TOKYO (Reuters) -Leading chipmaker Nvidia and SoftBank Corp, the telecommunications arm of SoftBank Group, have piloted the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G telecoms network, the two companies said on Wednesday.

SoftBank Group Corp. will be the first to build a supercomputer with chips using Nvidia Corp.’s new Blackwell design, a demonstration of the Japanese company’s ambitions to catch up on AI.

Amazon: AWS said researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of California, Berkeley, are taking part in the program. The company plans to make 40,000 of the first-generation Trainium chips available for the program.

Amazon reportedly will manufacture its own artificial intelligence chips. That will put it in competition with AI darling Nvidia.

Web Services is looking to take on Nvidia’s (NVDA) dominance in artificial intelligence chips with a new offer to AI researchers.
