Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Amazon\u2019s cloud computing division this week released a suite of technologies aimed at helping other companies develop their own chatbots and image-generation services backed by artificial intelligence.<\/b><\/p>\n

Microsoft and Google are adding AI chatbots to consumer products like their search engines, but they are also eying another huge market: selling the underlying technology to other companies via their cloud operations.<\/p>\n

Amazon Web Services, the world\u2019s biggest cloud computing provider, on Thursday jumped into that race with a suite of its own proprietary AI technologies, but it is taking a different approach.<\/p>\n

AWS will offer a service called Bedrock that lets businesses customise what are called foundation models \u2014 the core AI technologies that do things like respond to queries with human-like text or generate images from a prompt \u2014 with their own data to create a unique model. ChatGPT creator OpenAI, for example, offers a similar service, letting customers fine-tune the models behind ChatGPT to create a custom chatbot.<\/p>\n

The Bedrock service will let customers work with Amazon\u2019s own proprietary foundation models called Amazon Titan, but it will also offer a menu of models offered by other companies. The first third-party options will come from start-ups AI21 Labs, Anthropic and Stability AI alongside Amazon\u2019s own models.<\/p>\n

The Bedrock service lets AWS customers test-drive those technologies without having to deal with the underlying data centre servers that power them.<\/p>\n

\u2018Unneeded complexity\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unneeded complexity from the perspective of the user,\u201d Vasi Philomin, vice president of generative AI at AWS, said. \u201cBehind the scenes, we can abstract that away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those underlying servers will use a mix of Amazon\u2019s own custom AI chips as well as chips from Nvidia, the biggest supplier of chips for AI work but whose chips have been in tight supply this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re able to land tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of these chips, as we need them,\u201d Dave Brown, vice president of Elastic Compute Cloud at AWS, said of the company\u2019s custom chips. \u201cIt is a release valve for some of the supply-chain concerns that I think folks are worried about.\u201d<\/p>\n
