I asked chatgpt to break this down and help me understand this like I'm 5, so we can really understand this without all the jargon!!!
As you probably know, AI is like a really smart robot brain that can write, think, help with work, draw, or even talk to your customers.
That robot brain needs training like reading millions of books and what it learns becomes a model.
🧠 OpenAI (the makers of ChatGPT) build some of the smartest robot brains in the world. But until now, they’ve only let people use them inside their house; their app, their site, their rules.
Now, for the first time, OpenAI is saying:
🗣️ “Here, take this trained robot brain. You can run it on your own computer if you want.”
AND Amazon who owns one of the biggest tech playgrounds in the world (AWS) said:
🧑💻 “Awesome. We’ll make it easy for anyone using our platform to use those brains too.”
🤯
Why this matters to us in plain speak?
1️⃣ More Control
You don’t have to be tied to OpenAI’s platform. You can run these AI models your way, inside your business, with more freedom and privacy.
2️⃣ Save Money
It’s way cheaper to run these models via Amazon (AWS) than through traditional pay-per-use APIs.
3️⃣ Build Cool Stuff Faster
You can now build your own tools, custom bots, branded assistants even your own mini ChatGPT without needing a PhD in machine learning.
👀 Who this is for? Who cares?
✅ Big companies who want AI in-house, secure, and scalable
