THE TECHNOLOGY INTERVIEW
Trainium2 instances are designed to be three times more energy efficient than Trainium1 instances.”
Looking ahead, Rahul outlines further performance improvements in the roadmap.“ Trainium3 chips will deliver four times the performance of their predecessors, allowing customers to build bigger models faster and deliver superior real-time performance when deploying them.”

The Trainium chip family delivers meaningful efficiency gains over traditional GPU infrastructure, with Rahul citing specific performance metrics.“ In practice, Trainium2 delivers 30-40 % better price performance than traditional GPU-based servers, with the power to handle billion-parameter AI models.”
Energy efficiency represents another critical advantage, particularly as AI deployments scale.“ Trainium chips are also very power-efficient which means they help significantly with sustainability.
Enterprise AI adoption requires focus despite implementation barriers As organisations move beyond experimentation, Rahul identifies several interconnected barriers to production AI deployment. Strategic focus tops the list, with many organisations struggling to identify the most valuable use cases.
“ One challenge businesses face is identifying where to focus their generative AI efforts for the most impact,” he says.“ It’ s important to cut through the hype, and focus on the business case for generative AI.”
Data infrastructure readiness forms the second critical foundation, with Rahul emphasising the importance of bringing AI to existing data rather than the reverse.“ Another challenge is getting the data foundations right. The key is to take generative AI to the organisation’ s data, not taking its data to generative AI,” he explains.“ Organisations that have a clear data strategy and are already invested in a data foundation in the cloud have a strong advantage when it comes to adopting AI.”
