Amazon Unleashes Trainium2, A Bold Challenge to Nvidia

Amazon has launched its Trainium2 AI chip, boasting 4x the speed and 3x the memory of its predecessor. Aiming to dethrone Nvidia in the $100B AI chip arena, Trainium2 can scale to 100,000 chips, delivering a whopping 65 exaflops and reducing AI training from months to weeks. With an $8B investment rumor in AI startup Anthropic, Amazon’s Austin lab is buzzing with ambition. Developers, brace yourselves—Amazon’s software tools are still playing catch-up to Nvidia’s CUDA.
