Machine Learning on AWS
Putting machine learning in the hands of every developer
AWS has the broadest and deepest set of machine learning and AI services for your business.
On behalf of our customers, we are focused on solving some of the toughest challenges that hold back machine learning from being in the hands of every developer.
You can choose from pre-trained AI services for computer vision, language, recommendations, and forecasting; Amazon SageMaker to quickly build, train and deploy machine learning models at scale; or build custom models with support for all the popular open-source frameworks.
Our capabilities are built on the most comprehensive cloud platform, optimized for machine learning with high-performance compute, and no compromises on security and analytics.
"AWS is our ML platform of choice, unlocking new ways to deliver on our promise of being the world’s travel platform."
