Delivering successful COBOL modernization requires a solution that can reverse engineer deterministically, produce validated and traceable specs, and help those specs flow into any AI-powered coding assistant for the forward engineering. A successful modernization requires both reverse engineering and forward engineering. Learn more about COBOL in this post.

In this post, we explore reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) for Amazon Nova models, which can be a powerful customization technique that learns through evaluation rather than imitation. We’ll cover how RFT works, when to use it versus supervised fine-tuning, real-world applications from code generation to customer service, and implementation options ranging from fully managed Amazon Bedrock to multi-turn agentic workflows with Nova Forge. You’ll also learn practical guidance on data preparation, reward function design, and best practices for achieving optimal results.

AWS recently released significant updates to the Large Model Inference (LMI) container, delivering comprehensive performance improvements, expanded model support, and streamlined deployment capabilities for customers hosting LLMs on AWS. These releases focus on reducing operational complexity while delivering measurable performance gains across popular model architectures.

In this post, we explain how we implemented multi-LoRA inference for Mixture of Experts (MoE) models in vLLM, describe the kernel-level optimizations we performed, and show you how you can benefit from this work. We use GPT-OSS 20B as our primary example throughout this post.

This post demonstrates how to quickly deploy a production-ready event assistant using the components of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. We’ll build an intelligent companion that remembers attendee preferences and builds personalized experiences over time, while Amazon Bedrock AgentCore handles the heavy lifting of production deployment: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory for maintaining both conversation context and long-term preferences without custom storage solutions, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Identity for secure multi-IDP authentication, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime for serverless scaling and session isolation. We will also use Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases for managed RAG and event data retrieval.

In this post, we show you how to build a comprehensive photo search system using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) that integrates Amazon Rekognition for face and object detection, Amazon Neptune for relationship mapping, and Amazon Bedrock for AI-powered captioning.

In this post, we demonstrate how to train CodeFu-7B, a specialized 7-billion parameter model for competitive programming, using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with veRL, a flexible and efficient training library for large language models (LLMs) that enables straightforward extension of diverse RL algorithms and seamless integration with existing LLM infrastructure, within a distributed Ray cluster managed by SageMaker training jobs. We walk through the complete implementation, covering data preparation, distributed training setup, and comprehensive observability, showcasing how this unified approach delivers both computational scale and developer experience for sophisticated RL training workloads.

This post explores the implementation of Dottxt’s Outlines framework as a practical approach to implementing structured outputs using AWS Marketplace in Amazon SageMaker.

In this post, we are exciting to announce availability of Global CRIS for customers in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan and give a walkthrough of technical implementation steps, and cover quota management best practices to maximize the value of your AI Inference deployments. We also provide guidance on best practices for production deployments.

We’re excited to announce the availability of Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 through Amazon Bedrock global cross-Region inference for customers operating in the Middle East. In this post, we guide you through the capabilities of each Anthropic Claude model variant, the key advantages of global cross-Region inference including improved resilience, real-world use cases you can implement, and a code example to help you start building generative AI applications immediately.
