    Amazon Explores External Sales of Custom AI Chips (Trainium/Inferentia)

    Question

    Amazon Explores External Sales of Custom AI Chips (Trainium/Inferentia)

    Direct answer

    Amazon's decision to sell its custom silicon externally marks a significant shift in the AI hardware landscape. By offering Trainium and Inferentia to the broader market, Amazon is directly competing with Nvidia's H100/B100 series. While Amazon has a cost advantage, the success of this initiative will depend on whether its software stack can compete with Nvidia's CUDA.
