Amazon CEO explains why he’s happy to run DeepSeek
The Amazon chief rushed to make DeepSeek’s open-source models available to his customers, in a move that will put downward pressure on the total costs of AI projects.
Just as Jeff Bezos conceived of Amazon as the “everything store”, his successor, CEO Andy Jassy, wants its cloud computing arm to offer businesses everything they need to build AI models and applications. And it’s spending north of $US100 billion ($160 billion) this year to get there.
Under Jassy’s direction Amazon Web Services is developing its own custom chips taking on Nvidia, pouring billions into building data centres and creating a storefront where businesses can select different AI models to plug into their applications.
