In a December 2020 appearance at AWS re:Invent, Chetan Kapoor, then Senior Manager of Product Management for Accelerated Computing at AWS, discussed the company's plan to launch Amazon EC2 instances powered by Gaudi accelerators from Habana Labs. Kapoor stated that the instances were designed for training deep learning models and were expected to be available in the first half of 2021. He described AWS's machine learning strategy as focused on providing customers with a broad portfolio of services, including infrastructure and managed ML services, and emphasized offering choice to enable customers to select the right platform for their use case and cost structure. Kapoor noted that the partnership with Habana Labs, which had been acquired by Intel, gave AWS access to hardware, software, and an ecosystem beyond traditional GPU-based solutions. He explained that the collaboration would allow AWS to integrate Habana's products into EC2 instances, enabling customers to use the technology without managing their own hardware. Kapoor encouraged customers to sign up for early access and preview information on AWS and Habana Labs websites.
