Amazon is so late to the game. Considering just how fast things Microsoft and Google AI are being integrated in to products. They are trying to catchup now, only way is to dump $B in to some leaders. So they spent $4B on Anthropic.
Let’s see what reinvent has to offer on the catch ups.

- fumeux_fume 3y agoCloud providers typically rush these things to check boxes for meaningless Gartner reports. Hopefully, taking longer means more time was put into producing something usable and not just a nominal effort to provide LLM offerings.
- whoevercares 3y agowhat product? AWS mostly sell services and Bedrock makes sense as an API
- __float 3y agoAWS has many products that have done well for being innovative. They also have a long list of products that were "late to the game", maybe even offer little more than being hand-wavily "managed services".
- fragmede 3y agoGiven how late Apple was to the smartphone game, and how that shook out, I don't think Amazon has anything to worry about. Now, any company using AWS (there are several) can sprinkle AI magic on top of their products without a whole build out to use a different cloud. Some $B into the leaders gets them very far. It's a failing of capitalism, honestly, as it lets the incumbents rest on their laurels and they don't have to be competitive, just richer, which they should be, simply by virtue of being the incumbent.
