🤖 Amazon's Making The Next Big AI

AND AI Startups Try To Sell Pentagon On AI

What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. The analog version of newsletters is Jelly of the Month Clubs.

Here's your Christmas bonus:

  • Amazon plans a top-secret AI model

  • Hugging Face has a two-person team developing chat AI

  • Tech startups want the Pentagon to adopt AI

Pull up a chair and lend me your ears (or eyes) for a quick sec. 

You've heard the chatter about OpenAI's ChatGPT having a few Silicon Valley neighbors raising their eyebrows and, predictably, their budgets.

Well, Amazon's whispered-about project 'Olympus' is about to climb down from the cloud and into the AI coliseum.

Word on the digital street, courtesy of the folks at Reuters, is that Bezos's brainchild is pouring millions into an LLM that's not just aiming to rub shoulders with ChatGPT and Bard but to leapfrog over them.

Think of Olympus as the Herculean effort to double ChatGPT's brawn, boasting 2 trillion parameters. 

Now, Amazon's dance with AI isn't a new tango.

They've been in the game, even had a misstep with Titan (think of it as the awkward robot shuffle), and are constantly teaching Alexa new tricks. 

But before you get lost in visions of an all-knowing Alexa, let's simmer down. These AI dreams come with their fair share of cold showers.

More parameters can mean slower responses and a carbon footprint that'd make a yeti pause. It's like strapping a jet engine onto a bicycle; thrilling, yes, but can it take you to the corner store without a hiccup?

So, here's the TL;DR:

Amazon's latest AI venture? It's ambitious, beefy, and not just about winning the AI race; it's about defining it.

Ditch the confusing hand-written notes.

Traditional notetaking can be unreliable and cumbersome; and if you miss a point, your only recourse is slogging through hours of recordings, wading through the noise to find that one critical insight.

Wudpecker changes the game. The AI-powered platform captures the essence of every meeting, filtering out the fluff and delivering concise, high-quality notes. Because life's too short for messy notes and endless replays. Embrace the future of notetaking with Wudpecker.
