Interviewing after accepting offer

I am a non-target and worked really hard to get a boutique IB internship with a MM bank this January. However, after I accepted the offer a BB bank I applied to a couple months ago reached out to set up an interview for the same semester that my boutique internship is. I have been having doubts about going through the process at the BB because I have already accepted another offer and I really like the group at the boutique, although I know the BB would be better for my career. The only other time I could get an internship before I graduate would be for fall 2023 positions. Do you think it would be best to message the BB recruiter and let them know I won't be able to go through the process for this semester, and I would love to be considered for Fall 2023 positions when they/if they open up with the bank, or just go through the interview process with them?

Go through the process and don't rescind or fall through on offers. Absolutely don't interview with other firms after accepting an offer, either. 

For an internship, both jobs seem like a pretty good deal. Why would you test your chances doing something that could get you in a lot of trouble with either firm? 

Also other people on here would tell you to test around and interview ("it's the game brah") but frankly I think it's a stupid thing to do. Message recruiters for the firm you really want to do and let them know you previously accepted a commitment, but show that you'd be open to rejoining whenever available.
