AWS Trainium is a machine learning chip designed to provide a cost-effective solution for training machine learning models. It was designed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer high performance and low cost for training machine learning workloads. Trainium is specifically optimized for deep learning training in areas like natural language processing, object detection, and recommendation models.
Trainium was developed to join other AWS Inferentia chips, which are focused on inference, as part of Amazon’s custom silicon offerings. By offering specialized hardware for both the training and inference phases of machine learning, AWS aims to provide a more streamlined and cost-effective solution for machine learning deployment.
