Amazon’s $110M generative AI investment boosts university research, providing advanced tools and resources to drive AI innovation in academia.
Enthusiasm around generative AI has produced a large number of AI startups and is fueling massive investment that Goldman Sachs predicts will surpass $1 trillion over the next few years. Amazon is just the latest to put its money where its mouth is, announcing a $110 million investment into generative AI to fund the Build on Trainium program. Build on Trainium will provide compute hours for researchers to envision, experiment with, and create new AI architectures, machine learning (ML) libraries, and performance optimizations designed for large-scale, distributed AWS Trainium UltraClusters. Trainium UltraClusters are essentially cloud-based collections of AI accelerators that can be unified into one system to deal with highly complex computational tasks.Built on AWS Trainium Chips
The AWS Trainium chip is tailored for deep learning training and inference.
