Amazon Plans to Sell Its Trainium AI Chips Beyond AWS
Amazon plans to start selling its Trainium AI chips outside its AWS cloud business. Right now these chips are sold through AWS, the company's cloud computing service. The move would let other businesses buy the hardware directly, which could make Amazon a bigger player in the market for AI chips. Companies need such chips to train and run AI models.
