At IAA MOBILITY in September 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. underscored the companies’ efforts to co-innovate purpose-built industry solutions with Qualcomm Technologies. We’ve now reached the first major milestone in the companies’ joint efforts with the general availability of new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) DL2q instances. Powered by Qualcomm® Cloud AI 100 for cloud AI inferencing. The Amazon EC2 DL2q instances serve as the first instance types to bring Qualcomm Technologies’ AI solution to the cloud on AWS.

Amazon EC2 DL2q instances are used by OEM engineers to develop then validate performance and accuracy of deep learning (DL) workloads for Qualcomm devices like AD/ADAS (Autonomous Driving/ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). DL2q instances feature the same AI technology used in smartphones, autonomous driving, personal computers, and extended reality headsets, so they are ideal for development and validation of these AI workloads before deployment by OEM engineers. They can also be used to more cost-efficiently deploy DL workloads in the cloud.
