Apple and Amazon have apparely partnered on artificial ielligence. At the AWS re:Inve conference, it was announced that Apple is now using Amazon’s custom artificial ielligence chips for services such as search and is evaluating these chips for use in services such as Apple Ielligence.
Benoit Dupin, Apple’s chief machine learning and artificial ielligence manager, appeared at Amazon’s AWS re:Inve conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday and described the AI collaboration between Apple and Amazon, according to CNBC. In a part of this speech, it was announced that Apple has started using Amazon’s artificial ielligence chips for its artificial ielligence searches.
Apple is one of Amazon’s AI chip customers
The presence of one of Apple’s senior executives at Amazon’s conference and the confirmation of the company’s use of artificial ielligence chips may be a confirmation of the power and effectiveness of Amazon’s new chips. Amazon has strong competitors like Google and Microsoft in the field of artificial ielligence, and of course Apple also uses the artificial ielligence and cloud services of these companies.
Benoit Dupin said at the conference that Apple has been using Amazon’s AWS services for Siri, Apple Maps and Apple Music for more than a decade. In the latest round of collaborations between these two tech gias, Apple is using Amazon’s Infereia and Graviton chips to provide search services, and Dupin says that Amazon’s chips have led to a 40% increase in efficiency.
This senior manager also suggested that Apple use Amazon’s Trainium2 chip to train the company’s proprietary artificial ielligence models, such as Apple Ielligence. Amazon announced Tuesday that it is ready to make its Trainium2 chips available to customers for re.
Earlier this year, Apple announced in its research paper that it uses Google Cloud’s TPU chips to train the iPhone’s artificial ielligence service, or Apple Ielligence.
Amazon has recely made huge investmes in artificial ielligence and related technologies. In addition to investing 4 billion dollars in Eropic, Amazon has unveiled a supercomputer with dedicated artificial ielligence chips in competition with Nvidia. The retail gia also unveiled new Nova artificial ielligence models for AWS customers at its rece conference.
