Amazon “grateful” on customer feedback on its AI chips vs Nvidia’s; says: Helps …

Amazon’s AI chip customers may not be happy with the company’s offering. According to a Business Insider report, internal documents from the e-commerce giant reveal that some AI startups have said that Amazon’s chips are no match for Nvidia’s GPUs. The AI startup Cohere reportedly found that Amazon’s Trainium 1 and 2 chips were “underperforming” Nvidia’s H100 GPUs. The report also noted that access to Trainium 2 was “extremely limited” and affected by frequent service disruptions. However, “performance challenges” with Cohere were under investigation by Amazon and its chip group Annapurna Labs, but progress on these issues was “limited,” the report added.

Meanwhile, AI image generation startup Stability AI has also expressed similar concerns with Amazon’s chips.
