Amazon Scans Rare Books in Secret Facility for AI Training Data

Amazon is purchasing rare books from its secretive Las Vegas facility, VGT3. The company is cutting off their spines and scanning them to train its AI models.

This method provides unique training data from texts that are out of print or not available online. This helps improve AI quality by avoiding reliance on AI-generated content.

Amazon's custom silicon business, which generates over $25 billion annually and grows at triple-digit rates, powers AI workloads for clients in the cloud.
