Databricks – a startup based out of San Francisco and Anthropic in which the tech behemoth itself invested about $4.0 billion in September (read more) will use the new chip to build their models added Amazon Web Services on Tuesday.

AWS brought in $23.1 billion in revenue (in line with expectations) in the multinational’s latest reported quarter.

Also today, Amazon.com Inc announced a more cost efficient Graviton4 processor at its conference in Las Vegas that it claims performs up to 30% better than its predecessor.

The Arm-based general-purpose processor that consumes less energy than same-league products from rivals AMD and Intel will be commercially available in a few months.

AWS will also enable access to the H200 – an in-demand graphics processing unit by Nvidia Corp, as per the tech behemoth that reported “record-breaking” sales at its eCommerce platform from Black Friday through Cyber Monday this year.
