Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO, announced at AWS Re:Invent the launch of six new foundation models
The new foundation models are called Amazon Nova and will support processing text, images, and video in a range of multimodal tasks
Amazon Nova addresses enterprise customer's interest in various AI options
A set of enhancements for Amazon Bedrock was unveiled for building and scaling generative AI applications with high-performing foundation models
Enhancements include Automated Reasoning checks, orchestrating multiple AI agents, and Model Distillation transferring knowledge efficiently
The emphasis of AI announcements was on inference process
Peter DeSantis of AWS views the future of AI infrastructure as a scaling-up process, focusing on boosting the capacity of a single system, versus scaling out to build identical systems
AWS plans to execute this vision through Trainium2-powered EC2 instances and UltraServers that will enable users to train and deploy AI models efficiently.
AWS's AI services are generating billions of dollars in annual revenue, and the firm aims to capitalize on its customer's investment in AI.
Jassy remarked, 'We prioritize technology that we think is really going to matter for customers.'
