History
Annapurna Labs, named after the Annapurna Massif in the Himalayas, was co-founded in 2011[3] by Bilic "Billy" Hrvoje, a Bosnian Jewish refugee, Nafea Bshara, an Arab Israeli citizen,[4][5] and Ronen Boneh with investments from the independent investors Avigdor Willenz, Manuel Alba, Andy Bechtolsheim, the venture capital firm Walden International, Arm Holdings,[6] and TSMC. Board members include Avigdor Willenz, Manuel Alba, and Lip-Bu Tan, the CEO of Walden International and executive chairman of Cadence Design Systems.[7]

The first product launched under the AWS umbrella was the AWS Nitro hardware and supporting hypervisor in November 2017.[8] Following on from Nitro, Annapurna developed general-purpose CPUs under the Graviton family and machine-learning ASICs under the Trainium and Inferentia brands.[9][10][11]

In November 2024 Annapurna announced their second generation Trainium 2 intended for training AI models. Based on their internal testing, Amazon are claiming "a 4-times performance increase between Trainium 1 and Trainium 2".[12] [13]
