#80: Is AWS Bedrock the OpenAI killer, with Randall Hunt

Real World Serverless with theburningmonk

In this episode, I spoke with Randall Hunt, who's the VP of Cloud Strategy and Innovation at Caylent and had previously worked at Vendia, Facebook AI, AWS and SpaceX.
We talked about AWS Bedrock, what is it and how it works and saw a demo of a simple AI application built with Bedrock and LangChain. Randall explained the advantages of using Bedrock and why tales of AWS's supposedly weakness in AI are far-fetched.
I had a lot of fun talking to Randall and learnt a lot from the conversation and I hope you will too. This episode includes some live demo, which is best enjoyed if you watch the episode on YouTube here.
