Amazon Titan (Amazon) and Minerva (540B) (Google) are both frontier AI models. Amazon Titan was published in September 2023 and Minerva (540B) in June 2022.
Amazon Titan was trained on 4.8 x 10^24 FLOP, about 1.8x the compute of Minerva (540B) at 2.7 x 10^24 FLOP. Training compute is the closest available proxy for how much was invested in a model, though it says nothing on its own about how well that compute was spent.
These two models share no benchmark on which both have been scored, so no direct performance comparison is possible here. The specification table below is a comparison of inputs, not of results.
