn around. Hey LLM (Large Language Model)Codenamed Olympus, it is a multimodal AI model that can process both text, images and video.
Amazon has plan B *. The development of this model occurs in parallel with other major movements in the field of AI: they have invested 8 billion dollars in Anthropica, the startup responsible for Claudius, and therefore have this LLM and its variants (Sonnet, Haiku etc.
But having your own model is crucial. But it seems increasingly clear that having a proper AI model is key to the field of artificial intelligence. All the big ones have it, and Amazon now seems ready to send their own and compete with GPT-4, Gemini, Close or Llama, among others. It would also free us from possible dependence on Anthropic, which may not be the best in the medium and long term.
Presentation next week. According to the report, Olympus could be revealed next week at Amazon’s AWS Re:Find event next week. It is not clear if this launch will also mark the beginning of the availability of the model, which could still be available to the general public for some time.
Olympus and the orators. For months now, we’ve been talking about “Alexa the Amazing,” a theoretical new version of Amazon’s voice assistant, a much more powerful and capable speech AI. Olympus can be the basis of this service, which is also proposed as a payment option and which can be available in speakers and devices from the Amazon Echo family.
