About the team
Annapurna Labs started in 2011, as a fabless chip start-up, focused on bringing innovation to the fast-growing cloud infrastructure. Four years after its inception, Annapurna Labs was acquired by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Since then, we have accelerated innovation and developed a number of products that benefit cloud customers, including AWS Nitro technology, AWS Graviton processors, AWS ML Inferentia & Trainium and more. Although Annapurna Labs is a small company, it is significant for AWS, with a reputation of being the key ingredient in the "secret sauce" behind its success. The Annapurna Labs team is responsible for building custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks that run on top of them, which gives us the possibility to optimize and improve our products in different layers more effectively.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
