Partnering with AWS enables us to scale faster, expand our offerings, and develop in international markets with greater speed and impact. It serves as a catalyst to test, refine, and strengthen our products beyond regional boundaries—accelerating innovation, unlocking new business models, and forging trusted partnerships with companies, governments, and institutions to drive enterprise AI adoption.” said Chiara Marcati, AI71’s Chief AI Advisory and Business officer.
“AWS is proud to advance our collaboration with TII and AI71, bringing the power of Falcon models to a wider audience,” said Tanuja Randery, Vice President, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, AWS. “Together, we’re empowering customers to build innovative AI-powered applications across diverse industries, from financial services to healthcare, all while maintaining control over their data.
“By offering Falcon through Amazon Bedrock, we’re giving customers the choice and flexibility to leverage these cutting-edge models within a secure and high-performing environment.
