artificial intelligenceWith a staggering two trillion parameters, Olympus could potentially become one of the largest neural networks ever created, surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-4, which is said to have one trillion parameters.
While Amazon has previously developed smaller experimental models like Titan, Olympus represents a significant leap in terms of scale and complexity. Amazon’s goal with Olympus is to enhance the appeal of its cloud computing services and maintain a competitive edge in the field.
