Inaugural AWS GenAI Accelerator cohort announced

Earlier this month, AWS Startups announced its Generative AI Accelerator, focusing on providing guidance for 10 emerging ANZ organisations in the generative AI space. The inaugural cohort was recently introduced at a launch event in Sydney.

Over the next six weeks from late July to August, these emerging generative AI startups will undergo the intensive program that includes:

• Mentorship from top AI/ML industry leaders (AWS, Square Peg, Sapia.ai, Dovetail, and others).
• Access to bleeding edge AI models, go-to-market strategy tailored to Generative AI, machine learning stack optimisation, with up to $200K in AWS Credits to support the compute power that Generative AI models require.
• Technical deep-dives and support from best-in-class founders, AWS engineers and industry-leading experts to optimise around emerging tech and evolving business practices.
