Understanding the use cases of a company’s products and services can be challenging when we don’t interact with them directly. I thought I'd highlight a recent use case of a type of event Ai-Media plays a role in with their captioning products and services.

AWS recently hosted their annual re:Invent 2024 event in Las Vegas. I’ve been watching a couple of the keynotes - mainly around the new AI models they're launching. It was a bonus to be able to catch some of the live captioning provided by Ai-Media’s LEXI AI captioning services. The quality is very good and with delays of just 2-3 seconds.

The event videos are available on Youtube, and you can catch glimpses of the captions at certain camera angles to evaluate their quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY7m5LQliAo. Turning on the captions in Youtube will display the LEXI generated captions with all the timing synced up - with no delay.

To put the scale and complexity into perspective, re:Invent had 70k attendees, with multiple simultaneous stages and overflow rooms, live streaming online and over Youtube. Beyond the main stages, the event featured smaller presentations. In fact the conference had 40+ rooms with in-room live captioning.

These types of events are huge, with lots of competing demands from large in-person crowds and live-streaming viewers worldwide. Lots of different presentations going on simultaneously, and very high stakes. And for Ai-Media’s range of encoders, iCap cloud and LEXI AI captioning service - this is their bread-and-butter.

In fact, AWS is now lugging around 51 Ai-Media encoders to some of their biggest events:

Hopefully this provides an idea of the types of areas Ai-Media is playing in.

Interesting that AMZN share price has hit all time highs since then

Also META share price has gone ballistic (over 600+) despite the insider selling by Zuck, but I think that is due to the new version of Llama that came out recently
