AWS Asserts AI Leadership Amid Channel Partner Growth

AWS has emerged as the leader in AI capabilities and channel partner strategy, according to AWS' chief AI and technology officer Matt Wood.

Wood cites the company's broad set of AI capabilities, including training, fine-tuning, inference, and model building, as well as its large number of models available compared to competitors Google and Microsoft.

AWS also boasts a robust, secure environment for AI development and deployment, which Wood describes as its 'secret sauce.'

The company's channel partner strategy has been praised by solution providers, with one top cloud and AI solution provider, Intuitive.ai, seeing over 60 percent AWS growth in 2026 so far.
