“Most companies want to use these great language models, but the really good ones take billions of dollars to train and many years, and most companies don’t want to go through that,” said Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, to CNBC today.
“So what they want to do is build off of a foundational model that’s already great and great and then have the ability to customize it for their own purposes. And that’s what Bedrock is,” he added.
One of Amazon Web Services’ rivals will be Microsoft, which has invested billions in OpenAI.
Another blow Amazon dealt Microsoft today is the announcement that its programming assistant, CodeWhisperer, is going to be free for individual programmers, when the same Microsoft program costs $10 ($9.04).
