Amazon "AGI foundation team" been disbanded

Amazon has disbanded its AGI foundation team, impacting most members of its Mixture-of-Experts pre-training team, according to a former team member's social media post. The team was part of Amazon's AGI lab, which focused on advancing artificial general intelligence research.

Looking for new oppotunities Most members in our MoE pre-training team got impacted today 😅 Feel free to ask me about what happened inside of Amazon AGI foundation team and I will share my brief thoughts with my tenure period. Also, if you know there is any place that needs people to help/optimize LLM pretraining, please share that with me I am open to new opportunities in the next few month - Amazon had a AGI lab? What was it making? - Hi If you’re interested in data heavy and post training work at a hedge fund, I’d love to chat. Not pretraining though Join the conversation
