Description

Amazon's Project Rainier, a massive AI data center in Indiana, is now operational, using custom Trainium chips and powering advanced AI models. The $11 billion project, a response to the AI arms race, is expected to use 2.2 gigawatts of electricity, enough for 1.6 million homes. While it boosts Amazon's AI capabilities and partnerships, it also raises concerns about energy demand and local impact.
