Amazon.com Inc., playing catch-up in the hotly contested market for generative artificial intelligence, has developed a tool to help businesses create images.<\/p>\n
This week, Amazon Web Services, the company\u2019s cloud services arm, has been rolling out a range of products \u2014 from a chatbot to AI chips \u2014 \u00a0at its annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
AWS executive Swami Sivasubramanian demonstrated the Titan Image Generator on Wednesday with various images of iguanas that the technology had generated.<\/p>\n
He said the tool is now available in preview.<\/p>\n
AWS is the largest provider of rented computing power and data storage.<\/p>\n
But it has trailed Microsoft Corp.-backed OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.\u2019s Google in bringing to market products based on its own large language models, the expensive software systems behind ChatGPT and its ilk.<\/p>\n
Amazon\u2019s Titan line has added new models since a bare-bones launch\u00a0in April<\/a><\/strong>, including some designed to generate text more cheaply than OpenAI\u2019s latest versions.<\/p>\n Amazon is also hedging its bets, trying to entice other large model makers to offer their software to AWS customers. Earlier this year, Amazon\u00a0agreed<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to invest as much as $4 billion in AI startup Anthropic.<\/p>\n As part of the deal, AWS clients have access to Anthropic\u2019s Claude models, including one released last week,\u00a0<\/strong>Sivasubramanian said. He also said Amazon offers an updated\u00a0<\/strong>version of Meta Platforms Inc.\u2019s Llama model.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Amazon announced\u00a0a chatbot<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>called Q for businesses that can pluck insights from corporate information and summarise text and trends, among other tasks.<\/p>\n Matt Wood, an AWS vice president, declined in an interview to say which models Q relies on to produce its results, saying only that it uses a variety of them.<\/p>\n AWS executive Swami Sivasubramanian demonstrated the Titan Image Generator on Wednesday with various images of iguanas that the technology had generated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341034,"featured_media":517883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[89838,723,27543,89056,91187],"class_list":["post-517863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-ai-image-generator","tag-amazon","tag-amazon-web-services-aws","tag-swami-sivasubramanian","tag-titan-image-generator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517863"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341034"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517863"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":517871,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517863\/revisions\/517871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read: AI tool turns images into working games and other software in seconds<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
