38 min • 3 augusti 2025

SHOW NOTES:

HOW WILL AWS HANDLE DAY 1 AND DAY 2?

  • Has AWS missed the Generative AI transformation?
    • Not investing in GPUs at the same rate as their cloud market share
    • Don’t have a Top 5 Frontier LLM
    • Don’t have a productivity suite to attach AI to (on-going revenue)
    • Don’t have a leading coding-assistant app
    • Don’t have an immediate “acquisition” target (e.g. Anthropic valuation near $150B)
    • AWS isn’t breaking out their AI revenues
  • AWS’s growth has plateaued over the last 6 quarters (around 17%), while Azure, GCP have been growing at 1.5 to 2x, specifically around AI revenues. 
  • AWS is up to 18% of Amazon revenue, and current AWS (CPU-based) is driving the majority of Amazon profits. 
  • Jasay is trying to make AI an add-on to the AWS “building block” model
    • GenAI buying (at this point) looks similar to Shadow IT going to public cloud – it’s not centrally controlled
  • Is AWS focused on GenAI, or moving the other 80-85% of on-premises to their cloud? Can they manage both priorities at the same time? 
  • Can you achieve the same levels of growth if non-GenAI startups aren’t getting funding at the same levels as pre-2022?
