Amazon Is Building a Mega AI Supercomputer With Anthropic
Amazon is building one of the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputers in collaboration with Anthropic, an OpenAI rival that is working to push the frontier of what is possible with artificial intelligence. Amazon says it expects the supercomputer, which will feature hundreds of thousands of Amazon’s latest AI training chip, Trainium 2, to be the largest reported AI machine in the world when finished. Matt Garman, the CEO of Amazon Web Services, revealed the supercomputer plans, dubbed project Rainer, at the company’s Re:Invent conference in Las Vegas today, along with a host of other announcements cementing Amazon’s rising dark-horse status in the world of generative AI. Many companies already use Amazon’s cloud to build and train custom AI models, often in tandem with GPUs from Nvidia. Amazon is the world’s biggest cloud computing provider, but until recently, it might have been considered a laggard in generative AI compared to rivals like Microsoft and Google.
