Amazon wants to be less dependent on Anthropic’s chatbot Claude. Therefore, the company has developed its own AI model.
Amazon’s new AI model Olympus can process images and videos in addition to text. Despite its recent investment of four billion dollars, Amazon wants this model to be less dependent on AI startup Anthropic, according to The Information’ s report.
Recognizing videos
According to the report, the multimodal LLM can understand scenes in images and videos. That’s where the tech giant’s video archive comes in handy. That can be used to train the AI model. Customers can use a simple text prompt to search that archive for specific scenes they need, such as a winning basketball shot.
Still, the collaboration between Anthropic and Amazon remains important. These strengthen the integration of Anthropic’s AI models with Amazon’s cloud and chip products. Claude will be integrated into an advanced version of Alexa.
According to the report, Amazon may announce Olympus as early as next week during the AWS re:Invent conference. There is no official communication for now.
