AWS CEO Adam Selipsky On Amazon’s $100 Million Investment Into Generative AI

[@thisisachannel198]

Love this interviewer! She's really getting into the heart of the matter.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Great challenging interview. I like how Deirdre Bosa basically gave one of the biggest web companies the treatment others would give an up-and-coming startup. You can tell Adam Selipsky has a technical background from his responses and at times trying desperately not to go into jargon. These challenging questions to a person who has the technical background to answer them gives us some great insight.

Great interview and quite insightful …

There aren’t just one player H100 from Nvidia. Even for Nvidia GPUs, the most popular ones are probably still V100s since their price to performance ratio is good! Popular LLM models such as BLOOM is trained on V100. For inference, there are already a lot of players from edge to server side inference. Even Apple, with neural engine on every new Macs and iPhone, is a strong contributor to this space. There are lots of opportunities in the server inference space for Amazon to grow.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Companies should ask the question; do they need a large monolithic chip to perform the duties they require? It wasn't that long ago that an AMD GPGPU could run laps around nVidia's part at significantly less cost. nVidia's change in architecture recently won back their compute crown as both AMD and nVidia consolidated the way their GPUs work. There is a use case for a large monolithic die as there is a drop in performance when multiple dies are used. But it comes at a cost of lower yields and higher price for the die. AMD is more than happy not venturing into the large dies as they get the yields they want. Recently Intel announced they have a competitive iGPU. Not sure how that will play out on the larger scale.

[@Tential1]

Yes, if we are talking raw capabilities, H100 is the best, but he just couldn't say, yes it's good, our chip targets price/perf for specific use cases.

[@simsimmons8884]

@@Tential1 who are you with?

[@StevePilar]

Adam clearly couldn't lie and embellish that Amazon Chips are as good as NVIDIAs because he knows that's far fetched. Amazon GPUs are no where close to NVIDIAs. Good job Deidre for pointing it out and getting him off guard and asking the right tough questions.

[@hondajacka2]

H100 got new Transformer Engine that is supposedly 6-9x faster than A100 for transformer models like GPT and BERT for training. Eventhough H100 is more expensive, the perf/price could be really good if you’re working with transformers. That’s still very new and isn’t going to be mass deployed until next quarter.

Amazon finally followed in everyone else's footsteps and jumped on the "AI" train to Hotairbaloonville and their stock price went up. How nice ...

[@Tential1]

They didn't jump on this like everyone else. This was an aws service for years. 5 years old. Aws is the biggest profit driver of Amazon that drives the whole company. So yes.... This absolutely is real and isn't hot air. Amazon has a 25-30%ebitda cagr for a reason. That's why the stock is do valuable. It's still growing at an insane rate. None of this is new. Do you sleep through investor conferences? They explain these plans years in advance. Management's ability to execute on these plans is how they keep their job

[@milanmilanov348]

@@Tential1 Maybe you should google what "sarcasm" means before you go on to "educate" people on things of which just about everyone is aware. My point is that lately all these companies have been in a race to tell everyone how cool their AI implementations are, which immediately pumps their stock price. NVidia and google have also been in AI for years too, yet it's only now the market seems to care due to the craze around chatGPT. Until now, Amazon had stayed silent and seemed to keep their distance form from all the shameless self-promotion going around (see CRM). Now, they finally bought themselves a ticket for that train, as well.

Generative AI equals degenerative human employment.

[@shinomu213]

he said nothing but a dream of Amazon ~~~~

[@StevePilar]

That's how what I felt too. Amazon seemed to have lost it's way. Microsoft and Google are way advanced in this AI race. Also Microsoft Azure is gaining traction on model training and inference race with medium and AI startups since they are powering ChatGPT and Bing AI. They also are investing in their own chipset and procuring from NVDA. I see MSFT at $460 by end of the year.

[@rothn2]

Why are you investing that much? It's suspicious to me as someone who has been doing this for many years because it doesn't seem like they should need that much with strong technical leadership and a cohesive strategy. Maybe to _serve_ the models but that should pay for itself, since AWS' whole thing is that they charge for compute. I'm also an advocate of separating LLMs from generative AI. It seems lots of people, especially on the business side, conflate the two.

[@yashagarwal8249]

[@dreadfulbodyguard7288]

LLMs are subset of generative AI. In future, most generative AI will be multimodal with LLMs being important component. No point in separating them.

[@rothn2]

@@dreadfulbodyguard7288 > LLMs are subset of generative AI. LLMs are not a subset of generative AI. LLMs and generative AI are two sets of things that loosely overlap. For example, other popular types of generative AI are diffusion models and GANs. Further, LLMs are more often used for text classification, sentiment analysis, and non-generative tasks. The generative use-case has long been understood, but only very recently has it gotten good enough to be more than a research task/toy. > In future, most generative AI will be multimodal with LLMs being important component. Probably. But you seem to be more sure of this than I am. That's the most-likely short-term future. I think the most impactful contribution long-term will be as planning models for robotic control (think: home robots, and even systems like HAL 9000 but hopefully with moral alignment). > No point in separating them. Disagree. It's nice to be able to say that I fine-tuned an LLM each time I specialize a very large text classifier (happens every so often), while being technically correct, and have the other person think I'm doing something exciting. That's why a bunch of people around me don't want to separate these. But I think this actually does us a disservice because when we _actually_ do the exciting (generative AI / LM) things, people will just say "oh, it's only another LLM".

[@doomtomb3]

why is CNBC so obsessed with Nvidia? They act like no one else can create a chip.

[@Tential1]

You can create a chip in theory. The issue is, manufacturing it. Tsmc has deals with apple, amd, Intel, and Nvidia. They always get first dibs. So, you compete at a 30% deficit, as the latest manufacturing process adds a lot. Nvidia and apple go as far as buying excess capacity to ensure you can't use it. Then, the entry cost into designing is around 10B. Essentially, no one really can compete with Nvidia... Hence why they have led their industry for 20 years straight. It doesn't even matter if you do create a chip better than Nvidia. Their software stack is also what matters. Everyone uses Nvidia, so even if a competitor is better, your software won't work with it, you won't get support, etc. Trust me dude, I spent the 15 years trying to avoid Nvidia products. But when you actually have mission critical work, you go with Nvidia. It's more stupid that you think competition will best Nvidia now, just because it fits your time narrative. Nvidia used to have tons of competitors. It has amd now. As the last man standing. There are a lot of bodies in Nvidias past. It's why I invested. I stopped fighting Nvidia, stopped trying to avoid the products, stopped begging for a competitor to dethrone them and their high prices. Instead, I bought the stock and the gains from the stock allow me to afford their very high prices.

[@Tential1]

The only people who seriously make their own chips are the majors. Amazon , Facebook, Google, Microsoft, apple. So if you want big tech to get bigger, yes, we can cheerlead them. Too cost intensive for anyone else
