Build an offline feature store using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and SageMaker Catalog

This blog post provides step-by-step guidance on implementing an offline feature store using SageMaker Catalog within a SageMaker Unified Studio domain. By adopting a publish-subscribe pattern, data producers can use this solution to publish curated, versioned feature tables—while data consumers can securely discover, subscribe to, and reuse them for model development.

Building custom model provider for Strands Agents with LLMs hosted on SageMaker AI endpoints

This post demonstrates how to build custom model parsers for Strands agents when working with LLMs hosted on SageMaker that don’t natively support the Bedrock Messages API format. We’ll walk through deploying Llama 3.1 with SGLang on SageMaker using awslabs/ml-container-creator, then implementing a custom parser to integrate it with Strands agents.

Large model inference container – latest capabilities and performance enhancements

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.

Efficiently serve dozens of fine-tuned models with vLLM on Amazon SageMaker AI and Amazon Bedrock

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.

Train CodeFu-7B with veRL and Ray on Amazon SageMaker Training jobs

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.

How Sonrai uses Amazon SageMaker AI to accelerate precision medicine trials

In this post, we explore how Sonrai, a life sciences AI company, partnered with AWS to build a robust MLOps framework using Amazon SageMaker AI that addresses these challenges while maintaining the traceability and reproducibility required in regulated environments.

Accelerating AI model production at Hexagon with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

In this blog post, we demonstrate how Hexagon collaborated with Amazon Web Services to scale their AI model production by pretraining state-of-the-art segmentation models, using the model training infrastructure of Amazon SageMaker HyperPod.

Agentic AI with multi-model framework using Hugging Face smolagents on AWS

Hugging Face smolagents is an open source Python library designed to make it straightforward to build and run agents using a few lines of code. We will show you how to build an agentic AI solution by integrating Hugging Face smolagents with Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed services. You’ll learn how to deploy a healthcare AI agent that demonstrates multi-model deployment options, vector-enhanced knowledge retrieval, and clinical decision support capabilities.
