Amazon takes new steps to challenge Nvidia.

Nvidia holds an 80% share in the AI chip market with its advanced GPUs used in training language models and machine learning. Amazon aims to challenge Nvidia by developing proprietary chips, investing in data centers, and forming partnerships to reduce reliance on Nvidia and strengthen its AI market position.

Amazon's Moves to Challenge Nvidia:

• Development of Proprietary AI Chips: Amazon has developed two AI chips, Trainium and Inferentia, designed for training and inference. These chips aim to reduce reliance on Nvidia GPUs and boost AWS (Amazon Web Services) growth.

• Investment in Data Centers: Amazon plans to invest $11 billion in building data centers, enhancing its competitiveness in the cloud computing sector. This investment supports its AI business and reduces dependency on Nvidia's data center products.

• Partnerships with AI Startups: Amazon partnered with Hugging Face to use Inferentia chips for workloads, boosting its AI market influence. Amazon invested $4 billion in AI startup Anthropic, promoting Trainium and Inferentia chips and AWS as the primary cloud provider.

• Optimization of Cloud Services: By optimizing its cloud service AWS, Amazon attracts more AI and machine learning applications, enhancing its competitiveness in the AI infrastructure market.

• Acquisitions and Investments: Through strategic acquisitions and investments, Amazon connects with AI-related companies and expands its AI ecosystem. For example, it co-invests in AI startup Hugging Face with other chip companies and cloud computing specialists.

• Enhancement of Computing Capabilities: With substantial investments to enhance AWS’s computing capabilities, Amazon can provide more powerful and cost-effective AI solutions, attracting more customers to its platform over Nvidia’s solutions.

Amazon's struggles show the difficulty of competing with Nvidia in the AI-chip market:

• Lagging AI Chip Adoption: Amazon's AI chips, Trainium and Inferentia, have lower adoption rates than Nvidia GPUs. In 2023, Trainium's rate was 0.5% and Inferentia's was 2.7% of Nvidia's usage.

• Compatibility and Migration Issues: Large cloud customers struggle with AWS's custom AI chips due to compatibility issues with some open-source frameworks and the widespread use of Nvidia's CUDA. This has hindered the adoption of Amazon's AI chips.

• Impact on AWS Profitability: AWS's profits may decline if Amazon can't overcome Nvidia's lead in AI chips. AWS's dependence on Nvidia GPUs delays the transition to Amazon's own chips.

• Internal and External Reliance on Nvidia GPUs: Amazon's own AI projects use Nvidia GPUs rather than AWS's homegrown chips, showing the difficulty of fully switching to its AI chips.

• Nvidia's Continued Market Dominance: Nvidia holds 80% of the AI-chip market, tripling its revenue from last year. This highlights its strong position and the challenges for competitors like Amazon.
