In a playful demo amplified by danielc0deb0t, bztree shows the classic Bad Apple!! animation running directly on an AWS Trainium accelerator — using it to praise Trainium as having "by far the best profiler of any accelerator": nanosecond-accurate traces so precise you can reliably write a program that generates images inside the profiler. A fun demo that doubles as a look at Trainium's unusually fine-grained tooling.
