Amazon is said to be working on an AI chatbot that will be more powerful than OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT offering.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
According to <\/span>Business Insider<\/span><\/i><\/a>, the tech giant is developing a program codenamed “Metis.” It should be accessible via a web browser. The generative AI product is expected to respond to queries with text \u201cin a conversational manner,\u201d providing links to other resources and generating images.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Metis appears to set itself apart with its \u201cretrieval-augmented generation,\u201d or RAG. This capability will allow the chatbot to obtain information outside its initial training data, such as up-to-date stock prices, giving it a potential advantage over rival AI services.<\/span><\/p>\n The AI chatbot will reportedly be powered by an Amazon LLM known as Olympus. It would be trained on a mammoth two trillion data parameters, around twice the capability of <\/span>GPT-4<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 The increased bandwidth is said to make Metis more capable of human-like responses, reducing the margin for error in its output.<\/span><\/p>\n Company founder and former CEO <\/span>Jeff Bezos<\/span><\/a> had been critical of <\/span>Amazon\u2019s<\/span><\/a> performance in the current AI stakes. He reportedly expressed his concern in <\/span>emails to senior staff<\/span><\/a> asking why more AI firms were not using its cloud services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The proposed launch of Metis in the fall of 2024 could go some way to allaying those fears. It might put Amazon back in contention along with other big tech heavyweights like Google and Microsoft, which are already implementing their generative AI assistants. More and more products are coming to the market, aided by startups such as Amazon-backed Anthropic.<\/span><\/p>\n Metis has also been characterized as an \u201cAI agent,\u201d moving toward the next generation of technology with agents capable of performing additional tasks autonomously, using data, decision-making, and multitasking based on activity patterns and set algorithms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon is said to be working on an AI chatbot that will be more powerful than OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT offering.\u00a0 According to Business Insider, the tech giant is developing a program codenamed “Metis.” It should be accessible via a web browser.
