open models

OpenAI has made its gpt-oss models, with 120 billion and 20 billion parameters, available for public use on AWS's Bedrock platform, marking the first open model release since GPT-2 in 2019. These models are not entirely open source, as users do not have access to the underlying code or training datasets. AWS's chief evangelist, Danilo Poccia, expressed enthusiasm for the integration of these models, which are designed for coding, scientific analysis, and mathematical reasoning, and can be integrated into business workflows. Analysts note that OpenAI's models provide substantial value compared to competitors, aligning with Amazon's cost-saving strategy. AWS hosts various open models, but Claude from Anthropic was absent from the recent press release, indicating a complex competitive landscape. The addition of OpenAI's models to AWS is seen as a potential step towards deeper collaboration between the two companies.
