What is Amazon Olympus?

Apple, Google and Amazon currently frantically working on new massive LLMs.

Hey Everyone,

As you know we are waiting for Google’s Gemini LLM to be announced soon. But there is another LLM that we should be aware of. Amazon was rather slow compared to its Cloud peers to invest in Generative AI products directly.

After its first batch of models, called Titan, got off to a rough start reports The Information, Amazon is developing a new model, codenamed Olympus various media outlets have reported this week.

Amazon claims that large language model AI will reportedly be one of the largest and most powerful systems in operation. The rumor that caught my attention is that it’s reportedly twice the size of OpenAI's GPT-4. 

The retailer has already publicly committed to invest up to $4 billion in AI startup Anthropic, and AWS has placed its bets now in Generative A.I. to some extent, though perhaps not as well as Nvidia has.

Olympus will support 2 trillion parameters, a measure of an AI model's complexity, making it more advanced than OpenAI’s GPT-4 second most powerful model which has 1 trillion parameters, according to the sources.
