Amazon adds Kimi and GLM to Bedrock, says West wants more open models

Jassy outlined ambitious growth targets for Bedrock, suggesting it could eventually match the scale of Amazon Web Services’ EC2 cloud computing business. He predicted that within two to three years, six to eight models will handle more than 95% of workloads on the platform. The CEO emphasized security, clarifying that customer data is not shared with model providers or used for training foundational models.

The move aligns with a broader trend of Chinese AI models gaining traction in the US market. Recent comments from Eric Schmidt and Jensen Huang highlighted that while China may be slightly behind the US in AI development, its free and open-weight models offer strategic advantages, particularly in developing markets. Huang specifically argued that adopting these models boosts demand for Nvidia hardware rather than posing a security threat.
