About the team
In 2015, Annapurna Labs was acquired by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Since then, we have accelerated its innovation and developed a number of products that benefit cloud customers, including AWS Nitro technology, Inferentia custom Machine Learning chips, and AWS Graviton2 processors. Annapurna Labs is a silicon/system and software organization that is delivering all the chips used by AWS customers. Today this includes: Graviton, driving innovation for general purpose compute; Nitro, driving networking and storage scale, security and Hypervisor offload, and Machine Learning (ML) Trainium and Inferentia that are enabling customers to train and run GenAI applications permanently while keeping costs under control.
