AI Factories should help companies develop AI models without sending their data to the cloud
At re:Invent, Amazon launches the new AI Factories that allow companies to transform existing data centers into powerful AI environments, without data leaving the company premises. These environments are managed by AWS.
AI on your own hardware
With the new AWS AI Factories, companies can run Amazon’s AI stack in their own data centers. Customers provide the power and space, while AWS installs the infrastructure and manages and connects it to Bedrock and SageMaker. Companies thus maintain control over their data and avoid the risk of sensitive information going to the public cloud.
Blackwell or Trainium3
The AI Factories support both Nvidia’s latest Blackwell GPUs and AWS’s own Trainium3 chip. The systems use AWS networks, storage, and security, and can be connected to Bedrock models. This gives customers a fully managed AI environment, but behind their own firewall.
According to Garman, AI Factories should help companies develop their own AI agents and models without losing local control.
