1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Bloomberg Tech is alive 2 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: from coast to coast with Caroline Hyde in New York 3 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: and Eva though in San Francisco. 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Tech coming up. We go to AWS 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: we Invent in Las Vegas to discuss the cloud companies, 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: new chips, new models, and new AI agents. Becaus Michael 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: Dell donates an unprecedented six billion dollars aimed at jump 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: starting the investment accounts for twenty five million children in America, 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: and Warner Brothers Discovery receives a new round of bids, 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: with Netflix flashing mostly cash for its offer. We'll have 11 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: the details, but first let's check in on these markets 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: which are flashing green. We actually have a bit of 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: a reprieve after yesterday's sell off. We're back into risk 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: on mode tentatively. So across the benchmarks, we're looking at 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: the NaSTA one hundred nineteen percent of course in video 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: leading then in terms of points, but all of some 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: of the mag seven really dominating. 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: On the day. 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: You're looking at bitcoin, even getting a bit yesterday it 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: was woeful. Today we find some sort of stability where 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: up more than five percent in fact, largely Crypto is 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: in the green. We also turn our attention to some 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: of the key mags seven that we want to look 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: at in terms of their own events, their own announcements. 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 2: And I'm looking at what's happening with Amazon. We're currently 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: training up one point three percent. We're getting a little 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: nudge higher on some new news coming out about its 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: own large language models, about updates of course to its 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: own AI agentic focus. And key has got to be 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: Trainium three all about its chips. 31 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: Let's get straight over to Ed Ludlow. 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: You're in Las Vegas at the reinvent event. 33 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's probably the Trainium three headlines that move the 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: needle right. This is a push forward acceleration of bringing 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 4: the latest generation accelerator to market called Trainium, but useful 36 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 4: in both the training and inference use case, and much 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: as Amazon has done in prygation generations of Trainium, it's 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: talking out the cost and performance metrics of it four 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 4: x the prior generation. On price performance, it was interesting 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 4: when the headline's hit, I mean, we're at one and 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: a half percent on Amazon, a small move lower or 42 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 4: pairing some of the gain on both Google and Nvidia. 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: And this is the story right. You know, Amazon wants 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: to expand the use of Trainium servers beyond one core customer, 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: which is anthropic, and they're giving evidence in this release. 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: We'll get to it later in the day when we 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 4: speak to Matt Garmon in particular of the savings that 48 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: those customers are made using it while also making sure 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: they have capacity that is based in video GPUs and 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 4: of course the open aideal, the AWS has thirty eight 51 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 4: billion dollars of it is predicated on availability of Nvidia. 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: I mean the eye the focus must be so trained 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: on what's just been seemingly a positive thrust for Google 54 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: when it all comes down to its own chips right now. 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, in recent weeks and months when there have been 56 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 4: reports about Google TPU and the idea that Google Cloud 57 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 4: will have a big third party use it, it's moved 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 4: the needle on those shares. What universally right now, the 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: hyperscalers are experience the supply constraints right comply supply constraints 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: where they're basically saying, this is out there in the 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 4: real on Trainium three. It is out there in the 62 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 4: real world. By the way, general availability from today and 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: they've also talked about the pipeline through the Trainium four. 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: But you're right, it's all about TPU, it's all about chips. 65 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 2: It's also about their own innovations when it comes to 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: large language models lest we forget. Yes, they've got an 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: integration of open AI and anthropic Claude, but they've also 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: been movieving the needle on over two. 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, an over two and updated year on version of 70 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: its first kind of in house foundation model, a variant 71 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: of which OMNI can take inputs MTI model inputs of text, video, 72 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: image responding kind. But that's going to be the question 73 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: the story today. You know, AWS is number one in 74 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: cloud and cloud computing through scale, through leveraging infrastructure, but 75 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 4: when does it become number one in AI? You know, 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: not just being a place that hosts others models, but 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: has evidence that its own foundation model is resulting in 78 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: something tangibly useful, particularly for enterprise customers. And I'm pretty 79 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 4: sure that that's what those that have joined the show 80 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 4: today want to talk about. 81 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got so many conversations come up in this show, 82 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: but you've got to be sticking around because we thank you, ed. 83 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: We're coming back to you because Throughout the show we'll 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: have interviews, but at the end we'll have a sit 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: down interview with AWSCO Matt Garmon at three pm Eastern time. Meanwhile, look, 86 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: this is all a story of infrastructure, about big tech 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: companies such as Amazon, but also Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft 88 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: spending heavily on AI with expected capital expenditure forever three 89 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: round eighty billion dollars combined in their current fiscal years. Now, 90 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 2: that's going against big tech's mantra for the past two decades. 91 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: Let's call it. 92 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: We are just more about delivering growth while keeping really 93 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: tight little spending. 94 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: It's a real flip reverse. 95 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Oblimbug's tech equity reporter Carmen ryani Key, 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: and you've all been assessing how investor is tight. The 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: sudden wild capital expenditure. 98 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it has been the talking point and 99 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 5: the thing that we've been focusing on the most with 100 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 5: some of these big companies, and as you said, it 101 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 5: really represents a change from how they've operated over the 102 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 5: last two decades. They really had very capital light businesses 103 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 5: and were able to be very profitable, grow exponentially in 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 5: some ways because of that, and so now having this shift. 105 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: We're seeing investors rewarded on summons and then really punish 106 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 5: it on others. So, you know, Microsoft, we saw you 107 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 5: jump after its latest starting support, but Meta sort of 108 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 5: got hit because Zuckerberg, you know, didn't explain enough about 109 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 5: the return on investment of this spending. The other thing 110 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: that's interesting is that this capital expenditures is a portion 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 5: of revenue have jumped, which to a level that's not 112 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 5: normal for tech companies. So for Microsoft, it's capital expenditures 113 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 5: are now twenty percent of its revenue. And in addition, 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 5: you know, Alphabet and Amazon, these spending to sales ratios 115 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 5: are some of the high in the market. 