The internet giant Amazon wants to stay in the lead in the chatbot competition, which is now being led by Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The business has joined the chatbot race and is creating Metis, an AI chatbot designed with consumers in mind that will be released later this year.
The chatbot, which runs on Olympus, one of the company's own AI models, will be accessible via a web browser. Olympus reportedly performs better than Titan, an AI model made accessible to the public by Amazon.
The Benefit of RAG
The most important question in a market full with chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude from Anthropic, Llama from Meta, and Perplexity.ai, is, "What can Amazon do differently?" Due to its late entry into the AI space and the abundance of well-known competitors, Amazon cannot afford to just keep up with them.
Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, is what Amazon's Metis will employ to access information beyond the data that its model was based on. For instance, non-RAG chatbots are unable to deliver the latest current stock prices; Metis should be able to do so.
RAGs combine natural language selection with information retrieval, enabling AI to obtain and integrate certain external data into its responses, hence improving their efficacy and accuracy.
Renat Abyasov, CEO of Wonderslide, an AI company, said in an interview that "the primary selling point of RAGs over LLMs is that the former is based entirely on a privately owned dataset that the owner of the RAG can control, which facilitates more targeted applications."
Practical benefits are another advantage of using RAG. A new research that was published in the NEJM AI journal claims that RAG may greatly improve LLMs' performance while responding to medical questions.
There is often no way to update an AI model with new data after a company like OpenAI, Google, or Amazon has trained it on a large dataset over the course of weeks or months. RAG gets around this by adding outside data to an AI's output.
Do Obstacles Still Exist?
Reports suggest that, despite high hopes, Amazon's AI-powered virtual assistant, Alexa, still need preparation. Former staff members assert that in order to operate the LLM that drives the new Alexa, Amazon requires more chips and data.
Amazon, on the other hand, has refuted these accusations, claiming that these former workers are not aware of the company's ongoing Alexa AI initiatives.
According to Jeff Bezos, the founder and former CEO of Amazon, the company needs to catch up in the AI race. His worry was staying up with competitors like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI.
Bezos has also been contacting officials at Amazon to find out why the company's cloud services aren't being used by more AI firms.
Although there is ongoing discussion on Amazon's AI performance, the company has made notable advancements in the provision of AI services.
A preview of Amazon Q, a generative AI assistant that can be customized for certain organizations, was made available in November. There are rumors that Amazon is developing a better Alexa that will make use of their Titan AI model.
Amazon is well-positioned to refute any idea that it is "falling behind in the AI technological race" with the much-awaited introduction of Metis. This AI chatbot and the latest developments in AI service delivery may represent a major turning point for the global IT giant.
