Amazon, the world's largest cloud corporations, said it will merge its teams developing its artificial intelligence (AI) models and its in-house AI chips.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on the 17th (local time) in an internal notice that it will combine the artificial general intelligence (AGI) team and the chip development team.
Amazon's AGI team has been developing the large language model (LLM) "Nova," while the chip development team has been developing "Trainium." The merger is seen as preparation to enter the AI model market for corporations in earnest by optimizing between "Nova" and "Trainium."
Amazon plans to maximize efficiency through the integration of software and hardware and provide an attractive AI infrastructure for corporations customers.
Peter DeSantis, a vice president at Amazon Web Services (AWS), was appointed to lead the merged team. DeSantis will report directly to CEO Jassy. Amazon is also seeking to move beyond distributing AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic to transform into a developer supplying "private label (PB)" AI models.
