Amazon just tripled its order of Nvidia chips over ‘surging demand’

Two companies announced an expanded partnership in which additional GPU chips will be added to data center infrastructure, with deployment planned for upcoming years. The chips are designed to handle the computational demands of training and running AI models, and the deal also includes integration of networking hardware, software, and robotics platforms across cloud services. This expansion comes just months after an initial agreement and reflects what the companies attribute to surging demand from various sectors. The development is notable because it occurs alongside the cloud provider's separate investments in building its own competing AI chips.
