AWS AI chips deliver high performance and low cost for Llama 3.1 models on AWS

Today, we are excited to announce AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia support for fine-tuning and inference of the Llama 3.1 models. The Llama 3.1 family of multilingual large language models (LLMs) is a collection of pre-trained and instruction tuned generative models in 8B, 70B, and 405B sizes. In a previous post, we covered how to deploy Llama 3 models on AWS Trainium and Inferentia based instances in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. In this post, we outline how to get started with fine-tuning and deploying the Llama 3.1 family of models on AWS AI chips, to realize their price-performance benefits.

Llama 3.1 models are now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

Today, we are excited to announce that the state-of-the-art Llama 3.1 collection of multilingual large language models (LLMs), which includes pre-trained and instruction tuned generative AI models in 8B, 70B, and 405B sizes, is available through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to deploy for inference. Llama is a publicly accessible LLM designed for developers, researchers, and businesses to build, experiment, and responsibly scale their generative artificial intelligence (AI) ideas. In this post, we walk through how to discover and deploy Llama 3.1 models using SageMaker JumpStart.
