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.
