Amazon CEO: AI costs are significantly reduced due to DeepSeek technology

Recently, Amazon CEO Andy Jassey talked about the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its cost issues in a conference call with analysts. He said that with the continuous emergence of new technologies, especially the launch of models such as DeepSeek, the cost of artificial intelligence inference will drop significantly. This change will allow more companies to easily apply AI to their businesses, especially in the areas of inference and generative AI.

Jassie mentioned that recent news about DeepSeek has attracted a lot of attention, and he believes that this technological breakthrough will accelerate the overall demand growth of artificial intelligence. This is consistent with the views of other technology industry executives, who all believe that while AI costs are declining, this does not mean that companies will reduce their investment in technology. Instead, the reduced costs will allow companies to rethink innovation projects that have been shelved due to budget constraints, thereby increasing overall technology spending.

To cope with this trend, Amazon has quickly launched the DeepSeek-R1 model in its cloud service platforms Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI. Jassie said Amazon will provide customers with more cutting-edge AI model choices to meet the needs of different companies. Through these platforms, users can easily use the DeepSeek model for application development and customization, helping them improve their work efficiency.

Starting from January 30, users can deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model on these platforms. Amazon also provides a series of related services, including implementing DeepSeek in a more cost-effective way through infrastructure such as Amazon EC2 and Amazon Trainium. Deployment of R1-Distill. This series of measures shows that Amazon hopes to continue to maintain its leading position in the field of AI and promote the digital transformation of enterprises.
