Amazon to Launch Olympus
Amazon, the largest online retailer and tech provider, is set to launch Olympus, a Large Language Model (LLM), through its web services branch, AWS (Amazon Web Services). This new model is expected to have a significant impact on Amazon’s online retail platform and advance features within the Alexa voice assistant on devices like the Amazon Echo.

Amazon delayed the launch of Titan, a large language model that was initially planned for cloud client services. This delay was due to its inferior performance compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Subsequently, Amazon focused on developing a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that could rival any other LLM.
