Amazon Web Services has added OpenAI’s first open‐weight language models—GPT-OSS-120B and GPT-OSS-20B—to its Bedrock marketplace, marking the debut of OpenAI technology on AWS. The larger GPT-OSS-120B runs on a single 80 GB GPU, while the 20 billion‐parameter variant can operate on standard laptops. This integration expands AWS’s generative AI offerings and caters to enterprise customers seeking on-premise inference capabilities. In Q2, AWS revenue climbed 17.5%, contributing to Amazon’s overall 13% sales increase, and the OpenAI partnership is expected to drive further uptake of premium AI compute services. Institutional investors executed 12 large options trades on Amazon shares recently, allocating roughly 72% of their notional commitments to call strategies versus 28% to puts. Total call premium approached $370,000, while put premium amounted to about $140,000. Analysis of volume and open interest indicates positioning around a share‐price range of $120 to $235 over the next three months, with mean open interest per contract near 11,700 and cumulative volume of 12,600. This skew toward bullish bets underscores expectations for continued upside in Amazon stock amid strength in its core businesses. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has certified Amazon’s autonomous‐vehicle subsidiary Zoox to operate its purpose‐built electric robotaxis without steering wheels or pedals on public roads. This landmark approval closes a regulatory probe and positions Zoox to challenge Alphabet’s Waymo in cities nationwide. Zoox plans to launch ride‐hailing services in Las Vegas later this year, with expansion to additional markets in 2026. The approval accelerates Amazon’s strategy to enter the high‐growth mobility market, potentially adding a new revenue stream beyond e-commerce and cloud services. Amazon Autos has launched used and certified pre-owned vehicle listings in Los Angeles, partnering with Hyundai dealers and planning rollout to over 130 U.S. markets. The platform offers transparent pricing, comprehensive vehicle histories and a 3-day/300-mile return policy with a 30-day limited warranty. By leveraging its e-commerce infrastructure and tapping a sector that saw U.S. used car sales exceed 40 million units last year, Amazon aims to capture a growing share of online auto retail. Industry analysts project the U.S. digital used‐vehicle market will surpass $100 billion by 2027, presenting a significant diversification opportunity for Amazon.
