You can now achieve significant performance improvements when using Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import, with reduced end-to-end latency, faster time-to-first-token, and improved throughput through advanced PyTorch compilation and CUDA graph optimizations. With Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import you can to bring your own foundation models to Amazon Bedrock for deployment and inference at scale. In this post, we introduce how to use the improvements in Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import.

In this post, we demonstrate that fine-tuning VLMs provides a powerful and flexible approach to automate and significantly enhance document understanding capabilities. We also demonstrate that using focused fine-tuning allows smaller, multi-modal models to compete effectively with much larger counterparts (98% accuracy with Qwen2.5 VL 3B).

February 2024: This post was reviewed and updated for accuracy. This post is co-written with Thatcher Thornberry from bpx energy.  Facies classification is the process of segmenting lithologic formations from geologic data at the wellbore location. During drilling, wireline logs are obtained, which have depth-dependent geologic information. Geologists are deployed to analyze this log data […]

One of the most exciting AWS re:Invent 2020 announcements was a new Amazon SageMaker feature, purpose built to help detect bias in machine learning (ML) models and explain model predictions: Amazon SageMaker Clarify. In today’s world where predictions are made by ML algorithms at scale, it’s increasingly important for large tech organizations to be able […]
