This isn’t an AWS product, it’s Amazon (the non-AWS side). I don’t think this has anything to do with AWS billing. AWS already has Amazon Q, which is its chatbot offering for AWS customers.

I'm sorry? https://aws.amazon.com/ai/generative-ai/nova/

Amazon Nova is a foundation model created by Amazon and is offered as one of the models you can use in AWS Bedrock, so the model gets a marketing page for it. Note that Llama also has an AWS marketing page (as do other models), but that doesn’t make them AWS products: https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/llama/

Amazon Nova Chat is a different product that uses Nova, buts it not AWS. Notice that if you try to use Nova Chat, you log in using your Amazon.com account and not an AWS account.

Seems like there's going to be some trademark conflict with https://novaapp.ai/ ?

Nova because it just means 'new' isn't a term anybody can trademark.

trademark != copyright. VW just means people's car, but I'd be in some trouble if I launched a new transportation company called "Volk's Wagens"

Well they certainly have the GPUs for that. I wonder if this will squeeze cloud GPU pricing even more or it's already priced.

Eh, not really. They are behind in this 'race' on GPU stock as well as spare power, and I question if they will be able to truly catch up before the interest wanes.

I meant trademarks.

Of course a trademark of a common word might arise naturally from being in the market and becoming widely recognized (e.g. Apple), but you can't file a trademark for it until you have become widely recognized.

This is why Nova is a very popular term for products.

GDPR does more than demand protections. It demands data locality. It demands that encryption and access controls be done in a certain way. It backs up its demands (that are sometimes vague) with huge fines.

It really doesn't do anything more than mandate consumer side protection. Data locality in legally compatible jurisdictions is the most fundamental form of protection there is. Without concepts such as Safe Harbour and data locality, handling of PII would be farcical amongst MNCs. Re: Demands on Encryption? The most prominent mention of encryption is in Article 32(1)(a), which mentions the “pseudonymisation and encry…

Ah excellent. Encryption is not compulsory, but doing a bureaucratic risk assessment of whether you need encryption is. That is so much less work.

In reality, GDPR is a jobs program for eurocrat auditing and consulting firms combined with an effort by Facebook and Google to prevent European competition. Note that GDPR fines are big enough that they can crush a small company, but small enough that Google wouldn't care.

Here's the actual link to the product: https://nova.amazon.com/chat

Amazon should have taken a page out of literally everyone elses book and made it public. But no Amazon being Amazon, ofc you have to sign in

This is good. It means people won't. Enough Amazon already.
