My initial impression is wondering why they picked Q while the internet still remembers Qanon.

I've never found Amazon to be good at naming things and stopped wondering where they pull these out of

At least this one is short. Un-Googleable, but short.

"Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Session Manager" remains my favorite.

So everyone wants to name their thing either X or Q. Can't we give the other letters some love for a change? I've never heard about, let's say, the G conspiracy, for example.

Top_p and top_k are pretty important concepts for LLMs same as temperature so P,K,C and F are underutilized

Would be nice if TechCrunch applied some skepticism or talked to experts or potential users about this idea rather than just summarizing Amazon’s presentation. Some of the claims being made about what this could do are pretty ridiculous, and clearly overstatements of the actual functionality. It can summarize existing AWS docs—one of the only actual concrete examples in the article says that it could list EC2 instanc…

So I've tried using this Q Preview - and frankly, it's little more than the usual chatbot that can repeat what's in the docs.

> Amazon Q is an expert on patterns in the AWS Well-Architected Framework, best practices, documentation, and solution implementations, making it easier and faster for you to explore new services and capabilities, learn unfamiliar technologies, and architect solutions. Can I trust that Q's proposed AWS architecture solutions will be cost-effective, and more importantly, secure? Does it come with a warranty?

No. Even in the Solutions Architect an Data Analyst Certification exams there are biases tested to essentially reinforce customers build in ways that ensure they spend more money. This model is no different. Amazon makes it incredibly difficult to opt out of any data collection across its AWS services, making user privacy a serious concern here. And, Amazon continues to fail to disclose to customers when their services/data has been compromised.

The "Q" model is incredibly underwhelming. ChatGPT continues to do a better job of describing and proposing viable solutions using AWS framework, and it's free.

As a customer, the guarantee you'll have with this model is KTLO. No thanks.
