Amazon AWS Unveils Trainium3 Chip, Project Rainier

ZDNet, Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

Project Rainier is an 'UltraCluster' that will group hundreds of thousands of Trainium chips.

At its annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, Monday, Amazon's AWS cloud computing service disclosed the third generation of its Trainium computer chip for training large language models (LLMs) and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI), a year after the debut of the second version of the chip.

The new Trainium3 chip, which will become available next year, will be up to twice as fast as the existing Trainium2 while being 40% more energy-efficient, said AWS CEO Matt Garman during his keynote on Tuesday.
