AI is at the same inflection point cloud was a decade ago. At the @awscloud Global Meeting, Chief AI and Technology Officer Matt Wood highlighted how AWS is doing for AI what it did for cloud computing, making this technology broadly distributed and democratized for everybody.

We built the cloud to make powerful technology accessible to any builder. We're doing it again with AI. @mza takes you inside our Global Meeting, where @odysseyml's @OliverCameron unveiled Agora-2 — a multi-agent world model trained and served on AWS. Still early. A lot more to build. 🔗

24 launches. One heavy-lift rocket. Amazon Leo added six more Arianespace Ariane 6 flights, enough to carry 800+ satellites to orbit. Building on a multi-provider strategy that's already deployed nearly 400 satellites across 14 missions.⬇️

Amazon raises minimum starting pay for full-time core operations employees to $20/hour, with average pay reaching nearly $24/hour, and launches grocery discount and access to new lifetime banking benefits, making everyday life more affordable

What customers want from an agent is simple: give it a hard problem and let it make progress without constant handholding. That's what GPT-6 Astra is built for. @OpenAI's most capable model is now available on Amazon Bedrock. Build with it through Bedrock's APIs, or use it through ChatGPT Work and Codex on Bedrock.

Our strategic partnership with Novo Nordisk expands today as they announce that they've chosen AWS as their preferred cloud provider and strategic AI partner to help accelerate drug discovery. We will combine Novo Nordisk’s scientific expertise with AWS’s AI tools, including Amazon Bio Discovery (biology AI models to design and test drug candidates) and Bedrock AgentCore (infrastructure for building AI agents that run real workflows), and also stand up a co-innovation hub in London where their scientists and our engineers work side by side. We’re proud of our broad partnership across the two companies, which already spans AWS, Amazon Pharmacy, and One Medical. I’m optimistic about how we’ll use AI together to speed up drug discovery, and what that will mean for patients.
