Amazon's Secret Plan to Make AI Dirt Cheap Revealed! Will This Change Everything?

A Purr fectly Affordable Future for AI?

Hola amigos! Puss in Boots here reporting live from... well wherever the scent of adventure leads! Today's tale involves the mighty Amazon and their fearless leader Andy Jassy. He's penned a missive to his shareholders predicting that AI the mystical beast of our time will soon be as affordable as a bowl of milk for a weary gato like myself. He proclaims and I quote 'AI does not have to be as expensive as it is today and it won't be in the future!' Caramba! Could this be the end of AI's gold plated cat food budget?

Chips Ahoy! The Secret Ingredient

Jassy in his infinite wisdom believes that the key to this AI price slashing lies in more 'price performant chips.' Apparently the current chips are so expensive they're probably hoarding all the gold coins! He also mentions 'model distillation prompt catching computing infrastructure and model architectures' – sounds like a potion recipe straight out of Duloc! But fear not my friends for these advancements will eventually reduce the 'cost per unit in AI,' unleashing its power for all to enjoy. Imagine AI so cheap even Donkey could afford it!

From Clouds to Code: Amazon's Master Plan

Amazon that behemoth of boxes and bytes is throwing gold doubloons—up to $100 billion this year—at AI related projects. They're building data centers faster than I can sharpen my claws all to meet the overwhelming demand for generative AI. They've unleashed their own AI beasts like Nova models Trainium chips and Bedrock a marketplace for AI models. And Alexa that digital sidekick has received a swanky AI upgrade. Looks like someone's been taking notes from yours truly on reinventing themselves!

Streamlining the Startup: Less Bureaucracy More Booty!

But it's not all about spending mis amigos. Jassy is also on a quest to streamline Amazon operating it like the 'world's largest startup.' Apparently this involves firing a few villagers—more than 27,000 to be exact—and ditching experimental ventures faster than I can ditch a wanted poster. He's even created a 'bureaucracy mailbox,' where employees can report instances of red tape. 375 changes were made! As Jassy himself says 'Builders hate bureaucracy!' I Puss in Boots couldn't agree more! Bureaucracy is the enemy of adventure!

The 'Why' Culture: Asking the Right Questions Getting the Right Answers

Jassy emphasizes Amazon's 'Why' culture constantly questioning the status quo. Why can't we offer customers everything? Why not let customers choose from millions of sellers? Why does every company need its own capital intensive datacenters? These questions have led to significant inventions and better customer experiences or so he says. It's like when I ask myself 'Why can't I have all the cream?' The answer of course is 'I can because I'm Puss in Boots!' But sometimes the answer is 'because you will get sick Puss'. Always always a good reason to have a friend eh?

The Future is Bright or at Least Cheaper!

In conclusion my feathered friends Amazon is betting big on AI promising a future where this powerful technology is both more accessible and more affordable. They're streamlining operations embracing a 'Why' culture and building chips faster than you can say 'Giant Beanstalk.' Whether they succeed remains to be seen but one thing is certain: Puss in Boots will be watching ready to pounce on any story that promises adventure excitement and maybe a little bit of cream! Adios!