116 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so we now have to perhaps digest a period 117 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 2: of higher capital expenditure. Were meanwhile worrying about some of 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: the financing that goes on within it, some of the 119 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: circular financing that's been the narrative. But today the market jumps. 120 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 3: Why what are you hearing from the investors you're talking to? 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that last week was very interesting. 122 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 5: I think we're seeing a little bit of buying, some 123 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 5: more optimism and enthusiasm coming back into the market. There's 124 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: a lot you know, in videos CFO was speaking this morning. 125 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 5: There's a there's just a lot of tech news sort 126 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: of coming back into the market that people are getting 127 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 5: excited about. 128 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 3: Well, i'll see if it holds. 129 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: Santa rally upon us potentially come and Ranicky, We so 130 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 2: appreciate your time. Let's talk about the crypto markets, because 131 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: they too are recovering today off that a heavy sell 132 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: of yesterday when bitcoin still as much as eight percent. 133 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at strategy as well. The artist 134 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: formerly known as MicroStrategy, heavy investor in bitcoin gaining some 135 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: support after scrambling to calm its own investors, creating a 136 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: one point four billion dollar reserve to fund dividend and 137 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: interest payments rather than having to potentially sell bitcoin as 138 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: a last resort. And if I've seen a digital finance editor, 139 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: Anna Erera is joining us. What's more from London? Anna, 140 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: why today the did buying. 141 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 6: It's hard to know with crypto, as I'm sure you're 142 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 6: aware of, and it's crazy to think that yesterday we 143 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 6: were down eight percent and thinking of all the macro 144 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 6: condition that might have been leading to that drop. So 145 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 6: you know, we were speaking to traders today and investors, 146 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 6: and it seemed that although the price is up, the 147 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 6: sentiment is still a bit cautious, and volumes aren't as 148 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 6: up as they were before. I think people are sort 149 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 6: of assessing that crypto in reality has been on a 150 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 6: downward spiral of bit since October twelfth, the eleventh, when 151 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 6: the price crashed, And so while today we're a bit up, 152 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 6: in reality, you know, we're still pretty lower than we 153 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 6: were around a month ago when bitcoin reached its record highs. 154 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: I mean, negative bitcoin funding rate is still an anxiety, 155 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: extreme fear levels with coin market caps, fear and greed. 156 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: There's still a lot of comfort needed to an investor 157 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: base that's been beaten up, particularly the retail trade who 158 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: have tried to gain exposure not just by owning crypto, 159 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: but by owning crypto related assets such as what leveraged 160 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: bets on MicroStrategy now called Strategy and it talked to 161 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: us about how much retail of hurt here as well 162 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: as institutional. 163 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 6: Yes, obviously we know that people were trying to retail 164 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 6: investor are trying to get exposure into bitcoin and crypto 165 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 6: through buying ETFs. Thatt, we're supposed to strategy or strategy 166 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 6: stock itself, and that's fallen dramatically over the past year, 167 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 6: and so you know they've been hurting. But at the 168 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 6: same time we've been trying to wait to see if 169 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 6: more institutional buyers will come in and offset that. But 170 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 6: it seems to be from what we're hearing, a sort 171 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 6: of weight and see mode, partly waiting until the FED 172 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 6: decision next week. So it's kind of in a way, 173 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 6: same old with crypto. One day it goes ninety percent, 174 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 6: the next thaying it's a five percent. The asset class 175 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 6: seems to be maturing and there's more ways to invest 176 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 6: in it, but maybe not much has changed. 177 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: In Bergana or Era. 178 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: Always great to have you, Thank you very much, and 179 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: stay Withloomberg because there's a conversation coming up you won't 180 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: want to miss if you're in crypto Fondly Strategy President 181 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: CEO coming up in the next hour on Bloomberg Crypto. 182 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: Elsewhere in that ecosystem, not all is gaining support. We're 183 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: watching shares of American Bitcoin Corp. Look at that forty 184 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: four percent at one point down fifty percent. A bitcoin 185 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: minor which counts Eric Trump as a co founder and 186 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: chief strategy officer, seeing multiple trading halts amid the volatility 187 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: now coming up, we'll be joined by Colleen Aubrey, Senior 188 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: and Vice President of Applied AI Solutions over at AWS. 189 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: We are live from the Companies we Invent conference in 190 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: Las Vegas. 191 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Tech. 192 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 4: Good morning from Las Vegas. So let's talk about some 193 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: of the announcements out from AWS. Colleen Aubrey is Senior 194 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: vice president of AWS, Applied AI Solutions and clean You 195 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: basically work with the full spectrum of the smallest startups 196 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 4: to the biggest enterprise customers that AWS has and the 197 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: public sector, and it's distilling it as far down as 198 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 4: I can. You basically help them to take technology and 199 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 4: innovate make whatever they do better. 200 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 7: Yeah, the mission I'm on is really to put AI 201 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 7: into the hands of the business on a day to 202 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 7: day basis and really make it work for their business 203 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 7: in production every day, helping them to deliver better experiences 204 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 7: to their customers. 205 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 4: We have a new generation of AWS Silicon and server design, 206 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 4: We have a new generation of Nova model, and we 207 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 4: have frontier agents. Right and I think you probably heard 208 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: me at the top of the show, but I think 209 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 4: the big question about AWS Reinvent is what is it 210 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 4: in this year's offering that takes aws beyond being the 211 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 4: sort of number one cloud computing platform for capacity to 212 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: giving something tangible, useful that can improve a company's own technology. 