Amazon is reorganizing its AI division by phasing out several in-house AI models and shifting focus to frontier-level AI research. This move follows recent layoffs in its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) division and the closure of its AGI Lab. The company is moving resources away from its Nova flagship models toward new efforts led by AI researcher Pieter Abbeel. Amazon states it continues to support existing models while investing in next-generation AI research to meet evolving customer needs.
