Artificial Intelligence

Today, I’m excited to share how we’re bringing this vision to life with new capabilities that address the fundamental aspects of building and deploying agents at scale. These innovations will help you move beyond experiments to production-ready agent systems that can be trusted with your most critical business processes.

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports EAGLE-based adaptive speculative decoding, a technique that accelerates large language model inference by up to 2.5x while maintaining output quality. In this post, we explain how to use EAGLE 2 and EAGLE 3 speculative decoding in Amazon SageMaker AI, covering the solution architecture, optimization workflows using your own datasets or SageMaker’s built-in data, and benchmark results demonstrating significant improvements in throughput and latency.

In this post, we demonstrate how to migrate computer vision workloads from Amazon Lookout for Vision to Amazon SageMaker AI by training custom defect detection models using pre-trained models available on AWS Marketplace. We provide step-by-step guidance on labeling datasets with SageMaker Ground Truth, training models with flexible hyperparameter configurations, and deploying them for real-time or batch inference—giving you greater control and flexibility for automated quality inspection use cases.

The AWS Customer Success Center of Excellence (CS COE) helps customers get tangible value from their AWS investments. We’ve seen a pattern: customers who build AI strategies that address people, process, and technology together succeed more often. In this post, we share practical considerations that can help close the AI value gap.

We’re introducing bidirectional streaming for Amazon SageMaker AI Inference, which transforms inference from a transactional exchange into a continuous conversation. This post shows you how to build and deploy a container with bidirectional streaming capability to a SageMaker AI endpoint. We also demonstrate how you can bring your own container or use our partner Deepgram’s pre-built models and containers on SageMaker AI to enable bi-directional streaming feature for real-time inference.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is a leading global media and entertainment company that creates and distributes the world’s most differentiated and complete portfolio of content and brands across television, film and streaming. In this post, we describe the scale of our offerings, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) inference infrastructure requirements for our real time recommender systems, and how we used AWS Graviton-based Amazon SageMaker AI instances for our ML inference workloads and achieved 60% cost savings and 7% to 60% latency improvements across different models.

In this post, we explore the complete development lifecycle of physical AI—from data collection and model training to edge deployment—and examine how these intelligent systems learn to understand, reason, and interact with the physical world through continuous feedback loops. We illustrate this workflow through Diligent Robotics’ Moxi, a mobile manipulation robot that has completed over 1.2 million deliveries in hospitals, saving nearly 600,000 hours for clinical staff while transforming healthcare logistics and returning valuable time to patient care.

In this post, we explore how Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, enabling you to partition powerful GPUs into multiple isolated instances for running concurrent workloads like inference, research, and interactive development. By maximizing GPU utilization and reducing wasted resources, MIG helps organizations optimize costs while maintaining performance isolation and predictable quality of service across diverse machine learning tasks.

We are excited to announce that customers in Canada can now access advanced foundation models including Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5 on Amazon Bedrock through cross-Region inference (CRIS). This post explores how Canadian organizations can use cross-Region inference profiles from the Canada (Central) Region to access the latest foundation models to accelerate AI initiatives. We will demonstrate how to get started with these new capabilities, provide guidance for migrating from older models, and share recommended practices for quota management.

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) orchestration now support creating and managing interactive development environments such as JupyterLab and open source Visual Studio Code, streamlining the ML development lifecycle by providing managed environments for familiar tools to data scientists. This post shows how HyperPod administrators can configure Spaces for their clusters, and how data scientists can create and connect to these Spaces.

Anthropic’s newest foundation model, Claude Opus 4.5, is now available in Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies. In this post, I’ll show you what makes this model different, walk through key business applications, and demonstrate how to use Opus 4.5’s new tool use capabilities on Amazon Bedrock.
