In this post, we introduce checkpointless training on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, a paradigm shift in model training that reduces the need for traditional checkpointing by enabling peer-to-peer state recovery. Results from production-scale validation show 80–93% reduction in recovery time (from 15–30 minutes or more to under 2 minutes) and enables up to 95% training goodput on cluster sizes with thousands of AI accelerators.

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports elastic training, enabling your machine learning (ML) workloads to automatically scale based on resource availability. In this post, we demonstrate how elastic training helps you maximize GPU utilization, reduce costs, and accelerate model development through dynamic resource adaptation, while maintain training quality and minimizing manual intervention.

In this post, we introduce Managed Tiered KV Cache and Intelligent Routing for Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, new capabilities that can reduce time to first token by up to 40% and lower compute costs by up to 25% for long context prompts and multi-turn conversations. These features automatically manage distributed KV caching infrastructure and intelligent request routing, making it easier to deploy production-scale LLM inference workloads with enterprise-grade performance while significantly reducing operational overhead.

In this post, we explore how Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, enabling you to partition powerful GPUs into multiple isolated instances for running concurrent workloads like inference, research, and interactive development. By maximizing GPU utilization and reducing wasted resources, MIG helps organizations optimize costs while maintaining performance isolation and predictable quality of service across diverse machine learning tasks.

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) orchestration now support creating and managing interactive development environments such as JupyterLab and open source Visual Studio Code, streamlining the ML development lifecycle by providing managed environments for familiar tools to data scientists. This post shows how HyperPod administrators can configure Spaces for their clusters, and how data scientists can create and connect to these Spaces.

This blog post introduces two major enhancements to Amazon SageMaker HyperPod that strengthen security and storage capabilities for large-scale machine learning infrastructure. The new features include customer managed key (CMK) support for encrypting EBS volumes with organization-controlled encryption keys, and Amazon EBS CSI driver integration that enables dynamic storage management for Kubernetes volumes in AI workloads.

In this post, we demonstrate how to deploy and manage machine learning training workloads using the Amazon SageMaker HyperPod training operator, which enhances training resilience for Kubernetes workloads through pinpoint recovery and customizable monitoring capabilities. The Amazon SageMaker HyperPod training operator helps accelerate generative AI model development by efficiently managing distributed training across large GPU clusters, offering benefits like centralized training process monitoring, granular process recovery, and hanging job detection that can reduce recovery times from tens of minutes to seconds.

In this post, we show how Splash Music is setting a new standard for AI-powered music creation by using its advanced HummingLM model with AWS Trainium on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. As a selected startup in the 2024 AWS Generative AI Accelerator, Splash Music collaborated closely with AWS Startups and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) to fast-track innovation and accelerate their music generation FM development lifecycle.

In this post, we demonstrate how to integrate Amazon SageMaker HyperPod with Anyscale platform to address critical infrastructure challenges in building and deploying large-scale AI models. The combined solution provides robust infrastructure for distributed AI workloads with high-performance hardware, continuous monitoring, and seamless integration with Ray, the leading AI compute engine, enabling organizations to reduce time-to-market and lower total cost of ownership.

In this post, we introduce topology-aware scheduling with SageMaker HyperPod task governance by submitting jobs that represent hierarchical network information. We provide details about how to use SageMaker HyperPod task governance to optimize your job efficiency.
