Amazon is developing a new model of artificial intelligence with improved "thinking" capabilities, but unlike competitors, the company has chosen a "hybrid" approach. This is reported by Business Insider.
The new model, which will join the Nova family, introduced at the end of 2024, is due to be released in June 2025. This was reported by a source directly involved in the project.
Larger language models with advanced thinking capabilities can generate more complex answers, but they take longer to do so. Amazon plans to take a “hybrid” approach that will allow the model to combine quick answers with more in-depth ones within a single system.
Amazon is also aiming to make its new model more cost-effective compared to competitors such as OpenAI’s o1, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. The company has previously said that the Nova family of models is at least 75% cheaper than other models available on the Bedrock AI platform.
Amazon also wants its future thinking model to rank in the top 5 in internal tests, using a variety of tests, including math and software development tests.
