Category: Foundation models

As the model landscape expands, organizations face complex scenarios when selecting the right foundation model for their applications. In this blog post we present a systematic evaluation methodology for Amazon Bedrock users, combining theoretical frameworks with practical implementation strategies that empower data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers to make optimal model selections.

This post is the second part of the GPT-OSS series focusing on model customization with Amazon SageMaker AI. In Part 1, we demonstrated fine-tuning GPT-OSS models using open source Hugging Face libraries with SageMaker training jobs, which supports distributed multi-GPU and multi-node configurations, so you can spin up high-performance clusters on demand. In this post, […]

Released on August 5, 2025, OpenAI’s GPT-OSS models, gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b, are now available on AWS through Amazon SageMaker AI and Amazon Bedrock. In this post, we walk through the process of fine-tuning a GPT-OSS model in a fully managed training environment using SageMaker AI training jobs.

At the AWS Summit in New York City, we introduced a comprehensive suite of model customization capabilities for Amazon Nova foundation models. Available as ready-to-use recipes on Amazon SageMaker AI, you can use them to adapt Nova Micro, Nova Lite, and Nova Pro across the model training lifecycle, including pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and alignment. In this post, we present a streamlined approach to customize Nova Micro in SageMaker training jobs.

In this post, we walk through the custom model on-demand deployment workflow for Amazon Bedrock and provide step-by-step implementation guides using both the AWS Management Console and APIs or AWS SDKs. We also discuss best practices and considerations for deploying customized Amazon Nova models on Amazon Bedrock.

Today, we’re excited to announce a significant improvement to the developer experience of Amazon Bedrock: API keys. API keys provide quick access to the Amazon Bedrock APIs, streamlining the authentication process so that developers can focus on building rather than configuration.

In this post, we guide you through the stages of customizing large language models (LLMs) with SageMaker Unified Studio and SageMaker AI, covering the end-to-end process starting from data discovery to fine-tuning FMs with SageMaker AI distributed training, tracking metrics using MLflow, and then deploying models using SageMaker AI inference for real-time inference. We also discuss best practices to choose the right instance size and share some debugging best practices while working with JupyterLab notebooks in SageMaker Unified Studio.

In this post, we shared how an internal technology team at Amazon evaluated Amazon Nova models, resulting in notable improvements in inference speed and cost-efficiency.

You can now import custom weights for Qwen2, Qwen2_VL, and Qwen2_5_VL architectures, including models like Qwen 2, 2.5 Coder, Qwen 2.5 VL, and QwQ 32B. In this post, we cover how to deploy Qwen 2.5 models with Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import, making them accessible to organizations looking to use state-of-the-art AI capabilities within the AWS infrastructure at an effective cost.

Learn how Articul8 is redefining enterprise generative AI with domain-specific models that outperform general-purpose LLMs in real-world applications. In our latest blog post, we dive into how Amazon SageMaker HyperPod accelerated the development of Articul8’s industry-leading semiconductor model—achieving 2X higher accuracy that top open source models while slashing deployment time by 4X.
