Theta goes deeper with AWS
In June of last year I wrote about Theta expanding their partnership with AWS, you can revisit it for a recap. Theta and AWS are expanding their partnership to Launch Custom Amazon AI Chips Trainium & Inferentia on EdgeCloud. I did blog back in July '24 on the AWS Chips. It might be worth your review too.
New partnership firsts
AWS has approved a decentralized platform to integrate its cutting-edge AI silicon: AWS Trainium and Inferentia EC2 instances. milestone makes Theta the first blockchain network to deploy Amazon’s next-generation chipsets, delivering unmatched performance for AI, video and media workloads
EdgeCloud is now the first 3rd-party decentralized platform to adopt AWS’s purpose-built AI instances, powered by AWS Trainium and Inferentia.
EdgeCloud now offers access to top-tier cloud resources, including Nvidia H100s and A100s, and now with AWS Trainium and Inferentia — cutting edge chips optimized for high-throughput AI model training and inference tasks.
Architecture and why it matters
AWS currently offers both the Trainium and Inferentia chipsets. Not only do they rival competitors, but they exceed the performance of alternative platforms at a fraction of the operational cost.
Why do AWS Chips beat the Giants chips?
- On GPT-4 class models for large text generation, Trainium is competitive with Nvidia A100 GPUs at ~54% lower cost per token than an A100 cluster at similar throughput.
- For Llama 2/3 mid-size LLM, Trainium + Inferentia deliver up to 3x higher inference throughput compared to other GPU baselines.
- On Stable Diffusion XL image generation, Stability AI recently partnered with AWS to use Amazon SageMaker with Trainium for model training, achieving 58% lower training time and cost compared to their previous infrastructure.
- Theta secures the blockchain and payments are secure via TFUEL. Combined they bring the best of both worlds at less cost
Summary
As much as it pains me to see MEME tokens the WLFI price accelerate while Theta's token prices languish, I must admire their gusto to keep building an amazing partner ecosystem. To net it out Theta's combining high-performance cloud GPUs with a globally distributed network of edge nodes, Theta EdgeCloud Hybrid sets a new standard for AI infrastructure — delivering the best of both worlds in performance, at much reduced pricing.
