你将很难找到对AI重量级和旗舰型号不熟悉的人。 OpenAI拥有ChatGPT,Anthropic拥有Claude,Google拥有Gemini. 但是Amazon有什么东西？
事实并非如此 Amazon以“Nova”为名的知名AI模式，因为电子商务巨头现在正在摧毁内部的AI实验室
Amazon正在减少大部分Nova AI模式的雄心
因此，公司将大部分AI模型放在冰上，Amazon内线告诉彭博公司。 包括基于文字的Nova模型以及视频和图像生成模型，所有这些模型都处于“保持灯光”的状态，这意味着它们仍然得到技术上的支持，但只能得到维持它们所需的最低限度的资源。
相反，劳动和计算力量正被转移到由伯克利机器人学习实验室主任Pieter Abbeel领导的单一“前沿模式努力”，该实验室的机器人公司Covariant于2024年被Amazon占据。 Abbeel加入科技巨头时，Covariant的创始人正在研究机器人的AI模型，这些模型与Amazon推动它实现所有可能实现的自动化相当一致。
Amazon战略重点转变的消息是在它关闭了旧金山一个关键AI办公室一周后传来的，该办公室是专门研究人工一般智能的80人网站，这是所谓的AI发展的下一个层次，技术在那里获得人级智能和推理技能。
随着对LLMs能否带来投资回报——更不用说AGI——的迫切质疑，Amazon可能在仍然可以的时候跳出AI的hype循环。

By now, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who isn’t broadly familiar with the AI heavyweights and their flagship models. OpenAI has ChatGPT, Anthropic has Claude, Google has Gemini. But what does Amazon have?
Not a whole lot, it turns out. Unlike its competitors in the tech megacorp scene, Amazon’s standout AI model — organized under the name “Nova” — is about the farthest thing from a household name. And that’s not likely to change anytime soon, because the ecommerce giant is now gutting its in-house AI labs, Bloomberg reports.
Per the outlet, Amazon is scaling back the ambitions of most of its Nova AI models and reorganizing its AI development teams as part of an effort to narrow its focus on “highest priority” goals, after its power-hungry large language models turned out to be a bust.
Accordingly, the company has put most of its AI models on ice, Amazon insiders told Bloomberg. This includes its text-based Nova models, as well as video- and image-generating models, all of which have been placed in a state of “keep the lights on,” meaning they’re technically still supported, but only receive the bare minimum resources needed to sustain them.
Instead, labor and computing power are being diverted toward a singular “frontier-model effort” led by Pieter Abbeel, director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab whose robotics company Covariant was hoovered up by Amazon in 2024. At the time Abbeel joined the tech giant, Covariant’s founders were working on AI models for robots, which lines up pretty well with Amazon’s push to automate everything it possibly can.
News of the shift in Amazon’s strategic focus comes a week after it closed one of its key AI offices in San Francisco, an 80-person site specializing in research on artificial general intelligence, the supposed next-level of AI development where the tech obtains human-level intelligence and reasoning skills.
With urgent questions swirling over whether LLMs can ever usher in a return on investment — let alone AGI — it may be that Amazon is jumping out of the AI hype cycle while it still can.
