AWS focus on GenAI is about using AWS specific tools that lock you into AWSs ecosystem.

Stuff like SageMaker et al still require compute, storage, network traffic, etc.

Any AI startup using that kind of thing instead of their own stack is already doomed before cost.

For example, some instance types are only available on SageMaker.

AWS aren’t amateurs, they know how to promote their platform effective.
