Generative AI News - Anthropic, Amazon, OpenAI, ChatGPT, Bard, and Many More - Voicebot Podcast 354

The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown wrapping up an active
September had more big stories than any other week of the month.
The tech giants were out in force once again with news from
Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI. Featured stories this week include:




Amazon Goes Long on Anthropic, and Bedrock Gets a
Boost - Amazon’s $4 billion investment in
Anthropic is more evidence that, at one level, large language
models (LLM) are just weapons for use in the cloud wars. It
is designed to capture more cloud computing revenue for AI
workloads and boost the reputation of Amazon’s AI server
chips. In addition, Amazon Bedrock, the foundation model
garden, now has Meta’s Llama 2.




OpenAI’s Giant Valuation Increase and ChatGPT Gets an
Upgrade - The reported $80-$90 billion
valuation that OpenAI is pitching has many levels of nuance.
However, one element that doesn’t require nuance perception
is the new 2023 revenue forecast. It beat the original
estimate by 5x. ChatGPT also received a big upgrade this week
and saw the return of internet browsing.




Generative AI winners and losers of the
week.
