Overview

• Reuters reports that Rami Sinno, a senior AWS Annapurna Labs engineering leader, is leaving Amazon to help Arm develop its own complete chip.
• Sinno previously played a key role in Amazon’s Trainium and Inferentia programs built for large-scale AI training and inference.
• Arm has outlined plans to reinvest a portion of profits into building chips and components and is exploring chiplet-based designs under CEO Rene Haas.
• The company has been assembling end-to-end expertise with recent hires including Nicolas Dube and Steve Halter as it builds toward full product development.
• No Arm-branded chip has been announced, and the push sets up fresh competition with Nvidia, Intel and AMD as well as hyperscalers developing in-house accelerators.
