Amazon Web Services (AWS) is intensifying its competition with Nvidia by unveiling new AI chips, Trainium2 and Trainium3, at its re:Invent conference. These chips aim to provide cost-effective alternatives for AI model training. AWS also announced a supercomputer project, Project Rainier, in collaboration with Anthropic to enhance AI capabilities.
