Here’s how Amazon points to its ChatGpt for the cloud
Amazon's cloud unit has partnered with AI firm Hugging Face. The startup is developing its own ChatGPT competitor that will be available to Amazon Web Services customers.
Amazon also enters the race for artificial intelligence by chasing ChatGpt.
Amazon Web Services (Aws), the cloud computing arm of the e-commerce giant, said yesterday that it is partnering with startup Hugging Face, a software development hub that is developing its own ChatGPT competitor.
This is the latest move by a major tech company in a market that is attracting attention for generative AI systems.
As new generative AI services like the chat-based search engines from Microsoft and Google have captured the public imagination, tech companies like AWS are also competing behind the scenes to provide the tools and services software developers will need. need to integrate similar technology into their products, Reuters comments.
Amazon Web Services will make Hugging Face's products, which include a language generation tool that competes with OpenAI's underlying ChatGPT technology, available to cloud customers who want to use these tools as the building blocks of their applications.
WHAT AMAZON CLOUD DRIVE WILL DO WITH HUGGING FACE
On Tuesday, AWS said it will work with Hugging Face, which has become an online hub where AI developers share open source code and models. Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, said that while the deal isn't exclusive, the startup is working closely with AWS to make it easier for developers to take code from the site and run it on the AWS cloud.
WHAT THE NEW YORK-BASED STARTUP DOES
Based in New York, Hugging Face was co-founded by Clément Delangue and Julien Chaumond in 2016.
Last year, the startup raised $100 million from investors including Lux Capital, Sequoia Capital and Coatue Management, as well as basketball star Kevin Durant. The company's AI model repository serves as a sort of GitHub of machine learning tools where developers can share work and collaborate.
BLOOM ON AWS
Specifically, Hugging Face will build the next version of Bloom, an open source AI model that rivals in size and scope with the model that Microsoft-backed OpenAI used to build ChatGPT, on AWS. Delangue explained that Bloom will run on Trainium, a proprietary AI chip created by AWS.
In fact, Amazon Web Services already offers tools to help developers build AI-powered software, including proprietary compute chips. According to numbers provided by Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of databases, analytics and machine learning at Amazon's cloud unit, AWS already has more than 100,000 customers running AI applications in its cloud. These customers will now be able to access Hugging Face AI tools through Amazon's SageMaker program.
BIG TECH'S LATEST MOVE IN GENERATIVE AI
Finally, as Bloomberg recalls, the partnership comes amid a series of agreements and investments that pair the major cloud service providers with companies working on generative AI, capable of creating new texts, photos and graphics. Last month, Microsoft reached an agreement to invest in ChatGPT maker OpenAI for an estimated $10 billion and is using the startup's technology for Bing search. Earlier this month, Google invested nearly $400 million in OpenAI rival Anthropic.
At stake is the ability to sell cloud computing services to take advantage of a boom in interest in generative AI programs.
