Amazon's Chief Scientist on AI Deployment and Unit Economics
In the Arena Conversations program, Amazon Senior Principal Scientist Ido Rosen and Peter Gostev discussed the practical elements of AI: why unit economics should come first, what a decade of quantitative trading experience teaches about evaluation work, and what happens to frontier lab pricing when open-weight models lag by only a few months. He also discussed deploying AI into production environments under budget constraints and what it takes to achieve scale.
