Amazon working on simplifying AI in Amazon cloud

Budrigannews.com – The cloud computing division of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:), Amazon Web Services (AWS), on Tuesday, it said that it would work with the software development hub startup Hugging Face to make it easier to do AI work in Amazon’s cloud.
While Microsoft Corp.’s (NASDAQ:) chat-based search engines and other new generative AI services also, Letters in order (NASDAQ:) Google, owned by Google Inc., has piqued people’s interest, but technology companies like AWS are also vying for the tools and services that software developers will need to incorporate similar technology into their own products.
AWS, the largest cloud computing provider, already offers tools to developers to help them create AI-based software. These tools include proprietary computing chips that allow developers to sprinkle AI algorithms on huge amounts of data at a lower cost than competitors and services that shorten the time it takes to create a chatbot or other AI product.
AWS announced on Tuesday that it would collaborate with Hugging Face, a company based in New York that has established itself as a central online location for AI developers to share open-source code and models. Hugging Face’s chief executive, Clem Delangue, stated that the company is collaborating closely with AWS to make it simple for developers to take code from the website and run it on the AWS cloud, although the deal is not exclusive.
In an interview with Reuters, Delangue stated, “We’re dedicating significant engineering resources to build our shared products for this product collaboration.”
Delangue also stated that Trainium, an AWS-developed proprietary artificial intelligence chip, will be used to run the next generation of Bloom, an open-source AI model that competes with the model that Microsoft-backed OpenAI used to create ChatGPT.
AWS vice president of database, analytics, and machine learning Swami Sivasubramanian believes that technologies like Trainium can help developers save money as AI consumes more computing power and AWS wants developers to adopt them in less time.
