Amazon is intensifying its efforts to develop AI chips that can compete with Nvidia, according to the Financial Times. This strategic move is being spearheaded by Amazon’s Annapurna Labs, which is ramping up its custom AI chip lineup to reduce dependence on Nvidia. The soon-to-launch Trainium 2, already tested by firms like Anthropic and Databricks, is a key part of this initiative. By developing its own custom processors, Amazon aims to cut costs for its cloud computing services and sharpen its competitive edge in the AI technology market.
