AWS Unveils EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML: A Game-Changer in GPU Access

Flexible GPU Access Model Aims to Boost Diversity and Efficiency

Amazon Web Services (AWS), a renowned cloud computing service favored by developers seeking high-performance hardware for AI workloads, has introduced a groundbreaking solution for more flexible, short-term requirements.

This innovation, known as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Capacity Blocks for ML, is being touted as an industry-first by Amazon. It empowers customers to access GPUs through a consumption-based model, providing an affordable alternative.

The Seattle-based cloud giant envisions that these more cost-effective options will open doors for smaller organizations, fostering a more diverse landscape within the AI ecosystem.
