Here's a big-picture take on what we know right now, why it matters.

How has it seemingly shaken up the AI industry overnight as well as international competition in foundation models? 🧵 Image 2/ DeepSeek: The biggest wake-up call in AI in years

AWS re:Invent 2024 SUPER THREAD

Matt Garman, CEO of #AWS, is on stage talking about the early days of AWS and selling early #cloud to banks.

Now discussing building the best buildings blocks for the cloud in the industry.

- Supports myriad use cases
- Large storage instances for databases and analytics workloads
- High memory instances for apps with in-memory requirements
- Fast networking instances for HPC and ML workloads
