AdvertisementAmazon is developing a new AI model called Olympus for video analysis, The Information reported. Amazon-backed Anthropic has already launched its own multimodal model for images and videos. Amazon may have doubled down on its investment in Anthropic, but it also appears to be hedging its AI bets by developing its own model that can process images and video in addition to text. The tech giant's new model, code-named Olympus, could help customers search video archives for specific scenes, The Information reported. The development and launch of Olympus could reduce Amazon's dependency on Anthropic for multimodal AI, especially if the new video model becomes as a cheaper alternative.

Amazon is JPMorgan's best idea for the holidays
  + stars: | 2024-11-27 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Consider adding Amazon to your holiday stock shopping list, according to JPMorgan. Analyst Doug Anmuth named the stock its best idea heading into the holiday stretch, citing expectations for 7.5% year-over-year growth and online shopping market share gains. Shares have rallied 36% this year, with the firm's $250 price target implying 20% upside from Tuesday's close. "Amazon maintains a leading ~45% share of US e-comm & enters the holiday season with strong momentum from early holiday promotions, [same-day/1-day delivery], regionalization, expansion of the Prime ecosystem, & competitive prices," he wrote. Amazon shares have popped more than 35% year to date, and analysts see more upside ahead.

AdvertisementThis post originally appeared in the Insider Today newsletter. TikTok videos espoused the benefits of #publicsector jobs, and Google searches for "how to get a government job" hit a five-year high. Several careers consultants told Business Insider they were already experiencing a rush of demand from workers ready to shift to the private sector. But ask any white-collar professional, and they'll tell you a horror story that would prove otherwise. Hiring has held up well for low-earning workers, but those making six figures or more are in the midst of a white-collar recession.

The power needs of artificial intelligence and cloud computing are growing so large that individual data center campuses could soon use more electricity than some cities, and even entire U.S. states, according to companies developing the facilities. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, data centers are growing so large that finding enough power to drive them and enough suitable land to house them will become increasingly difficult, the developers say. Technology companies are in a "race of a lifetime to global dominance" in artificial intelligence, said Ali Fenn, president of Lancium, a company that secures land and power for data centers in Texas. Beyond VirginiaAs land and power grow more limited, data centers are expanding into new markets outside the long-established global hub in northern Virginia, Sahlstrom said. The privately-held company is working with utilities to secure up to 1.8 gigawatts of power for the site to support as many as 40 individual data centers.

The deal includes an agreement for Anthropic to use Amazon's AI chips more. The goal of all this money is mainly to get Amazon's AI chips to be used more often to train and run large language models. It's also going to help Amazon design future Trainium chips and contribute to building out an Amazon AI model development platform called AWS Neuron.
