Amazon has <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/nova\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">its own cohort of foundation models<\/a>, after all, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/bedrock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">one of the most popular inference platforms on the internet<\/a>. As long as they\u2019re under no legal obligation to open the doors to Muse, why would they?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there are also substantive reasons Amazon might not want to be in the agentic commerce business just yet. If Muse makes a bad order, Amazon is going to be the one to clean it up \u2014 dealing with both the angry customer and the angry vendor. Muse has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/artificialanalysis.ai\/evaluations\/omniscience#aa-omniscience-hallucination-rate\" target=\"_blank\">one of the lower hallucination rates<\/a>, as AI models go, but it\u2019s still pretty far from zero. Even if Amazon sees an opportunity in agent-driven commerce, they may want to wait a few more release cycles before rolling anything out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday night, users of Meta\u2019s AI assistant Muse started getting a strange error message when they tried to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,960,181,507,15879,1282,129955,74],"class_list":["post-855907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amazon","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-in-brief","tag-meta","tag-muse","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=855907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=855907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=855907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=855907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
