We are excited to announce the general availability of fine-grained compute and memory quota allocation with HyperPod task governance. With this capability, customers can optimize Amazon SageMaker HyperPod cluster utilization on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), distribute fair usage, and support efficient resource allocation across different teams or projects. For more information, see HyperPod task governance best […]

In this post, we demonstrate how a research university implemented SageMaker HyperPod to accelerate AI research by using dynamic SLURM partitions, fine-grained GPU resource management, budget-aware compute cost tracking, and multi-login node load balancing—all integrated seamlessly into the SageMaker HyperPod environment.

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the new Amazon SageMaker HyperPod CLI and SDK to streamline the process of training and deploying large AI models through practical examples of distributed training using Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) and model deployment for inference. The tools provide simplified workflows through straightforward commands for common tasks, while offering flexible development options through the SDK for more complex requirements, along with comprehensive observability features and production-ready deployment capabilities.

With the new cluster creation experience, you can create your SageMaker HyperPod clusters, including the required prerequisite AWS resources, in one click, with prescriptive default values automatically applied. In this post, we explore the new cluster creation experience for Amazon SageMaker HyperPod.

In this post, we announce that Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports managed node automatic scaling with Karpenter, enabling efficient scaling of SageMaker HyperPod clusters to meet inference and training demands. We dive into the benefits of Karpenter and provide details on enabling and configuring Karpenter in SageMaker HyperPod EKS clusters.

In this post, we introduced three features in SageMaker HyperPod that enhance scalability and customizability for ML infrastructure. Continuous provisioning offers flexible resource provisioning to help you start training and deploying your models faster and manage your cluster more efficiently. With custom AMIs, you can align your ML environments with organizational security standards and software requirements.

In this post, we review the technical specifications of P6e-GB200 UltraServers, discuss their performance benefits, and highlight key use cases. We then walk though how to purchase UltraServer capacity through flexible training plans and get started using UltraServers with SageMaker HyperPod.

In 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) launched the Generative AI Accelerator Challenge (GENIAC)—a Japanese national program to boost generative AI by providing companies with funding, mentorship, and massive compute resources for foundation model (FM) development. AWS was selected as the cloud provider for GENIAC’s second cycle (cycle 2). It provided infrastructure and technical guidance for 12 participating organizations.

This post is co-written with Zhanghao Wu, co-creator of SkyPilot. The rapid advancement of generative AI and foundation models (FMs) has significantly increased computational resource requirements for machine learning (ML) workloads. Modern ML pipelines require efficient systems for distributing workloads across accelerated compute resources, while making sure developer productivity remains high. Organizations need infrastructure solutions […]

In this post, we share some of the new innovations in SageMaker AI that can accelerate how you build and train AI models. These innovations include new observability capabilities in SageMaker HyperPod, the ability to deploy JumpStart models on HyperPod, remote connections to SageMaker AI from local development environments, and fully managed MLflow 3.0.
