Automate fine-tuning of Llama 3.x models with the new visual designer for Amazon SageMaker Pipelines | Amazon Web Services

You can now create an end-to-end workflow to train, fine tune, evaluate, register, and deploy generative AI models with the visual designer for Amazon SageMaker Pipelines. SageMaker Pipelines is a serverless workflow orchestration service purpose-built for foundation model operations (FMOps). It accelerates your generative AI journey from prototype to production because you don’t need to learn about specialized workflow frameworks to automate model development or notebook execution at scale. Data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers use pipelines for tasks such as continuous fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) and scheduled notebook job workflows. Pipelines can scale up to run…

Long Context Compression with Activation Beacon

Long Context Compression with Activation Beacon

How do we make LLMs handle long contexts without breaking the bank on computational costs? This is a pressing issue because tasks like document understanding and long-form text generation require processing more information than ever. The quadratic complexity of attention mechanisms in transformers means that, as we extend the context, the computation and memory requirements skyrocket. In this post, we will explore how "Activation Beacon," a new method for long context compression (trending on AImodels.fyi!), attempts to solve this problem. We’ll dig into what makes this approach effective, how it works, and the benefits it brings. And I’ll also highlight…

Generative AI foundation model training on Amazon SageMaker | Amazon Web Services

To stay competitive, businesses across industries use foundation models (FMs) to transform their applications. Although FMs offer impressive out-of-the-box capabilities, achieving a true competitive edge often requires deep model customization through pre-training or fine-tuning. However, these approaches demand advanced AI expertise, high performance compute, fast storage access and can be prohibitively expensive for many organizations. In this post, we explore how organizations can address these challenges and cost-effectively customize and adapt FMs using AWS managed services such as Amazon SageMaker training jobs and Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. We discuss how these powerful tools enable organizations to optimize compute resources and reduce the complexity…

Anthropic Wants Its AI Agent to Control Your Computer

Anthropic Wants Its AI Agent to Control Your Computer

Demos of AI agents can seem stunning but getting the technology to perform reliably and without annoying, or costly, errors in real life can be a challenge. Current models can answer questions and converse with almost human-like skill and are the backbone of chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. They can also perform tasks on computers when given a simple command by accessing the computer screen as well as input devices like a keyboard and trackpad or through low-level software interfaces.Anthropic says that Claude outperforms other AI agents on several key benchmarks including SWE-bench, which measures an agent's…
