Modern model pre-training often calls for larger cluster deployment to reduce time and cost. At the server level, such training workloads demand faster compute and increased memory allocation. As models grow to hundreds of billions of parameters, they require a distributed training mechanism that spans multiple nodes (instances). In October 2022, we launched Amazon EC2 […]

Recent developments in deep learning have led to increasingly large models such as GPT-3, BLOOM, and OPT, some of which are already in excess of 100 billion parameters. Although larger models tend to be more powerful, training such models requires significant computational resources. Even with the use of advanced distributed training libraries like FSDP and […]

Monitoring machine learning (ML) predictions can help improve the quality of deployed models. Capturing the data from inferences made in production can enable you to monitor your deployed models and detect deviations in model quality. Early and proactive detection of these deviations enables you to take corrective actions, such as retraining models, auditing upstream systems, […]

This post was co-written with Sachin Kadyan, a leading developer of OpenFold. In drug discovery, understanding the 3D structure of proteins is key to assessing the ability of a drug to bind to it, directly impacting its efficacy. Predicting the 3D protein form, however, is very complex, challenging, expensive, and time consuming, and can take […]

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G5 instances are the first and only instances in the cloud to feature NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core GPUs, which you can use for a wide range of graphics-intensive and machine learning (ML) use cases. With G5 instances, ML customers get high performance and a cost-efficient infrastructure to train and […]

In this post, we demonstrate how Kubeflow on AWS (an AWS-specific distribution of Kubeflow) used with AWS Deep Learning Containers and Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) simplifies collaboration and provides flexibility in training deep learning models at scale on both Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon SageMaker utilizing a hybrid architecture approach. […]

Amazon’s product search engine indexes billions of products, serves hundreds of millions of customers worldwide, and is one of the most heavily used services in the world. The Amazon Search team develops machine learning (ML) technology that powers the Amazon.com search engine and helps customers search effortlessly. To deliver a great customer experience and operate […]

Distributed deep learning model training is becoming increasingly important as data sizes are growing in many industries. Many applications in computer vision and natural language processing now require training of deep learning models, which are growing exponentially in complexity and are often trained with hundreds of terabytes of data. It then becomes important to use […]

In the AWS Deep Learning Challenge held from January 5, 2022, to March 1, 2022, participants from academia, startups, and enterprise organizations joined to test their skills and train a deep learning model of their choice using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) DL1 instances and Habana’s SynapseAI SDK. The EC2 DL1 instances powered by […]

After data scientists carefully come up with a satisfying machine learning (ML) model, the model must be deployed to be easily accessible for inference by other members of the organization. However, deploying models at scale with optimized cost and compute efficiencies can be a daunting and cumbersome task. Amazon SageMaker endpoints provide an easily scalable […]
