From autonomous robotics to state of-the-art computer vision, Caltech and Amazon have a lot in common, including the belief that pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will not only disrupt industries, but it will fundamentally change the nature of scientific research. We believe these technologies have the potential to transform […]

Out of all of the innovations that are being driven by cloud, the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are perhaps the most exciting. IDC, as an example, is forecasting that the market for AI systems to be $46 billion by 2020. This is up from $12.5 billion in 2017 and growing at […]

This year at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference, AWS and NVIDIA partnered on multiple initiatives. The first is an exciting new Volta-based GPU instance that we think will completely change the face of the AI developer world through a 3x speedup on LSTM training. Second, we are announcing plans to train 100,000+ developers through the Deep […]

This year at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference, AWS is hosting several tech sessions ranging from how to get started with Apache MXNet to running deep learning on IoT devices on the edge. If you’re in Silicon Valley the week of May 8, we hope that you’ll join us for the following sessions. An Introduction to […]

From Apache MXNet to Torch, there is no shortage of frameworks for deep learners to leverage. The various offerings each excel at different aspects of the deep learning pipeline and each meets different developer needs. The research-centric community tends to gravitate toward frameworks such as Theano, Torch and most recently PyTorch, while many in the […]

In recent years, deep learning has significantly improved several AI applications, such as recommendation engines, voice and speech recognition, and image and video recognition. Many customers process the massive amounts of data that feed these deep neural networks in Apache Spark, only to later feed it into a separate infrastructure to train models using popular […]

We are excited to announce that the AWS Deep Learning AMI for Ubuntu now supports the newly launched Caffe2 project led by Facebook. AWS is the best and most open place for developers to run deep learning, and the addition of Caffe2 adds yet another choice. To learn more about Caffe2, check out the the […]

We are excited to announce that an AWS Deep Learning AMI for Ubuntu is now available in the AWS Marketplace in addition to the Amazon Linux version. The AWS Deep Learning AMI, now available on AWS Marketplace, lets you run deep learning in the Cloud, at any scale. Launch instances of pre-installed, open source deep learning […]
