Amazon attempts to lure AI researchers with $110M in grants and credits | TechCrunch
Briefly

"AI academic research today is severely bottlenecked by a lack of resources and, as such, the academic sector is falling behind quickly. With Build on Trainium, AWS is investing in a new wave of AI research guided by leading AI research in universities that will advance the state of generative AI applications, libraries, and optimizations."
"The company is launching a new grant program for AI research called Build on Trainium, with $110 million total to institutions, scientists, and students researching AI, offering up to $11 million each in Trainium credits and individual grants up to $500,000."
"AWS is establishing a 'research cluster' of up to 40,000 Trainium chips for research teams and students, allowing them to access and reserve resources to advance their AI projects."
