Antarctica's hidden bedrock revealed in ultra-detailed new map

A new, highly detailed map of Antarctica’s bedrock beneath the ice, created by combining satellite surface data with ice-flow physics, reveals thousands of previously unseen hills and ridges and a prominent 50m-deep, 6km-wide channel in the Maud Subglacial Basin; while uncertainties remain, the map offers a clearer view of the bedrock that could improve models of glacier movement and future sea-level rise, complementing radar surveys and aiding climate projections.

"Amazon's Bedrock Generative AI Service Revolutionizes AI Innovation with Powerful Offerings"

Amazon has announced the general availability of its Bedrock service, which offers a range of generative AI models from Amazon and third-party partners through an API. Bedrock allows AWS customers to build apps on top of generative AI models and customize them with their own data. The service enables brands and developers to create AI "agents" that can automate tasks such as travel booking and inventory management. In the coming weeks, Bedrock will include the open-source large language model Llama 2 from Meta, joining models from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, and Stability AI. Amazon claims that Bedrock is the first fully managed generative AI service to offer Llama 2, although it has been available on other cloud-hosted platforms like Google's Vertex AI.

Unveiling the Secrets of Sand and Desert Sand

The composition underneath desert sand varies depending on the location, with some areas having sand dunes that may conceal forests or sinkholes. Sand is formed from weathered rocks and can eventually turn into sedimentary rock sandstone. In deserts, the exposed bedrock itself is often covered by sand, which is formed through the weathering process. Digging beneath sandy deserts would reveal the bedrock and dried-out clay. However, sand dunes can still hold surprises, such as preserved trees or evidence of ancient lakes.

"Amazon Leads the Charge in Generative AI with New Tools and Partnerships"

Amazon has launched Bedrock, an AI platform for businesses that provides customers of Amazon Web Service (AWS) with a suite of generative AI tools that can build chatbots, generate and summarize text, and classify images based on a prompt. Bedrock users can perform tasks by selecting from a range of machine learning models called “foundation models,” including Jurassic-2, Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, and Amazon Titan. The platform is designed to compete with other offerings from companies in the generative AI space, such as OpenAI, and is intended to help AWS customers create targeted ad campaigns for products and generate product social media posts, display ads, and web copy, among other applications.

Amazon's Bedrock intensifies competition in AI cloud services.

Amazon has launched Bedrock, a service that allows developers to build generative AI apps using pretrained models from startups including AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. The move comes as Amazon's cloud business growth slows down. The generative AI market is expected to be worth over $100 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, AI research startup Anthropic aims to raise up to $5 billion to take on OpenAI and enter over a dozen major industries. Elon Musk is also reportedly planning to take on OpenAI.