213 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, two areas that I'd like to talk about specifically 214 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 7: for me personally, one of my products is Amazon Connect 215 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 7: and this started as a contact center application, but today 216 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 7: you know, I see it really as an agentic product 217 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 7: that's actually looking at whole customer experience. And so for me, 218 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 7: this is where we're putting our infrastructure, our silicon, our models, 219 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 7: and now today like bringing that all together in a 220 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 7: product that can work for businesses. So we launched twenty 221 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 7: nine new features on Sunday we announced that, and I 222 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 7: would say there's four key gentic capabilities that come with that. 223 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 7: The first is actually AI Voice and allowing customers to 224 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 7: interact in a very natural way using Novasonic and having 225 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 7: agents actually resolve issues for them on the behalf in 226 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 7: the background. The second is actually putting AI to work 227 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 7: as a teammate next to customer service representatives, helping them 228 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 7: to actually get tasked on complete the paperwork the processes, 229 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 7: provide recommendations, and help them really have a better view 230 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 7: of the customer so that the conversation they have with 231 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 7: customers is much much richer. The third area is actually 232 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 7: combining what I call clickstream, which is the path that 233 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 7: customers will take through websites and profiles, to be able 234 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 7: to present a much more specific recommendation and what a 235 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 7: next step won't be for a customer. And finally, you know, 236 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 7: one of the big issues for companies is sort of 237 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 7: confidently putting AI to work in their business. And in 238 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 7: this case, we've added observability where you can expect, how 239 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 7: inspect how an AI is reasoning, how it's thinking, in 240 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 7: what tools it's using, so companies can really observe AI 241 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 7: in the same way they would think about the people 242 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 7: and their business working with customers. 243 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: I want to go to point number two. You use 244 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 4: the word teammates, yes, but you've in the past talked 245 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: about a hybrid workforce, people and agents. A lot of 246 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: what's come out since Sunday Night seems to reflect that 247 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 4: you want to increase the number of useful agents. That also, internally, 248 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 4: we can talk a little bit about what you're encouraging 249 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: Amazon teams to do, but the idea is that that 250 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: workforces will type should get comfortable working alongside agentic AI. 251 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 8: Yeah. 252 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 7: I see a future where actually everyone is managing a 253 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 7: team of AI agents. And I think our frontier agents 254 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 7: with software developments, sec ops and so DevOps and security 255 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 7: is sort of one of our first moves in that direction. 256 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 7: Where you actually have a teammate with a developer who's 257 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 7: able to address complex problems, able to work over hours and. 258 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 9: Days, be able to solve for whole. 259 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 7: Objectives, and to scale with that person, that the role changes. 260 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 7: I think we all are managing AI teammates, a team 261 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: of people that are all of AI, people that are 262 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 7: out able to we can delegate to, we can inspect 263 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 7: what they're doing, we can iterate with them, provide feedback, 264 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 7: and for me, that's where I think we end up going. 265 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 7: I think we're clearly moving that way in the customer 266 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 7: service direction, and I think the developer experience is also 267 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 7: clearly moving that direction. 268 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: You're in a leadership position at AWS, but you have 269 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 4: been with Amazon broadly entering your twenty first year. You're 270 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 4: part of the S team, the leadership team generally internally 271 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: within Amazon's many arms. Is this like, particularly in the 272 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: context of the technology you've released here Reinvent twenty twenty five, 273 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: Is this at a stage where Amazon teams are dog 274 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 4: fooding this or it's just inherent the use of technology. 275 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 4: You want your own teams to be. I think AI native. 276 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true, and I think what I observe within 277 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 7: Amazon certainly we're all very keen to get our hands 278 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 7: on our new frontier agents, and that is something we've 279 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 7: had in beta internally, and I think teams are very 280 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 7: excited to use that in production. We use connect within 281 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 7: our own customer service teams, our seller support teams, our 282 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 7: AWS support teams, for example. So we continue like to 283 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 7: iterate and learn from that. And I would say broadly 284 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 7: across Amazon, we've really tried to sort of embrace the chaos, 285 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 7: to put AI in the hands of every person in 286 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 7: the company and to see what they can do, how 287 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 7: they can transform how they work, what they learn. And 288 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 7: so you have a lot of teams sort of grassroots, 289 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 7: sort of trying to solve for what is the new 290 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,359 Speaker 7: way of working using AI, and some of those experiments 291 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 7: don't lead in newhere, and some lead and a place 292 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 7: that's really meaningful. And then you have sort of this 293 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 7: social contagion that happens that people learn from each other. 294 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: Okay, aws number one in cloud computing and in the 295 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 4: sense of scale infrastructure deployments, is it number one in AI? 296 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 7: I think we have all the pieces in place and 297 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 7: we're well on our way. We're very, very focused, and 298 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 7: what I really like about our strategy is that we're 299 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 7: working all the way, all the way, the full stack, 300 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 7: you know, from clean energy, chips, data centers around the world, 301 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 7: bedrock with real great selection, including our own models. And 302 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 7: I think Roehet's making really fast progress on that. And 303 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 7: I think for Swami and I really trying to put 304 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 7: those all of those pieces to work where out of 305 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 7: the box a business can get value. 306 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: We've got a conversation with Swami coming up in a bit. 307 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: Colleen Aubrey, SVP of Applied AI Solutions to AWS, Thank 308 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 4: you so much, Carrot, what. 309 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: A great conversation. Let's stick with Amazon as well, because 310 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: the company, which is vast it plans to offer deliveries 311 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: of hundreds of house items, including some fresh groceries or 312 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: over the counter medicines within just thirty minutes and test program. 