Rack scale architecture? Only three players nailed it so far: NVIDIA, AWS, and Google.

What makes Trn3 stand out is its switched scale-up topology—second only to NVIDIA to pull this off. This design shines when you're dealing with cutting-edge mixture of experts models, where flexibility matters more than brute force.

AWS seems to be fixing some software headaches with Trainium3, which is smart. As for those switch design decisions... let's just say they're raising eyebrows. Bold moves, questionable execution, or genius we don't see yet? Time will tell.

Haha, out of the three giants, only two really understand how to play with switch topology. Is AWS fixing bugs here or digging a pit...

NGL, the topology design of TRN3 is actually pretty impressive, but the AWS software stack still needs some refinement.

NGL, it's a bit ridiculous that these three companies are monopolizing rack-scale architecture... AWS's software stack improvements are pretty good, but their hardware design is still something they can't quite figure out.

The architecture of Trn3 is indeed impressive, but I can't quite understand that switch design by AWS. Is it truly innovative or just over-engineered?

To be honest, the Trn3 architecture is indeed interesting, but I can't really understand some of those switch design decisions by AWS.
