Amazon's Israel-based chip design subsidiary, acquired in 2015, responsible for AWS's custom Trainium AI training chips and Inferentia inference chips. Trainium 3, built on a 3nm node and manufactured by TSMC, began shipping in 2026 with 30-40% better price-performance than Trainium 2, and Amazon holds more than $225 billion in Trainium revenue commitments including from Anthropic and OpenAI; Amazon's custom-silicon product line (Trainium, Inferentia, Graviton, Nitro) reached an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $20 billion as of Q1 2026, even as several senior Annapurna Labs leaders departed in early 2026.
