I don't that's true. Amazon sells infrastructure to other AI companies. If they jump into the model race they become a competitor not an infrastructure provider.

Amazon always competes with everybody. Clients, partners... Everybody.

My intuition is that the root cause it's their frugal culture (frugal as in cheap). They don't want to start a compensation race.

		Agree. It would be really messy if they were paying AI engineers multiple time more than regular engineers.
