Hugging Face Adds AWS Trainium Support to TRL for 2x Faster Training

AI11 hours ago

TRL v1.16 now allows developers to fine-tune vision and language models on Amazon's Trainium2 hardware using the TorchNeuron software, with some training speeds increasing by up to 2x. This update to the Hugging Face library enables smarter sequence length handling for those seeking alternatives to Nvidia's GPUs, appearing alongside reports that Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face.

The integration builds on Amazon's recent launch of TorchNeuron, which lets PyTorch code run natively on its proprietary chips without code rewrites to challenge Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem. Amazon shares rose 5% on Oct. 19, the company's best trading day since August, after Morgan Stanley named the stock a top pick with a $350 price target and raised AWS growth forecasts to 47% for 2027 and 42% for 2028.
