Blue Origin or Amazon SWE Internship?

So I recently accepted a Blue Origin SWE internship offer that was set in stone that I'm pretty happy about, but my recruiter for Amazon suddenly reached out to ask if I was still interested in an Amazon Dedicated Cloud internship (probably GovCloud).

Is it worth trying to go through the Amazon interview loop? I really do not want to reneg Blue Origin especially this late, but I do want to prioritize my career. Will be doing similar AI/Infra work in both Blue Origin (Integrated Supply Chain) and Amazon, but looking to pivot out of webdev and explore things closer to hardware like low-level embedded systems, avionics, robotics, etc. Blue Origin sounds more exciting, but I know Amazon also has hardware divisions too like Leo, Annapurna Labs, Lab126, etc. that I could navigate within. Compensation is not the priority, I just want to work on something interesting/fulfilling.

Which is best for my long-term career as a sophomore in college?
