Amazon launches custom AI chip Trainium3 as Nvidia faces a new wave of competition

Jinse Finance reported that Amazon Web Services announced the public launch of its custom AI chip, Trainium3. The company stated that the chip's computing speed is four times that of the previous generation AI chip. Compared to systems using equivalent GPUs, Trainium3, produced by AWS's Annapurna Labs custom chip design business, can reduce the cost of training and operating AI models by up to 50%. These chips are designed to provide more powerful computing power for software developers such as Dean Leitsdorf, co-founder and CEO of AI video startup Decart. Leitsdorf said that after testing chips from several competitors, including Nvidia processors, his company made a breakthrough on Trainium3. The launch of Trainium3 is the latest offensive against Nvidia, which dominates the GPU market, as more and more AI companies are seeking to diversify their suppliers by purchasing chips and other hardware from companies other than Nvidia.