313 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: But it's begun in Philadelphia, we stand will begin there 314 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: and its home city of Seattle now coming up the 315 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: Dells make an unprecedented six point twenty five billion dollar 316 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: donation to the Kids of America or on that. 317 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: Next, this is Bloomberg Tech. 318 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: Michael and Susan Dell are donating six point twenty five 319 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: billion dollars, gifting twenty five million children in America two 320 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars each in an effort to jumpstart 321 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: their investment accounts for the future. The proceeds build on 322 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: the Invest America Initiative or Trump accounts as they're known, 323 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: which we'll see one thousand dollars for every child born 324 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty eight. Let's talk 325 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: about all of it with bost Tom Maloney and how 326 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: unprecedented is this? This SI is a philanthropic gift. 327 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 10: It's pretty unprecedtentded I mean, there've been big philanthropic gifts before, 328 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 10: but something going to cover twenty five million children in 329 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 10: the cover really is pretty unheard of. And a gift 330 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 10: to go through the federal government. I mean, he's donating 331 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 10: the money to the US Department of Treasury. That's pretty 332 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 10: unusual too, So it's quite an unprecedented gift. 333 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: Let's go back to what all of this is sort 334 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: of sitting alongside, which is invest in America. We sort 335 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: of saw that roundtable alongside other CEOs, a lot of 336 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: them tech who have been thinking about how to get 337 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: money into the hands of children to invest in the 338 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: longer term. 339 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 4: Tom, that's right. 340 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, those were created as part of the One Big 341 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 10: Beautiful Bill, as you mentioned, one thousand dollars for kids 342 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 10: born between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight. And 343 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 10: what Della is doing is kind of covering the gap 344 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 10: for children ten under who aren't covered under that program 345 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 10: and giving them two hundred and fifty dollars to be 346 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 10: used for things like college or startup, starting up their 347 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 10: own business, or home deposit when they're eighteen or older. 348 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: Now, Michael Dell and his family and he's the eleventh 349 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: wealthiest person in the world, but it's other tech moneyed 350 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 2: people who have been putting this initiative to work. And 351 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: I think about really Brad Gerstner, who has been the 352 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: driving force initially behind what is this sort of invest 353 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: America outreach. He set it up back in twenty twenty three. 354 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 2: Of course we know him from Ultimeter. 355 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right. He's been working on this for a 356 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 10: couple of years. As you mentioned it predates Trump obviously, 357 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 10: you know, the name Trump Accounts certainly got his attention 358 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 10: and I think helped put it into the One Big 359 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 10: Beautiful Bill. But yeah, it's kind of an issue that 360 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 10: Democrats and Republicans have been interested in something like this, 361 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 10: a product like this that gets everyday Americans invested in 362 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 10: the stock market from a very young age. It's kind 363 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 10: of a bipartisan issue. 364 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And Brad over at Altameter, he's been saying that 365 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: this is a platform for every company in America to 366 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: think about how they reward employee's own children. 367 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 3: But it doesn't need to just be a company. 368 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: It could be mums and dad's, churches, synagogue's. Many to 369 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 2: be putting it aside in a sort of tax efficient way. 370 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 9: Tom. 371 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 3: What's interesting is, of. 372 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: Course Dell Stock has moved on all of this, and 373 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 2: this comes after a truth social post. 374 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 375 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 10: Dell stock was up about four percent last time I looked. 376 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 10: Trump obviously singling out Michael and Susan Dell for their 377 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 10: donation this morning, he was seemingly very happy about it. 378 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 10: And you know, when Trump tweets about something, it tends 379 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 10: to move stuff in the market. So we're kind of 380 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 10: saying that I don't know if it's going to last, 381 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 10: but there you go. 382 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: And of course that contributes to the networth of the 383 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: Dell family. On the back of that, Bloomberg's Tom Maloney, 384 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 2: it's been fascinating talking to you, Thank you very much. Indeed, 385 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: let's turn now to Warner Brothers Discovery. The company has 386 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: received a new round of bids, with one from Netflix 387 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: consisting of a mostly cash offers, according to sources. For more, 388 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Michelle Davis, who covers M and A Immediate joins us. 389 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 3: Now, so can we. 390 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 2: Break down how these is starting to note because they're 391 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: going to be sweetened. 392 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 11: They've been sweetened, yes, so the bidding is heating up. 393 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 11: Yesterday Warner Brothers had asked for sweetened offers from all 394 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 11: of the companies, so we know they received offers from 395 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 11: Netflix mostly cash. That was a big surprise because people 396 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 11: were expecting it to be stock. You know, Netflix's stock 397 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 11: has been doing pretty well. They have great currency, but 398 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 11: they're also an investment grade company, so they can afford 399 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 11: to raise a lot of money. We hear they're in 400 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 11: the market talking to banks about tens of billions of 401 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 11: dollars for a bridgeland. So there's Netflix, there's Comcast which 402 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 11: has also bid it only wants to streaming, and the 403 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 11: studios of Warner Brothers similar to Netflix. We're still trying 404 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 11: to glean the details of that offer, but we have 405 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 11: heard that it likely includes a little more stock than 406 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 11: the cash offered by Netflix. And finally, Paramount, the one 407 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 11: who kicked all of this off. They're the only bidders 408 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 11: who have actually made a play for the whole company. 409 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 11: We're hearing that their offers also is also completely cash. 410 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 11: They have backing from Larry Ellison, David Ellison, you know, 411 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 11: some of the rich, wealthiest people on Earth and Middle 412 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 11: East earn money as well as Apollo er putting in 413 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 11: some of the financing for their offer. 414 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: And it feels as though that's been the narrative that 415 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: the Edison bid might be one that is more approved 416 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: of by the administration. But are there any blocks? Are 417 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: there any issues from a regulatory perspective for Paramounts guide 418 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: downs just getting any big O or any of these 419 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: players getting any BIGA. 420 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 11: Yes, So the Warner Brothers board is really I mean, 421 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 11: they are in a position where they have lots to assess, 422 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 11: but it's not apples to apples, because they're evaluating, you know, 423 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 11: a bid for the whole company in cash, a bid 424 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 11: that might include stock and cash but only for part 425 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 11: and then you know other structures that are unclear for 426 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 11: Paramount and comcasts. There's clearly lots of synergies that they 427 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 11: could achieve by combining the companies, but there's a view 428 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 11: that doing that, you know, to achieve those synergies, they 429 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 11: would cut a lot of jobs. I mean, maybe thousands 430 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 11: of jobs at the studios by combining these studios Netflix 431 