Training a frontier model is highly compute-intensive, requiring a distributed system of hundreds, or thousands, of accelerated instances running for several weeks or months to complete a single job. For example, pre-training the Llama 3 70B model with 15 trillion training tokens took 6.5 million H100 GPU hours. On 256Continue Reading

Foundation model (FM) training and inference has led to a significant increase in computational needs across the industry. These models require massive amounts of accelerated compute to train and operate effectively, pushing the boundaries of traditional computing infrastructure. They require efficient systems for distributing workloads across multiple GPU accelerated servers,Continue Reading
When implementing machine learning (ML) workflows in Amazon SageMaker Canvas, organizations might need to consider external dependencies required for their specific use cases. Although SageMaker Canvas provides powerful no-code and low-code capabilities for rapid experimentation, some projects might require specialized dependencies and libraries that aren’t included by default in SageMakerContinue Reading
Amazon SageMaker JumpStart is a machine learning (ML) hub that provides pre-trained models, solution templates, and algorithms to help developers quickly get started with machine learning. Within SageMaker JumpStart, the private model hub feature allows organizations to create their own internal repository of ML models, enabling teams to share andContinue Reading
Deploying models efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively is a critical challenge for organizations of all sizes. As organizations increasingly deploy foundation models (FMs) and other machine learning (ML) models to production, they face challenges related to resource utilization, cost-efficiency, and maintaining high availability during updates. Amazon SageMaker AI introduced inference componentContinue Reading
Today we are announcing that general availability of Amazon Bedrock in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. Companies of all sizes face mounting pressure to operate efficiently as they manage growing volumes of data, systems, and customer interactions. Manual processes and fragmented information sources can create bottlenecks and slow decision-making, limiting teamsContinue Reading
