Amazon (AMZN) plans to sell its Trainium AI chips outside AWS in late 2027, according to CEO Andy Jassy. The company's Q3 earnings missed expectations, with revenue and EPS trailing estimates, and free cash flow at negative $42.4 billion. Shares fell about 7% after hours. Jassy noted that selling chips generates immediate revenue, while keeping them in AWS drives more long-term revenue and free cash flow.
