In this post, we discuss the challenges faced by organizations when updating models in production. Then we deep dive into the new rolling update feature for inference components and provide practical examples using DeepSeek distilled models to demonstrate this feature. Finally, we explore how to set up rolling updates in different scenarios.

In this post, we show how SageMaker HyperPod, and its new features introduced at AWS re:Invent 2024, is designed to meet the demands of modern AI workloads, offering a persistent and optimized cluster tailored for distributed training and accelerated inference at cloud scale and attractive price-performance.

In this post, we outline how to get started with deploying the Qwen 2.5 family of models on an Inferentia instance using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon SageMaker using the Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI) container and the Hugging Face Optimum Neuron library. Qwen2.5 Coder and Math variants are also supported.

In this post, we demonstrate how to optimize hosting DeepSeek-R1 distilled models with Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI) on Amazon SageMaker AI.

Deploying DeepSeek models on SageMaker AI provides a robust solution for organizations seeking to use state-of-the-art language models in their applications. In this post, we show how to use the distilled models in SageMaker AI, which offers several options to deploy the distilled versions of the R1 model.

In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of integrating Chronos into Amazon SageMaker Pipeline using a synthetic dataset that simulates a sales forecasting scenario, unlocking accurate and efficient predictions with minimal data.

In this two-part series, we discuss how you can reduce the DeepSeek model customization complexity by using the pre-built fine-tuning workflows (also called “recipes”) for both DeepSeek-R1 model and its distilled variations, released as part of Amazon SageMaker HyperPod recipes. In this first post, we will build a solution architecture for fine-tuning DeepSeek-R1 distilled models and demonstrate the approach by providing a step-by-step example on customizing the DeepSeek-R1 Distill Qwen 7b model using recipes, achieving an average of 25% on all the Rouge scores, with a maximum of 49% on Rouge 2 score with both SageMaker HyperPod and SageMaker training jobs. The second part of the series will focus on fine-tuning the DeepSeek-R1 671b model itself.

In this post, we share how we modernized Rocket Companies’ data science solution on AWS to increase the speed to delivery from eight weeks to under one hour, improve operational stability and support by reducing incident tickets by over 99% in 18 months, power 10 million automated data science and AI decisions made daily, and provide a seamless data science development experience.

Researchers developed Medusa, a framework to speed up LLM inference by adding extra heads to predict multiple tokens simultaneously. This post demonstrates how to use Medusa-1, the first version of the framework, to speed up an LLM by fine-tuning it on Amazon SageMaker AI and confirms the speed up with deployment and a simple load test. Medusa-1 achieves an inference speedup of around two times without sacrificing model quality, with the exact improvement varying based on model size and data used. In this post, we demonstrate its effectiveness with a 1.8 times speedup observed on a sample dataset.

GraphStorm is a low-code enterprise graph machine learning (ML) framework that provides ML practitioners a simple way of building, training, and deploying graph ML solutions on industry-scale graph data. In this post, we demonstrate how GraphBolt enhances GraphStorm’s performance in distributed settings. We provide a hands-on example of using GraphStorm with GraphBolt on SageMaker for distributed training. Lastly, we share how to use Amazon SageMaker Pipelines with GraphStorm.
