Rationale
Amazon EC2 Inf2 Instances are purpose-built for deep learning inference, specifically for generative AI models like large language models (LLMs) and vision transformers. The website explicitly mentions use cases such as text summarization (conversational AI), code generation, and video and image generation, directly aligning with several 'must-have' and 'other' features. While it provides the infrastructure for these AI capabilities, it doesn't directly offer a safety & alignment framework or research publications as a core product feature, but rather the underlying compute for such applications. It also offers enterprise-grade solutions through its EC2 offerings.