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 11: Their argument might be, we're not going to do something 432 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 11: like that, and so it'll play better, you know, with 433 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 11: labor unions and regulators. But Netflix also already has a 434 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 11: lot of power. So it's a bit wildcard to see 435 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 11: how the regulators are going to view that. 436 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: Yea, many are going to say, is YouTube count being 437 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: counted in the numbers? How we think about this from 438 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: a regulatory perspective, from a state and federal perspective, timeline, any. 439 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: Sort of idea. 440 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 11: We're hearing that they want to get this sorted before 441 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 11: the end of the year, and that makes some sense 442 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 11: because for the banks who are underwriting the loans, they 443 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 11: don't want the loans on their books at your end, 444 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 11: because it's going to cost them a lot more money, 445 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 11: which means the bidders won't be able to pay as 446 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 11: much for these assets. So we've heard that there's a 447 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 11: deadline of before the holidays. A decision could be made 448 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 11: as early as this week. You know, the binding offers 449 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 11: are in, so that means Warner Brothers could move quickly, 450 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 11: but they're also giving themselves room to ask for more bids. 451 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 11: You know, later on this month, CHERL. 452 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: Davis will be across the story. We appreciate it. 453 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 9: Now. 454 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 3: Coming up, we're going to be going back to. 455 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 2: AWS Reinvent the conferences on in Las Vegas. We're gonna 456 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 2: sit down with Swami sieve us of Romanian, vice president 457 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: of a Gentki for that company. 458 00:22:52,520 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 3: This is pretty big tech. Welcome back to Bloomberg Tech. 459 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 2: We check in on these markets that are losing a 460 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: bit of their earlier esteem. We're still holding on to 461 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 2: three ten percent higher, but remember we're up more than 462 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: a percentage point in earlier trading. Is in video perhaps 463 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: loses some of its edge in terms of points perspective. 464 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: Apple leading the charge right now, Intel as well. I'm 465 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: looking at Bitcoin though, still holding onto its games. Best 466 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: day since May. We're now at the highest level and 467 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: ninety nine since the end of November, so a few 468 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: days we're up four point percent as we see a 469 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: little bit of shifting in sentiment. Let's look at a 470 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: key name that has shifted in sentiment. It was beaten 471 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: up in November. Now we're still up two percent. Let's 472 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: call it. We're rolling over somewhat. But Pan Andeer, in 473 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: another AI names, have seen a bit of love today. 474 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: It seems as though Pan Andeer could be a trillion 475 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: dollar company. That's what Dan I've been saying on the day. 476 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: But really he's looking at big Tech and MAG seven 477 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: to add twenty to twenty five percent in terms of 478 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: share growth for twenty twenty six. 479 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: But for now, we return to one of. 480 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: The key MAG seven in that pile, and it is 481 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: Amazon and it's Aws. Even is upon us in Las 482 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: Vegas and take it away. 483 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you very much. 484 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: Karas talk more about Amazon's agentic plans with Swami Siva Supermanian. 485 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 4: He's vice president for a Genta ki at AWS and 486 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: you've basically brought out and released three from what you 487 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 4: call frontier agents. 488 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 9: That's right, across. 489 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 4: An autonomous agent security DevOps and considering where aw sits 490 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 4: in the market and everyone that attends reinvent, probably the 491 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 4: question most people would have is if I'm a large 492 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 4: enterprise and I have multiple teams, multiple deaths, doing multiple things, 493 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: how do I deploy three of these frontier agents? 494 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 9: Yeah? 495 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 8: Father MEAs out of it, saying here at daw As 496 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 8: we are of building the foundation for billions of agents, 497 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 8: and that's an understatement. So what do we launch with 498 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 8: these frontier agents? Is essentially a new category of agents, 499 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 8: because while so much our activity is happening in agents, 500 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 8: there are historically being more assistance to humans. And while 501 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 8: we deploy it, even with an Amazon Christen sew thousand 502 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 8: set developers to help with software development, we were actually 503 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 8: wanting to push the envelopement being able to actually do 504 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 8: a lot more where they are actually autonomous, where you 505 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 8: don't need humans to constantly steer them, and they are 506 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 8: massively scalable and they can run along. 507 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 4: To be autonomous, they need to have an end goal, 508 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 4: that's right, How does that work? So it's a case 509 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 4: of saying, by the way you use the term AI assistant, Yeah, 510 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 4: what we're now really talking about is AI co worker. 511 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 9: That's right, and that is the key thing here. 512 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 8: It's just like what these frontier agents are doing is 513 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 8: completely transforming how software is getting done in these teams. 514 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 8: So much activity happens primarily in like software development, but 515 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 8: now these agentic teammates they show up as another teammate 516 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 8: for software development. They pull up actually jobs from like 517 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 8: guitar task and start coding and clearing backlog. And if 518 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 8: you're in the middle of the night actually getting page 519 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 8: to deal with an issue happening with your website, this 520 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 8: agent first takes the first page and says, oh, let 521 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 8: me look into what's happening and unpack and then find 522 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 8: out the root costs so that you can actually quickly 523 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 8: resolve it and go back to bed, like I've been 524 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 8: on call and I know I could use that help 525 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 8: and be proactive so that those issues don't happen. And 526 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 8: third is actually a security teammate, so it shows up again. 527 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 8: And most of security has always been about afterthought. One 528 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 8: of the things we are changing the game here is 529 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 8: actually meeting developers even before they write a single line 530 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 8: of code when they're designing software. We catch them right 531 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 8: there and say here are the things you should be 532 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 8: aware of. And when they write code, we say, oh, 533 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 8: don't do that, do this and actually do penetration testing. 534 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 9: All before shipping. 535 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 8: So now you can view it as like you have 536 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 8: the best in class developer, OPS and security engineers showing 537 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 8: up as virtual teammates for every. 538 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 4: Software you say best in class? What evidence does AWS 539 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 4: have that in real world deployments? Running these three agents 540 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 4: in parallel autonomously has a clear benefit. Yeah, their efficiency, productivity. 