An interview with AWS CEO Matt Garman on why AWS will be a "better" OpenAI partner than Microsoft, chip bubble fears, Jeff Bezos' Project Prometheus, and more

AWS CEO Matt Garman isn't pulling punches. In a wide-ranging interview with Alex Heath, Garman laid out why he believes Amazon will "be a better partner" to OpenAI than Microsoft — a bold claim given Microsoft's deep, multi-billion-dollar investment in the AI lab.

Garman also addressed growing fears of a chip bubble head-on, pushing back on speculation that the massive infrastructure buildout powering AI could end in a bust.

The interview touched on AWS's relationship with Anthropic, the Claude-maker that Amazon has poured billions into as its own AI bet. Garman also discussed Project Prometheus, a Jeff Bezos-linked initiative whose details remain closely guarded.

The remarks signal AWS is done playing nice. Amazon wants to be the backbone of AI infrastructure — and it's willing to compete with its own customers' investors to get there.
