Amazon is almost ready to show off its Olympus AI model.

According to The Information, the retail giant might be unveiling its flagship LLM at its AWS re:Invent conference next week. The AI model can reportedly analyze images and videos and find specific scenes via text prompts, such as a winning basketball shot.

The AI should help Amazon reduce its dependency on Anthropic’s Claude, after pouring $8 billion into the startup.

Google appeals Epic’s antitrust win.

As expected, the search giant is seeking to overturn a ruling that would force it to overhaul the Play Store. Google argues that Judge Donato should have never left the decision to a jury, and failed to recognize Apple as a smartphone competitor like another judge did in Apple v Epic.

If not reversed, the injunction and the flawed liability ruling underlying it will directly undercut Google’s efforts to compete against Apple and the iPhone, a competitive dynamic that has spurred innovation and brought concrete benefits to consumers around the world.

Google may not have to open up its Play Store for years, if at all, while it appeals the verdict. Oral arguments are scheduled to begin on February 3rd.
