Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SAP have announced an expansion of their partnership to enhance generative AI capabilities, allowing companies utilizing SAP software such as Zappos to leverage advanced AI toolsets within the cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform.
This integration includes Gen AI models from Amazon Bedrock accessible through the AI hub in SAP AI Core, as well as large language models in SAP business applications. Companies will also have the ability to develop and scale applications using their own data, while also incorporating foundation models from prominent AI companies like AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon.
The utilization of AI within SAP’s Rise platform and intelligent scenario lifecycle management functionality will allow for embedded use cases, or running AI applications side-by-side directly on the SAP business technology platform. Future expansions are planned to extend the use of AI in functions such as finance and product lifecycle management, enhancing operational efficiencies.
Furthermore, the collaboration includes collaboration on next-gen chip development aimed at increasing compute capabilities for SAP cloud-based analytics workloads. These advancements not only improve efficiencies but also contribute to reducing carbon footprints. The development of chips specifically designed for AI and machine learning workloads will play a key role in training and deploying future AI technologies supported by SAP.
