Model assessment
The transcript mentions Amazon only incidentally: AWS is named as providing $410 million in compute to Recursive, and a later segment describes agents attempting purchases on Amazon while Amazon tries to block them to retain customer relationships. Neither is a material Amazon-specific catalyst or impairment, so no actionable directional signal is supported.
