Amazon Reports $15 Billion AI Revenue Run Rate as AWS Expands AI Offerings

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that Amazon Web Services has reached an AI revenue run rate of more than $15 billion, according to a company announcement. Jassy shared the update during Amazon’s first quarter 2026 earnings call, noting that the growth rate far exceeds the company’s early cloud expansion.

AWS added new offerings including OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 model on Bedrock, with GPT-5.5 expected soon. The company also began previewing Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents, powered by OpenAI, which allow organizations to build generative AI applications and agents at production scale.

Jassy highlighted strong adoption of AWS tools such as Strands, AgentCore, and Quick. Strands has been downloaded over 25 million times, while Quick’s new desktop app can query and summarize data from email, calendars, and local files. The number of developers using Kiro more than doubled quarter over quarter, and enterprise usage of Quick grew nearly tenfold.

Amazon’s chips business also recorded nearly 40 percent quarter over quarter growth. The company’s collaboration with Anthropic continues to expand, with Anthropic securing up to 5 gigawatts of Amazon Trainium chips to train and power its AI models.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
