The heck is Amazon researching? I've run into CS articles / whitepapers / etc from eg. Microsoft-affiliated researchers (especially in programming language stuff), but can't remember ever seeing anything from Amazon. Probably just means I'm not reading papers from the right field / subfield

Aws?

Right, it's pretty clear some of it is probably something related to AWS but I wouldn't be surprised if they did research into things like supply chain management.

I went and did some searching and found https://www.amazon.science/, and it looks like my guess of either AWS or supply chain management was pretty good since I can find articles on both on there 😀

Aws might be anything from network packet management, to ai tools.

Huh, I'm severely out of the loop on all these new space ventures, I'd never even heard of it (and it's not even all that new, ~5 years 😅 )
