Amazon opens new AI lab in San Francisco focused on long-term research bets

Today, we’re excited to announce the formation of the Amazon AGI SF Lab, a new dedicated team based in San Francisco. The initial focus of our lab will be to develop new foundational capabilities for enabling useful AI agents that can take actions in the digital and physical worlds. In other words, we’re enabling practical AI that can actually do things for us and make our customers more productive, empowered, and fulfilled. Our work will build on that of Amazon’s broader AGI team, which recently introduced Amazon Nova, a new generation of state-of-the-art foundation models (FMs).