541 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 4: What data can you share? 542 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll give actually a couple of examples. 543 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 8: One is in the DevOps agent that we launched, we 544 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 8: ran it across thousands of escalations that happened this year alone, 545 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 8: on incidents and so forth. These agents actually correctly identified 546 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 8: the root cost eighty six percent of time. 547 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 9: That is like really impresses eighty six eighty six eighty 548 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 9: six percent. 549 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 8: And the second one is Commonwealth Bank of Australia. 550 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 9: They actually have a huge cloud. 551 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 8: Infrastructure running across thousand, seven hundred accounts and they put 552 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 8: this DevOps agent test to test and for a very 553 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 8: complex networking stack to debug it. And what they said, 554 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 8: what did to take them? Like our Diba this was 555 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 8: able to do it in minutes and these are just 556 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 8: few simple examples, same thing. What's going on at security agent. 557 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 8: Smart Bug is a great photo company and there I'm 558 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 8: a big customer, and they are completely automating their security 559 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 8: operations altogether using like AWS Security Agent. And these are 560 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 8: all the beginning of how this is going to change 561 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 8: the game in. 562 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 9: A big way. 563 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 8: Because what do you want these agentic teammates to be 564 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 8: is always be there and you delegates on the boring 565 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 8: drudgery associated with like ops and security and backlog on 566 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 8: developments so that developers are empowered to be extremely creative 567 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 8: and you will start seeing fighter ten x improvement in 568 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 8: productivity in a big way. 569 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 4: To reach out its three agents, Kero is software development. 570 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: You have the AWS Security Agent, the AWS DevOps agent. 571 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 4: They are designed to run for hours autonomously. To sum 572 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 4: that disconcerting, right, And I go back to my other question, 573 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 4: how much concern is there in the last segment Clean 574 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 4: talk to me about observability, understanding in real time what's doing. 575 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: But that sounds to me like it's human supervision. 576 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 9: It's a great question. 577 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 8: I mean, this is the nuance and the art of balance. 578 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 8: We had to do one. You want these agents to 579 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 8: be autonomous and massively scalable, but you also want them 580 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,239 Speaker 8: to not go off the rails. So first we are 581 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 8: built it with the right guard rails. And second even 582 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 8: a spart a development workflow, these agents can go actually 583 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 8: take a goal from a developer to say, hey, go 584 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 8: work on upgrading. 585 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 9: This piece of code to the latest systyk and then 586 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 9: start upgrading. 587 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 8: But then as a final step, it might send it 588 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 8: for a code review to the human and say take 589 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 8: a look and make sure I'm okay. And once they 590 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 8: say I'm okay, I think it's fine, or they can 591 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 8: even configure it to say if it pass us all 592 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 8: these tests, you're good to ship it. So that you 593 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 8: have built in s either through human or automated tests. 594 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 8: And these are the kind of things now we are 595 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,479 Speaker 8: able to actually innovate with the customers as well. And 596 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 8: even there we have done some pure innovation like introduced 597 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 8: automated mathematically provable property based testing, so that means now 598 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 8: developers can specify their goal and we can mathematically prove 599 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 8: with things like kiro that whatever it is generating can 600 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 8: be tested exactly that way and it's accurate. So that 601 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 8: is like another game changer. 602 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 4: SWAM we see the supermanian vice president for a gens 603 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 4: Ki at aws three new Frontier agents carry We're talking 604 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 4: about here in Las Vegas, back. 605 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: To you, loving it back here in New York. Ed's 606 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: time for talking tech. First up, Apple's head of AI 607 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: John Jian Andrea, Well, he's coming down with mans to 608 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 2: lead the company entirely in the spring. The move caps 609 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: are pretty tumultuous tenure that included a fumbled entry into 610 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: General's AI. Apple won't be directly replacing Jian Andrea, instead 611 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: opting to break up the AIT plus Samsung It's unveiled 612 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: its first trifle smartphone. It's called Galaxy Z Trifle and 613 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: the device contains two hinges allow it to transform into 614 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 2: a larger tablet like device. The phone is set to 615 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: be released first in South Korea on December the twelfth, 616 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: with a price of about four hundred and fifty dollars, 617 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: and the US Commerce Department has agreed to invest as 618 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: much as one hundred and fifty million dollars into x Light. 619 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 2: It's a chip startup where former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger 620 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: serves as executive chairman. So the latest moved by the 621 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: Trump administration to bring chip making capabilities back to the 622 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: United States. Now coming up, guess while we go back 623 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: to AWS in Vegas. This time it's a conversation. 624 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 3: With Sanjay Back to Cone. 625 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: Nas chief Product and Technology Officer is a blueber tech. 626 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: Luma AI, known for its flagship creative product, dream Machine 627 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: video generator, taking a step forward in global expansion with 628 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 2: opening its first international office and it's in London. This 629 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: follows its recent nine hundred million dollar Series C investment, 630 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: which was led by Humane and Met Jane Is with 631 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 2: US co founder CEO of Luma AI and so. 632 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: Pleased to join you. 633 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: I can't wait to get into reasoning video models, into 634 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: the future of world models. 635 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 3: But first am it? Why London? 636 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 12: We have a huge pipeline. Actually, by the way, thanks 637 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 12: for having me. I'm very excited to be here. We 638 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 12: have a huge pipeline of researchers, engineers from Europe and 639 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 12: also deep Mind that want to join luma And also 640 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 12: London is the gateway for the business in Europe as 641 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 12: well as Middle East, so it seems to be the 642 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 12: right place to have our second office outside of Palo 643 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 12: Alto and Bay Area. So yeah, today is our launch 644 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 12: of the London office. 645 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: I have a feeling demos hasibus over at deep Mind 646 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: and the AI labs at Google we'll be having is 647 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 2: is pricked by that, amit? So why would people currently 648 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: working or having been trained at deep Mind and the 649 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: like want a jump ship to help build Ray three 650 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 2: your reasoning video model. 