Breaking Microsoft's exclusive service! Amazon will provide customers with OpenAI models

According to Zhitong Finance APP, Amazon (AMZN.US) plans to offer customers OpenAI's latest artificial intelligence models, marking the first time this cloud computing giant provides products from the leading AI startup. Amazon will make these tools available on its Bedrock and SageMaker platforms, stating that their advanced reasoning capabilities make them suitable for AI agent development. Atul Deo, General Manager of Amazon Bedrock, stated in an interview that the OpenAI models will help the company's cloud computing division, AWS, meet customer demands, as these customers seek various tools to determine which best suit their needs. "We want to provide customers with choice and flexibility," he said. OpenAI released new models on Tuesday, claiming they can perform complex tasks such as writing code and searching for information online on behalf of users. These models are designed with an "open weights" system, making it easier for developers to customize them. Previously, Microsoft was the only cloud service provider able to resell OpenAI software, a competitive advantage that helped its Azure division grow faster than AWS. As concerns grow in the industry about Amazon's AI development lagging behind competitors, CEO Andy Jassy has positioned AWS as a "supermarket" for selling various AI tools to enterprises. The company's Bedrock software platform aims to simplify the process of accessing large language models from other companies as well as Amazon's proprietary models. Amazon also invested $8 billion in the AI startup Anthropic to enhance its AI service competitiveness through partnerships. AWS offers Anthropic's Claude model to customers in the AI market. Anthropic plans to release a new version of its strongest AI model on Tuesday, claiming this version has enhanced capabilities in programming, research, and data analysis. Last week, Amazon projected that its operating profit for this quarter would fall short of expectations, and its cloud business growth is lagging behind major competitors, raising investor concerns about whether its substantial AI investments will pay off. In the second quarter, AWS revenue grew slightly over 17% to $30.9 billion, barely exceeding analysts' average expectation of $30.8 billion. Amazon appointed Matt Garman as CEO of its cloud computing division last year. This executive, who has long served as the head of AWS engineering and previously held the position of sales leader, succeeded Adam Selipsky
