Today we are excited to introduce the Text Ranking and Question and Answer UI templates to SageMaker AI customers. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through how to set up these templates in SageMaker to create high-quality datasets for training your large language models.

Starting July 14, 2025, the AWS DeepRacer Student Portal will enter a maintenance phase where new registrations will be disabled. Until September 15, 2025, existing users will retain full access to their content and training materials, with updates limited to critical security fixes, after which the portal will no longer be available.

You can now import custom weights for Qwen2, Qwen2_VL, and Qwen2_5_VL architectures, including models like Qwen 2, 2.5 Coder, Qwen 2.5 VL, and QwQ 32B. In this post, we cover how to deploy Qwen 2.5 models with Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import, making them accessible to organizations looking to use state-of-the-art AI capabilities within the AWS infrastructure at an effective cost.

The Llama 3.3 Nemotron Super 49B V1 and Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 8B V1 are now available in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. With this launch, you can now deploy NVIDIA’s newest reasoning models to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative AI ideas on AWS.

We are excited to announce the availability of Gemma 3 27B Instruct models through Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. In this post, we show you how to get started with Gemma 3 27B Instruct on both Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and SageMaker JumpStart, and how to use the model’s powerful instruction-following capabilities in your applications.

Amazon Bedrock Data Automation helps organizations streamline development and boost efficiency through customizable, multimodal analytics. It eliminates the heavy lifting of unstructured content processing at scale, whether for video or audio. The new capabilities make it faster to extract tailored, generative AI-powered insights like scene summaries, key topics, and customer intents from video and audio. This unlocks the value of unstructured content for use cases such as improving sales productivity and enhancing customer experience.

Whereas traditional forecasting methods typically rely on statistical modeling, Chronos treats time series data as a language to be modeled and uses a pre-trained FM to generate forecasts — similar to how large language models (LLMs) generate texts. Chronos helps you achieve accurate predictions faster, significantly reducing development time compared to traditional methods. In this post, we share how Deutsche Bahn is redefining forecasting using Chronos models, and provide an example use case to demonstrate how you can get started using Chronos.

Today, we’re happy to announce the general availability of Amazon Bedrock Intelligent Prompt Routing. In this blog post, we detail various highlights from our internal testing, how you can get started, and point out some caveats and best practices. We encourage you to incorporate Amazon Bedrock Intelligent Prompt Routing into your new and existing generative AI applications.

In this post, we demonstrate how to get started with the Pixtral Large model in Amazon Bedrock. The Pixtral Large multimodal model allows you to tackle a variety of use cases, such as document understanding, logical reasoning, handwriting recognition, image comparison, entity extraction, extracting structured data from scanned images, and caption generation.

Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of Llama 4 Scout and Maverick models in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. In this blog post, we walk you through how to deploy and prompt a Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct model using SageMaker JumpStart.
