Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced

 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a new AI accelerator that will support generative AI startups. The 10-week program will supply up to $300,000 each in AWS credits and other resources to 10 early-stage startups in the growing space. To fully benefit from the program, Amazon says participating startups should have already developed a minimal viable product using a cloud-native architecture on AWS. Companies already developing on AWS will get the most benefit from the cloud unit's solutions architect team, it said. As a hybrid program, the accelerator will involve both remote communications and in-person events at the start and end of the program, including a Demo Day for investors in San Francisco. AWS does not invest in startups. Amazon says it will offer AWS credits along with access to AI models, customized go-to-market advice, machine learning stack optimization, and industry networking. Startups can apply through April 17.
