Jeff Bezos Launches "ChatGPT Killer"? (Ad)

Amazon just launched Nova—its secretive new AI system designed to rival ChatGPT. Bezos says he now spends 95% of his time focused on AI… but Nova is only part of the story. Behind the scenes, Amazon has been quietly investing in a breakthrough called “Helios” tech—a core enabler of the $40 trillion AI revolution. While Nova grabs headlines, this technology could be what truly transforms Amazon’s future. But one tiny startup—not Amazon—may offer the bigger upside.