651 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a great question. So Luma already 652 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 12: has actually a deep bench of researchers from from n 653 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 12: video from from deep Mind, from you know, schools like MIT, 654 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 12: Stanford and Berkeley. And the reason that these incredibly exceptional 655 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 12: people actually join Luma is because, one, while it is 656 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 12: a very very well resourced AGI lab, we are only 657 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 12: about one hundred and fifty people, so we get to 658 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 12: do and get to have resources per person that, like, 659 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 12: you know, it's unheard of in the rest of the 660 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 12: industry actually. And second, Luma is so ultra aligned on 661 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 12: this one goal, which is to build multi model AGI. 662 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 12: There's actually no second There is no second project happening 663 00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 12: at Luma. 664 00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 9: This is what we do. 665 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 12: So people researchers, engineers and product people who believe strongly 666 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 12: in this mission, Luma is the best place in the 667 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 12: world for them to be. 668 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: Looking at some of the amazing video that you create 669 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: I can see how it goes into the creative sphere, 670 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: into advertising and the like, but it feels as though 671 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 2: this model, these world models, has moved to perhaps more 672 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: physical AI applications must open up different industries. 673 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 12: Yeah so, I mean video and video is actually the 674 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 12: path to AGI. And let me tell you just very 675 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 12: briefly why that is the case. Language gives us reasoning, 676 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 12: and language gives us the human abstraction that is necessary. 677 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 12: Video shows us the entire universe. Right, you know how 678 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 12: things behave, how water behaves, how the laws of physics work. 679 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 12: Then you combine them together. Then video, audio and language 680 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 12: together is basically a chance to build a universal simulator. 681 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 12: So one application of that, as you point out, is 682 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 12: obviously for entertainment and to generate video to automate or 683 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 12: or to to make digital the act of creating video. 684 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 12: But in addition to that, it is the gateway to 685 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 12: be able to build actually general purpose robotics. That is 686 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 12: the second area that we are very deeply focused on 687 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 12: and now starting to build out a team and the 688 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 12: research area of that, and we have if we want 689 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 12: to have any shot at building general purpose robots, then 690 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 12: the only way that happens is by giving them this 691 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 12: level of general understanding of the universe so that they can, 692 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 12: you know, reason in their head. They can actually simulate 693 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 12: every scenario right in their head, like, Okay, what would 694 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 12: happen if I do this? What would happen if I 695 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 12: do something else? This level of learning and reasoning is essential, 696 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 12: so video as it advances and as we scale these models, 697 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 12: they will not only get better and better, they will 698 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 12: get more accurate in simulating physics. And this is the 699 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 12: path to building physical intelligence. And that's why Luma's model 700 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 12: mission is to build multimodel agi that can generate, understand, 701 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 12: and operate in the physical world. And that is the 702 00:35:59,239 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 12: end goal. 703 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 2: What is the biggest blocker to that or the thing 704 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: that keeps you up Because at the moment, you've got 705 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 2: the money, Boy, do you have the money nine hundred 706 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: million raised, But we've also got promise of compute coming 707 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 2: from Saudi Arabia. 708 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 3: Is it about compute? 709 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 2: Is it more about the talent that is what you 710 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 2: need to push through to get to your mission. 711 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 12: Yeah, So there are two really important things for LUMA. 712 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 12: Over the last couple of years, we worked tirelessly to 713 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 12: solve the research problem for like you know, really really 714 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 12: great video. Now the next frontier for us are these 715 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 12: omni models that are able to like you know, reason 716 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 12: an audio, video, language text together. So the research is 717 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 12: like you know, the first one that we pay mental 718 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 12: amount of attention to now to solve the research of course, 719 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 12: you know, people and really really brilliant people is one 720 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 12: of those bottlencks. So we hire from some of the 721 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 12: best places. See, we don't need thousands of people. We 722 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 12: need like, you know, maybe two hundred or three hundred 723 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 12: really really brilliant people to work on these problems. So yeah, 724 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 12: that's that's the first one. The talent and great aligned people, 725 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 12: that is the first one. Second is obviously compute. So 726 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 12: alongside with the SERIOC announcement, we announced that we will 727 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 12: build with Humane and collaboration with Humane, a two gigawat 728 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 12: compute cluster that is the largest compute build out in 729 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 12: our space of world models and video models and like 730 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 12: you know, this kind of physical AI. And it is 731 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 12: also one of the largest compute built out in AI period, right, 732 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 12: So compute is one of the other things that is 733 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 12: a big limitation. Ultimately, multi model AI will be a 734 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 12: superset of llms, will be a superset of the AI 735 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 12: we have today, it will require more compute than llms 736 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 12: do right now. So compute is the second very important 737 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 12: input to our business that, like you know, we are 738 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 12: working to not only shore up but solve in a 739 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 12: way we can serve these models economically to a lot 740 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 12: of people. 741 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 2: I mean, Jane, come back and tell us how you'll 742 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 2: continuing on that mission. 743 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: Go found a CEO of Luma AI. 744 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 9: Thank you. 745 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 2: Coming up, we're talking more about AI and infrastructure. We're 746 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 2: going to aws's event in Vegas. Were a conversation with 747 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 2: Sanjay Blackta Conde, NAS chief product and technology officer is 748 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 2: a blue big. 749 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 4: Tech Sanday back to Conde, NAS chief Product and Technology 750 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 4: officer joins us from AWS reinvent in Las Vegas. You're 751 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 4: kind of bucking a trend that we've been talking about 752 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 4: throughout the year in the context of AI. Actually on 753 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 4: prem has kind of been back when AI is being 754 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,959 Speaker 4: run at the edge. You're going the other way from 755 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 4: on prem, relying heavily on AWS. 756 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 9: The rationale, well. 757 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 13: We are actually users of AI. We are not like 758 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 13: some of these LLLM companies that are creating and training 759 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 13: their own models. Although we have trained models in the past, 760 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 13: but at a much smaller scale. So for us, investing 761 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 13: in infrastructure and building out data centers for the size 762 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 13: of our operation doesn't make sense. 