Uber Technologies is expanding its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to upgrade infrastructure and artificial intelligence. The company will deploy custom-designed Graviton and Trainium chips to power real-time ride-matching and delivery systems.
These hardware upgrades aim to connect drivers and riders more efficiently during peak demand. Uber will use the specialized chips to train AI models for calculating arrival times and personalizing user experiences.
The collaboration seeks to make complex model training faster and more cost-effective. Shares of both Uber and Amazon traded slightly lower following the announcement, mirroring broader market movements.
