(Reuters) -Amazon.com on Tuesday announced a new artificial intelligence chip for its cloud computing service as competition with Microsoft to dominate the market for artificial intelligence heats up. At a conference in Las Vegas, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Chief Executive Adam Selipsky announced Trainium2, the second generation of chip designed for training AI systems. The AWS move comes weeks after Microsoft announced its own AI chip called Maia.

Google introduced the Tensor series of chips with the Pixel 6 series in 2021. It was meant to usher in a range of chips specially tailored by Google to keep up with its class-leading AI-based software features. Just three Tensor chips in, and many of Google’s new AI features need to be off-loaded to the cloud for processing.

Microsoft just unveiled its own AI accelerators and generalized CPUs, following the lead of rivals Amazon and Google.

In simulations, DeepMind's single-chip AI model was more accurate than a traditional supercomputer-based climate forecast program.

Microsoft releases its custom cloud computing chip Azure Maia 100 for its Azure cloud service.
