"This has been a year of breakout growth for Claude, and our collaboration with Amazon has been instrumental in bringing Claude's capabilities to millions of end users across tens of thousands of customers on Amazon Bedrock." said Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic. Anthropic repeatedly set new benchmarks for large language model performance throughout 2024, as demonstrated by the Claude 3 and Claude 3.5 model families which are both available in Amazon Bedrock. Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which was recently upgraded with advanced agentic capabilities including computer use, outperforms all publicly available models on agentic coding tasks, according to Anthropic's testing. Given this exceptional performance and the ability to choose from the broad selection of high performing models available in Amazon Bedrock, customers such as Arcanum AI, b.well, HackerOne, HUDstats, Forcura, Iterate, NinjaTech.ai, Rexera, Sapio Sciences, StarTree, Thematic, and Tulip are among the latest to move their generative AI workloads from other leading model providers to AWS.

Cisco’s second layoff of 2024 affects thousands of employees. Questions: 1) How is our economy doing great when major companies daily are announcing major layoffs? 2) How will these employees pay for their expenses with no income 3) It makes no sense on how the stock market is at an all time when so many Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Massive layoffs for Cisco and IBM erase hundreds of Bay Area tech jobs (siliconvalley.com)

Today I celebrate my 3 year anniversary at Amazon. While 3 years doesn't seem long, it is a journey. I have grown my skills in so many different ways. Things that I have learned: 1. Strive to be the Earths Best Employer: Myself and my colleague lift each other up and cheer the small wins. It is a privilege to work in such a diverse organization where we celebrate all cultures, colors, and genders. 2. Learn & Be Curious: I have always had this but it is amplified at Amazon. There are so many things to learn and everything changes. My favorite is our curious approach to our partners, customers, and each other. 3. Dive Deep: This was a struggle for me. I always preferred the cliff notes. At Amazon, you can't brush over the details. You have to dive deep and look at everything from all angles. Lastly: I learned to become a more proficient writer. At Amazon you can't hide behind a PPT. You have to write out your thoughts and ideas. Then back it up with data. It is a skill that you have to practice regularly. I challenge everyone to write out your thoughts and ideas. Remove weasel words and get to the point. I want to thank my team: Mohammed Hamididdin, Venkat Pathaneni, Jason Fulford, Tracey Bieser, Bethany Tangredi, Brittany Smith, Bryan Lee, Sean Walsh, Todd Nelson, Jane Lacy, Victoria Thompson, Nancy Trumpet #Amazon #AWS

Today, August 10th, is my four year anniversary at Amazon, and the one year anniversary of my blog [liketolearn.io]. One of the many things Amazon has taught me is how to be a better writer; and one of my great joys of the blog has been sharing and connecting with hundreds of people, while leaving behind notes for my two boys. The past year has taught me that managing my energy is more important than managing my time. If I do more things that give me energy I’ll manage to find the time to do them. It’s how I’ve managed to average more than a post per week, and publish sixty times [liketolearn.io/archive]. For this occasion, I’ll share four popular posts that you might find useful: 1. Learning from Amazon [https://lnkd.in/e9JZWPNz]: If you'd like to learn how Amazon operates, innovates, and became an invention machine, here are three book recommendations. 2. Write For Your Life [https://lnkd.in/e39-i9GR]: A book recommendation that hopefully encourages you to write more. 3. Did What I Say Mean Anything To You? [https://lnkd.in/evxEbhzp] One of my most popular posts, sharing insightful advice from Oprah Winfrey on the most important thing we can give to each other. 4. Paying With Your Life [https://lnkd.in/eaRbfYWE]: Powerful advice, from Oliver Burkeman, for managing our most valuable currency. Thank you for reading, and for your connection and encouragement. I appreciate it, and it means a lot to me.
