Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA are deepening their long-standing strategic partnership to advance generative AI capabilities through new infrastructure offerings. The collaboration, announced on June 11, 2025, centers on bringing NVIDIA's powerful Blackwell GPU platform to AWS cloud services.
AWS will be among the first cloud providers to offer NVIDIA's GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip and B100 Tensor Core GPUs. This next-generation hardware is designed specifically to handle the massive computational demands of today's most advanced AI workloads.
"The deep collaboration between our two organizations goes back more than 13 years, when together we launched the world's first GPU cloud instance on AWS, and today we offer the widest range of NVIDIA GPU solutions for customers," said Adam Selipsky, CEO at AWS. He emphasized that NVIDIA's Grace Blackwell processor represents "a significant step forward in generative AI and GPU computing."
The partnership integrates NVIDIA's hardware and AI software with AWS's infrastructure advantages, including the Nitro System for advanced virtualization and security, Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) for petabit-scale networking, and Amazon EC2 UltraCluster for hyper-scale clustering. Together, these technologies enable customers to build and run multi-trillion parameter large language models faster and more securely than previous solutions.
NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture represents a substantial leap forward in AI computing capabilities. The platform features six transformative technologies for accelerated computing, including the world's most powerful chip with 208 billion transistors, manufactured using a custom-built 4NP TSMC process. When deployed in AWS's infrastructure, the GB200 NVL72 configuration connects 72 Blackwell GPUs and 36 Grace CPUs through NVIDIA's fifth-generation NVLink technology.
While initial availability of Blackwell-powered systems on AWS was expected by the end of 2024, production challenges have pushed the timeline to early 2025. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has confirmed that the company has successfully ramped up "massive-scale production of Blackwell AI supercomputers," achieving billions of dollars in sales in its first quarter of availability.
This partnership comes at a critical time as demand for AI infrastructure continues to accelerate across industries. By combining their respective technological strengths, AWS and NVIDIA aim to maintain their leadership positions in the rapidly evolving AI landscape while providing customers with the tools needed to develop and deploy next-generation AI applications.
