AWS Launches New AI Chips and Tools for Developers

Amazon Web Services (AWS), the global leader in cloud computing, has rolled out several upgrades to its product lines with a focus on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). 

During the company's re:Invent 2024 event in Las Vegas, AWS CEO Matt Garman highlighted the company’s continued development in GenAI, including advancements in foundational models and AI chips, while also ensuring privacy and security measures.  

One of the major updates is to Amazon Bedrock, AWS’s foundational model, which now includes features designed to reduce AI "hallucinations"—incorrect results generated by large language models. AWS has introduced "automated reasoning checks" to help Amazon Bedrock validate factual responses, produce auditable outputs, and explain the reasoning behind model outcomes.

AWS Competes in AI Hardware

In the AI chip space, AWS unveiled its next generation AI training chip, Trainium3 aimed at helping customers build larger models more quickly while delivering real time performance. This launch intensifies AWS’s competition with market leader Nvidia in the AI hardware sector. Additionally, AWS announced Project Rainier, a partnership with generative AI startup Anthropic, to create one of the largest compute clusters for AI model training, powered by Trainium chips.  

Another key announcement was Nova, a next-generation foundation model capable of processing text, images, and video. Available on the AWS Bedrock platform, Nova will allow users to create multimedia content, benefiting businesses such as advertisers and sellers on the Amazon platform.  

In addition, AWS revealed new features for the Amazon Q developer platform, which helps developers enhance their proficiency with AWS technologies. The introduction of generative AI agents on this platform will assist developers by handling tasks like testing and documentation, freeing them up to focus on high quality software development.  

AWS also showcased its continued collaboration with major companies like Apple and JP Morgan Chase. Apple, a long-time AWS customer, is expanding its relationship by using AWS to host its AI models. Benoit Dupin, Apple’s Senior Director of Machine Learning and AI, praised AWS for its role in supporting the company's growth and AI scale.
