Amazon ready to use its own AI chips, reduce its dependence on Nvidia

In this article:

The article discusses Amazon’s efforts to develop its own artificial intelligence (AI) chips, called Trainium, to reduce its reliance on market leader Nvidia.
Amazon’s cloud computing division is investing heavily in custom chips through its Annapurna Labs subsidiary, which it acquired in 2015.
The goal is to boost the efficiency of Amazon’s data centers and lower costs for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers.
Trainium 2, the latest version of Amazon’s AI chips, is expected to be announced soon and is already being tested by companies like Anthropic and Databricks.
Amazon aims to take on Nvidia, which dominates the AI processor market, by offering more cost-effective and optimized chips for specific AI tasks.
