Summary
On Monday, Amazon Web Services released a tool called TorchNeuron that lets AI startups easily move their AI apps onto Amazon’s AI chip, Trainium. TorchNeuron works with PyTorch, a free, open source toolkit that developers use to build, train, and run AI models. TorchNeuron is adapted from PyTorch, so developers who know PyTorch already know how to use it. However, Amazon argues that porting to Trainium is not only easy, but it also gives AI startups access to Amazon’s entire cloud.
