The Institute of Science Tokyo has successfully trained Llama 3.3 Swallow, a 70-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) with enhanced Japanese capabilities, using Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. The model demonstrates superior performance in Japanese language tasks, outperforming GPT-4o-mini and other leading models. This technical report details the training infrastructure, optimizations, and best practices developed during the project.

In this post, we discuss how an enterprise with multiple accounts can access a shared Amazon SageMaker HyperPod cluster for running their heterogenous workloads. We use SageMaker HyperPod task governance to enable this feature.

In this post, we demonstrate how to deploy a small language model on SageMaker AI by extending our pre-built containers to be compatible with AWS Graviton instances. We first provide an overview of the solution, and then provide detailed implementation steps to help you get started. You can find the example notebook in the GitHub repo.

This post explores deploying a text-to-SQL pipeline using generative AI models and Amazon Bedrock to ask natural language questions to a genomics database. We demonstrate how to implement an AI assistant web interface with AWS Amplify and explain the prompt engineering strategies adopted to generate the SQL queries. Finally, we present instructions to deploy the service in your own AWS account.

Rufus, an AI-powered shopping assistant, relies on many components to deliver its customer experience including a foundation LLM (for response generation) and a query planner (QP) model for query classification and retrieval enhancement. This post focuses on how the QP model used draft centric speculative decoding (SD)—also called parallel decoding—with AWS AI chips to meet the demands of Prime Day. By combining parallel decoding with AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips, Rufus achieved two times faster response times, a 50% reduction in inference costs, and seamless scalability during peak traffic.

In this post, we present a solution to incorporate Amazon Bedrock Agents in your Slack workspace. We guide you through configuring a Slack workspace, deploying integration components in Amazon Web Services, and using this solution.

In this post, we demonstrate a solution using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Amazon Bedrock to build scalable and containerized RAG solutions for your generative AI applications on AWS while bringing your unstructured user file data to Amazon Bedrock in a straightforward, fast, and secure way.

Recognizing the transformative benefits of generative AI for enterprises, we at Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division sought to enhance how users interact with our Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) products. Understanding these advantages, we partnered with AWS to embark on a journey to develop HxGN Alix, an AI-powered digital worker using AWS generative AI services. This blog post explores the strategy, development, and implementation of HxGN Alix, demonstrating how a tailored AI solution can drive efficiency and enhance user satisfaction.

In this post, we showcase how Dr. Kori Ramajoo, Dr. Sonia Brownsett, Prof. David Copland, from QARC, and Scott Harding, a person living with aphasia, used AWS services to develop WordFinder, a mobile, cloud-based solution that helps individuals with aphasia increase their independence through the use of AWS generative AI technology.

In this post, we use the multi-agent feature of Amazon Bedrock to demonstrate a powerful and innovative approach to AWS cost management. By using the advanced capabilities of Amazon Nova FMs, we’ve developed a solution that showcases how AI-driven agents can revolutionize the way organizations analyze, optimize, and manage their AWS costs.
