What's next for AI?
@ajassy thinks the biggest wave is just getting started in the workloads companies run every day, and bringing down the cost of inference is a big part of unlocking it.
AI demand is a barbell, with the labs on one end and enterprise cost-cutting on the other. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says the biggest market sits in the middle, and inference is still "an order of magnitude too expensive" to reach it.
"On one end of the barbell are the AI labs who are consuming gobs and gobs of compute, unlike anything I've seen. And then a few runaway apps, ChatGPT, Claude Code, things like that."
"On the other end of the barbell are enterprises who are largely using AI for cost avoidance and productivity, so automating customer service or fraud or business process automation."
"In the middle of the barbell are the current production workloads of enterprises, many of which are using AWS and using inference today, but I would say the overwhelming majority of which still aren't in any pervasive way."
"And that I think is gonna be the largest absolute segment of AI usage."
"The cost of inference has come down quite a bit in the last few years, but it's still an order of magnitude too expensive, in my opinion, for it to be used as pervasively as possible."
"If you're asking enterprises to rewrite their applications that use CPU today with AI accelerators... the amount of incremental benefit they have to get is a much higher bar to want to rewrite those apps. But if you can take the cost of inference down, that bar is much lower, and all applications are gonna be better and smarter and more capable."

Daylight saving time ends this weekend. Perfect timing to meet Echo Time.
Certified by the National Sleep Foundation's SleepMark™ program. It uses sleep sensing technology to determine when you're in a light sleep — no wearable needed — and wakes you at the optimal time so you wake up feeling rested. At night, it automatically blocks blue light and dims to near darkness.
Built for the two moments that bookend your day: waking up and winding down.
The new era of Echo starts now. ⬇️
Five new devices, redesigned from the ground up—all powered by the latest version of Alexa+, with even more natural conversations, thoughtful responses, and the ability to handle multi-step requests.
🔊 Echo Studio with Home Camera for immersive sound and new visual intelligence that makes Alexa more useful
⏰Echo Time, the first Echo device purpose-built for the nightstand, with a customizable screen and sleep sensing technology that helps you wake up feeling more rested
🖼️Alexa Photo Frame, the first photo frame with Alexa built in, designed to help you relive and share memories easily
🖥 Echo Show 16, a 16" anti-glare display you can transform into a full-time smart home panel, home organizer, or photo frame
🟣A reimagined Echo Dot with a built in smart home hub for the first time, plus an eero WiFi extender and crisper sound.
See it for yourself. ⬇️
1,000+ satellites built. 🛰️
In Kirkland, Washington, our factory continuously builds, tests, and ships @AmazonLeo satellites. In Cape Canaveral and Kourou, satellites for our missions on Vulcan and Ariane 6 are stacked on their dispensers ahead of launch.
Take a look inside the factory with a mission to help bring fast, reliable, and affordable internet to customers and communities around the world. ⬇️
Introducing TorchNeuron, a new open-source tool that lets developers take their PyTorch code and run it on @awscloud Trainium chips, no rewrite required.
85% of AI researchers and developers write their code in PyTorch, and now, with TorchNeuron, the tools developers already use to test, debug, and scale their models all work on Trainium without modification. Teams building everything from voice AI to drug-discovery models are already using it. ⬇️
Meet Bee, a wearable that remembers so you don't have to—and you're always in control. No stored audio. Only you see your data. Connected to Alexa+ and Amazon.com, so the details are there when you need them.
Take a look at the newest devices in the Bee family. ⬇️
Excited about our new Bee devices launching today. They turn your conversations into summaries, to-dos, and reminders, so the details are there when you need them.
Bee Frontier goes on your wrist or clips to your clothing, and Bee Eclipse snaps to the back of your phone to catch what you'd otherwise forget throughout your day, whether it's notes from a class you're taking, the details of a trip you're planning, or an idea that comes to you in the car.
They connect to Alexa+ and Amazon.com, so the things you mention are easy to find later. And you're always in control…one button turns it on or off, a light shows when it's on, audio is never stored, and only you can see your data.
Think folks are gonna find this really handy. aboutamazon.com/news/devices…
Robots that learn. Machines that improve with every deployment. AI that works in the real, physical world.
Physical AI isn't one-size-fits-all. A humanoid robot builder, an autonomous vehicle maker, and a smart factory operator all need different things. So we built the Physical AI Toolchain on @awscloud using @NVIDIA’s physical AI stack.
The toolchain is a modular development stack that lets builders pick exactly what they need, from synthetic data and simulation to edge deployment and fleet management. ⬇️
Introducing all-new Amazon Alexa Tablets, the first tablets with Alexa+ built into the core.
Three new tablets. Aluminum unibody design. Vivid high-res displays. And intelligence that actually helps. Alexa+ is always ready, answering questions, helping you manage your smart home, and offering real-time, on-screen help without ever leaving what you're doing.
It's the most personal tablet experience we've ever built.
Every time you stream a movie, join a video call, or ask an AI a question, data is moving through a network that was designed, built, and stress-tested to make that moment feel effortless.
Step inside the @awscloud product development lab where engineers are quietly building the networking technology that keeps the modern world connected, one wavelength of light at a time. 🧵⬇️
This is one of the biggest Kindle redesigns since the original Paperwhite. ⬇️
The team redesigned the devices from the ground up, beginning with a reverse-stack display —a first for e-readers.
🔋Weeks worth of battery 🎨Edge-to-edge color display 🔲The most pocket-sized Kindle ever 🟣New color options like Ube
Last year, 85+ million people read on Kindle. They read more than 720 billion pages, an all-time high. This is what comes next.
