QuestionQ162

Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions

A company needs to build its own large language model (LLM) based on only the company's private data. The company is concerned about the environmental effect of the training process.

Which Amazon EC2 instance type has the LEAST environmental effect when training LLMs?

  • A Amazon EC2 C series
  • B Amazon EC2 G series
  • C Amazon EC2 P series
  • D Amazon EC2 Trn series
Explanation

Amazon EC2 Trn series instances (Trainium) are purpose-built for training deep learning models with optimized energy efficiency. AWS-designed Trainium chips deliver superior performance-per-watt compared to general-purpose instances. General-purpose C series instances lack specialized ML optimization, G series uses older GPU technology less efficient for training, and P series uses consumer-grade GPUs—the Trn series is specifically engineered to minimize environmental impact of large-scale LLM training.
