AWS has built 20 data centers in Indiana full of half a million Trainium chips explicitly for Anthropic. Anthropic is using them heavily. The same press announcement that Anthropic has made about Google TPUs is the exact same one they made a year ago about Trainium. Hell, even in the Google TPU press release they explicitly mention how they are still using Trainium as well.
- VirusNewbie 10mo agoCan you link to the press releases? The only one I'm aware of by Anthropic says they will use Tranium for future LLMs, not that they are using them.
- cobolcomesback 10mo agoThis is the Anthropic press release from last year saying they will use Trainium: https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-amazon-trainium https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-amazon-trainium This is the AWS press release from last month saying Anthropic is using 500k Trainium chips and will use 500k more: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-says-anthropic-will-use-1-million-of-its-custom-ai-chips-141829311.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-says-anthropic-will-us... And this is the Anthropic press release from last month saying they will use more Google TPUs but also are continuing to use Trainium (see the last 2 paragraphs specifically): https://www.anthropic.com/news/expanding-our-use-of-google-cloud-tpus-and-services https://www.anthropic.com/news/expanding-our-use-of-google-c...
- VirusNewbie 10mo agoThere is no press release saying that they are using 500k trainium chips. You can search on amazon's site.
