Deepgram improves Nova-3 speech-to-text efficiency on AWS trainium2

Deepgram processes quadrillions of audio tokens a year for more than 200,000 developers and 1,400 organizations. To cut inference costs, the company ported its Nova-3 speech‑to‑text model to AWS Trainium2 using TorchNeuron, replacing several layers with pre‑built kernels from the public NKI Library and tuning them with Neuron Explorer and the Neuron Agentic Development toolkit. The final setup…

Key points

  • Deepgram’s Nova-3 runs eight replicas on a single trn2.3xlarge Trainium2 instance.
  • Offline batch workloads processed 11–70% more audio per dollar versus previous compute options.
  • Rust data‑parallel runtime achieved a 7.5% throughput boost over the multiprocessing baseline.

In offline, throughput‑oriented batch workloads the Trainium2 configuration delivered 11–70 percent more audio per dollar than Deepgram’s prior compute options, based on instance pricing at the time of evaluation. A custom Rust data‑parallel runtime eliminated Python interpreter overhead and added a 7.5 percent throughput gain over a multiprocessing Python baseline. These improvements lower costs for Deepgram’s customers and demonstrate that AWS Trainium can be an efficient platform for large‑scale voice AI inference.