763 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 4: The work with AWS is focused on deli ring personalized content, right, 764 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 4: And is that at the foundation model level you know 765 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 4: AWS out with Nova to today, or it's just simply 766 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 4: that you're leveraging their scale the multitude of data platforms 767 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 4: they have. 768 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, for that particular use case, we're actually just leveraging 769 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 13: their infrastructure and scale. We've built all the personalization models 770 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 13: ourselves and we've trained them in house, and we've been 771 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 13: doing that for the last probably three four years, long 772 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 13: before LLMS became a thing. We've had our own data 773 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 13: science team and we've been training models. So we use 774 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 13: our own homegrown models for most of the personalization and 775 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 13: recommendation workload. 776 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 4: So here in lies the question of AWS reinvent AWS 777 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 4: number one in cloud computing, but they want to do more, 778 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 4: They want to be number one in AI. You know, 779 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 4: their own foundation models, the agentic tools that they release today. 780 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 4: What would it take from Amazon in terms of the 781 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 4: utility of that technology for you to rely on them 782 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 4: more heavily. 783 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 13: Well, actually, for some of the generative use cases you 784 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 13: know that are LLLM based. We are using Amazon Bedrock. 785 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 13: You know, we have a contracts management, rights clearance system 786 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 13: that we just launched. We are using Amazon's Bedrock capability 787 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 13: for some of our moderation AI based moderation of user 788 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 13: generated content. So we're looking more and more now to 789 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,280 Speaker 13: towards using out of the box capabilities that Amazon provides 790 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 13: rather than build and train our own models, which we. 791 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 9: Used to do in the past. 792 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 13: I think the need for that is becoming less and less. 793 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 4: Conde has a relationship with open AI. Condy was one 794 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 4: of the first to make a deal with open Ai 795 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 4: early days, it seems. But how is that progressing? 796 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 9: That's going well. 797 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 13: Actually, we're starting to use chat GPT quite widely within 798 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 13: the enterprise internally, yes, and for external use case. We've 799 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 13: actually launched an AI based recipe search on bond Appetite 800 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 13: on our on our website, and also it's going to 801 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 13: come out in our app which allows customers to go 802 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 13: in and do natural language search and also be able 803 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 13: to modify the it has peace according to their taste. 804 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 13: So that's the first use case we are looking at 805 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 13: others with opening I as well. 806 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 4: The broad theme of the program today here at AWS 807 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 4: has been about companies of all sizes moving from using 808 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 4: AI assistance internally to what awso call the AI co worker, 809 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 4: you know, a hybrid workforce of people and energentic AI. 810 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 4: Conde has done layoffs in the past two years, financial years. 811 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 4: How much has that been about AI tools changing productivity, 812 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 4: eliminating certain roles, changing certain roles. 813 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 13: Well, I don't think it's most of it has been 814 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 13: about AI. Actually, some of it, you know, especially in tech. 815 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 13: You know, we've had we use extensively, We use AI 816 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 13: for our work work on a day to day basis, 817 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 13: which eliminates the need for some roles. We can do 818 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 13: more things with fewer people. But other than that, across 819 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 13: the organization, we've not really had any AI based impacts. 820 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 4: Got to ask in a different part of the Amazon universe. 821 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 4: I've been experimenting at home with Alexa and Alexa plus. 822 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 4: Do we get some kind of Conde nas Alexa integration. 823 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 9: Well, that's work going on there. 824 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 13: We have actually already integrated with Amazon Alexa. 825 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 9: So how does that work available? 826 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 13: So you know, you can query and you can get content, 827 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 13: you know, read out to you from some of our 828 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 13: publications not all so, but I think it's pretty cool. 829 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 13: We should try it out. 830 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 4: At the heart of that question is something a bit 831 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 4: more existential. Conday sees itself more as maybe entertainment, and 832 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,399 Speaker 4: if you look at the revenue streams very different from 833 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 4: saying you're a news organization. Just explain how you see 834 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 4: this company transitioning right now? 835 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think they're definitely in the entertainment space because 836 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 13: if you look at our brands, you know we mostly 837 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 13: cover leisure, fashion, lifestyle. We're not a daily news outlet, 838 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 13: so people don't come to us on an everyday basis. 839 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 13: So we are competing with other entertainment outlets, whether it 840 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 13: is you know, streaming media like Netflix or Hulu or 841 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 13: Amazon Prime, or social media you know TikTok and Instagram 842 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 13: and others. So people have limited spare time, so we 843 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 13: are competing for a slice of that. So we definitely 844 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 13: have to do way better in terms of our personalization 845 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 13: and user experience and also our great journalism that we have, 846 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 13: I think is what is going to take. 847 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 4: Us forward, Sunjay, in the year ahead, what's the one 848 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 4: big change you want to make on the technology side, 849 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 4: the one thing you're still yet to do be AI 850 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 4: or something else? 851 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 13: Yes, I think it's mostly definitely around AI. We have 852 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 13: a pretty solid data infrastructure that we've built on Amazon 853 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 13: with data bricks, and our next task is really to 854 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 13: figure out how do we vectorize all of our content 855 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 13: and make it readily available in real time to lllams. 856 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 13: I think that is probably our number one challenge. 857 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 4: Sanjay Bakta Conde Nas, thank you so much for joining 858 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 4: us here in Las Vegas. 859 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 9: Carry back to you. 860 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: Fascinating set of conversations across the gamut of all things 861 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: AI and entertainment edge. 862 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 3: We thank you. 863 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 2: You got so much more coming up that does it 864 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 2: this edition of Bloomberg Tech, But do stick around.
