TechCrunch·high signal

TechCrunch received an exclusive tour of Amazon's Trainium chip lab at the heart of its $50B OpenAI deal. Trainium2 is now a multi-billion dollar business growing 150% quarter-over-quarter, with 1.4 million chips deployed across all three generations and Anthropic running Claude on over 1 million of them. OpenAI and Apple have also adopted Trainium, and Trainium3 UltraServers are already serving Amazon Bedrock production workloads — positioning AWS as the dominant AI inference substrate behind every major frontier model.
