Andy Jassy on the Fast Growth of Amazon’s Custom AI Chips
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy made a big announcement for the e-commerce giant’s in-house semiconductor effort, revealing that Amazon’s Trainium2 AI chip has become big enough to already amount to a multi-billion-dollar annual business. Addressing re:Invent 2025, Jassy said that Trainium2’s quick adoption is indicative of Amazon throwing caution to the wind and openly competing with existing AI chip pacesetters.
Production: Over one million Trainium2 chips are already in production, demonstrating enormous demand from companies accelerating their AI workloads. More than 100,000 companies are already tapping into these chips via the Amazon Bedrock AI platform today, making Trainium2 one of the fastest growing products in Amazon’s cloud ecosystem.
Trainium2’s powerful performance and optimized cost are the top reasons enterprises are choosing it as an alternative to traditional GPUs,” Jassy noted. The chip, which is capable of delivering AI training at high speed and low operational cost, has made Amazon a great contender in the global arms race for AI hardware.
Andy Jassy Announces Trainium3 for Next-Gen AI Performance
In addition to Trainium2’s strong momentum, Andy Jassy announced that Amazon has outed its next generation of AI hardware — the Trainium3 chip. The Trainium2 will be replaced by this new-generation processor, which promises 4x better performance and much lower power consumption. In the midst of increasing demand for green AI infrastructure, Trainium3 is likely to enhance Amazon’s competitive positioning.
Jassy added that Trainium3 will give organizations the ability to train larger models more quickly and ultimately drive down their costs, making it well-suited for high-performance generative-AI workloads. This notice is another sign the e-commerce giant’s ambitions in AI extend into chip making, to complement its cloud and AI development services.
