(Reuters) -E-commerce giant Amazon has developed new generative artificial intelligence (AI) that can process images and videos in addition to text, making it less reliant on AI startup Anthropic, The Information reported on Wednesday.

In the case of Amazon and Anthropic, the companies maintain that teams are writing ‘low-level kernels,’ so that parts of the system can interface directly with the Trainium processor as hardware, in the words of spokespersons, the ‘Trainium silicon.’

The tech powerhouse describes how it deploys its vast array of computing and communication tools to work to battle hackers and crooks who are using AI to scale up threats to businesses.

Amazon has increased its investment in AI startup Anthropic with an additional $4bn, taking the e-commerce giant’s total investment to $8bn. With the latest funding, Amazon will remain a minority investor in the AI company.

Amazon is advancing its generative AI capabilities with Olympus, a new large language model (LLM) designed to process multimedia content, including

AI-generated voices are synthetic voices that use AI to mimic human speech, generated by deep learning algorithms and neural networks. AI voices work by analyzing large amounts of real human speech (voice recordings) to learn patterns in intonation, pace, and accents. The AI then uses this information to convert text into speech.

The technology has spawned a surge in hacking attempts, says cyber chief CJ Moses, while Amazon is also using it to powerfully amp up its threat-analysis capability.

The cloud computing giant won’t dislodge the incumbent anytime soon but is hoping to reduce its reliance on the chipmaker.

Anthropic announced it received an additional $4 billion investment from Amazon as they deepened their partnership with AWS becoming its primary cloud and training partner.

The newly launched lab is a state-of-the-art AI and robotics hub developed to help students enhance their skills. With the Makerspace lab, Amazon aims to expand hands-on learning of computer science for children from Class 5 to Class 12 in government schools.
