If your chips and models aren't built in lockstep, you're already behind. At @VivaTech, Amazon SVP Peter DeSantis—who leads a new org uniting foundation models and custom chips—explained why they have to develop together, not in sequence. 🤝 "If the chips are not telling the model designers what capabilities are coming and where they can optimize, then we're not doing the science necessary to take advantage of those capabilities until the chips are available—and then you're waiting months and months." Amazon has been doing this since day one. That’s why Trainium is a chip of choice for AI companies building applications from large language models to world models and more.

Jeff Bezos says people worrying about AI taking everyone’s jobs are looking at it the wrong way. Speaking at VivaTech in Paris, Bezos said AI will make people more productive and could actually lead to a shortage of workers, not mass unemployment. “People worry that AI will replace workers. I think the opposite is going to happen.” He argued that there are basically endless problems for humans to solve and that AI will create new industries and opportunities, just like past technologies did.
