AWS activates Project Rainier: One of the world’s largest AI compute clusters comes online.

~500,000 Trainium2 chips, and Anthropic is scaling Claude to >1,000,000 chips by Dec-25, a huge jump in training and inference capacity.

AWS connected multiple US data centers into one UltraCluster so Anthropic can train larger Claude models and handle longer context and heavier workloads without slowing down.

Each Trn2 UltraServer links 64 Trainium2 chips through NeuronLink inside the node, and EFA networking connects those nodes across buildings, cutting latency and keeping the cluster flexible for massive scaling.

Trainium2 is optimized for matrix and tensor math with HBM3 memory, giving it extremely high bandwidth so huge batches and long sequences can be processed without waiting for data transfer.

The UltraServers act as powerful single compute units inside racks, while the UltraCluster spreads training across tens of thousands of these servers, using parallel processing to handle giant models efficiently.

AWS says Project Rainier is its largest training platform ever, delivering >5x compute than what Anthropic used before, allowing faster model training and easier large-scale experiments.

For energy use, AWS reports a 0.15 L/kWh water usage efficiency, matching 100% renewable power and adding nuclear and battery investments to keep growing while staying within its 2040 net-zero goal.

@O2 your service has been down in my area for almost a week now. Your website confirms there’s an issue but I would expect this to be fixed quickly, have DM’d you my postcode. Will customers get a credit on their accounts for this service disruption?

@lajacobsson @donkersgood Python Requests library 😞 it would be great if they included it in the standard Python libraries #awswishlist

@Jobvo What app did you use?

[Job @Jobvo]

I’m convinced that you can significantly increase productivity in any organization by replacing all shitty windows laptops with MacBooks.

@Wickes you need to suspend the account you use to send delivery SMS messages.. you appear to have been breached.

[Chris @caroseuk]

@UberEats I think someone needs to look at what your sending your app users.. getting spammed with this 😣
