Accelerated AI Inference: The AWS-Cerebras Partnership

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cerebras Systems have partnered to optimize inference performance in the field of artificial intelligence. The goal is to drastically reduce latency, offering results up to 10 times faster.

Hybrid Architecture to Maximize Efficiency

The proposed solution is based on a hybrid architecture that leverages the capabilities of two distinct platforms: the Cerebras CS-3 system and AWS Trainium chips. Inference is divided into two main phases: prefill and decode. The prefill phase, which can be parallelized, is managed by the Cerebras CS-3. The decode phase, which is inherently serial, is performed using AWS's Trainium chips. This division of labor optimizes the use of hardware resources and minimizes overall latency.
