Last week, Technology Innovation Institute (TII) launched TII Falcon LLM, an open-source foundational large language model (LLM). Trained on 1 trillion tokens with Amazon SageMaker, Falcon boasts top-notch performance (#1 on the Hugging Face leaderboard at time of writing) while being comparatively lightweight and less expensive to host than other LLMs such as llama-65B. In […]

Open-source large language models (LLMs) have become popular, allowing researchers, developers, and organizations to access these models to foster innovation and experimentation. This encourages collaboration from the open-source community to contribute to developments and improvement of LLMs. Open-source LLMs provide transparency to the model architecture, training process, and training data, which allows researchers to understand […]

GPT-J is an open-source 6-billion-parameter model released by Eleuther AI. The model is trained on the Pile and can perform various tasks in language processing. It can support a wide variety of use cases, including text classification, token classification, text generation, question and answering, entity extraction, summarization, sentiment analysis, and many more. GPT-J is a […]

ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) is an open-source standard for representing deep learning models widely supported by many providers. ONNX provides tools for optimizing and quantizing models to reduce the memory and compute needed to run machine learning (ML) models. One of the biggest benefits of ONNX is that it provides a standardized format for […]

We are excited to announce the open-source release of GraphStorm 0.1, a low-code enterprise graph machine learning (ML) framework to build, train, and deploy graph ML solutions on complex enterprise-scale graphs in days instead of months. With GraphStorm, you can build solutions that directly take into account the structure of relationships or interactions between billions […]

Data scientists need a consistent and reproducible environment for machine learning (ML) and data science workloads that enables managing dependencies and is secure. AWS Deep Learning Containers already provides pre-built Docker images for training and serving models in common frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet. To improve this experience, we announced a public beta […]

Customers expect quick and efficient service from businesses in today’s fast-paced world. But providing excellent customer service can be significantly challenging when the volume of inquiries outpaces the human resources employed to address them. However, businesses can meet this challenge while providing personalized and efficient customer service with the advancements in generative artificial intelligence (generative […]

Amazon Personalize now enables popularity tuning for its Similar-Items recipe (aws-similar-items). Similar-Items generates recommendations that are similar to the item that a user selects, helping users discover new items in your catalog based on the previous behavior of all users and item metadata. Previously, this capability was only available for SIMS, the other Related_Items recipe […]

Training large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters can be challenging. In addition to designing the model architecture, researchers need to set up state-of-the-art training techniques for distributed training like mixed precision support, gradient accumulation, and checkpointing. With large models, the training setup is even more challenging because the available memory in a single […]

You can now retrain machine learning (ML) models and automate batch prediction workflows with updated datasets in Amazon SageMaker Canvas, thereby making it easier to constantly learn and improve the model performance and drive efficiency. An ML model’s effectiveness depends on the quality and relevance of the data it’s trained on. As time progresses, the […]
