In this blog post, we provide an introduction to preparing your own dataset for LLM training. Whether your goal is to fine-tune a pre-trained model for a specific task or to continue pre-training for domain-specific applications, having a well-curated dataset is crucial for achieving optimal performance.

Fastweb, one of Italy’s leading telecommunications operators, recognized the immense potential of AI technologies early on and began investing in this area in 2019. In this post, we explore how Fastweb used cutting-edge AI and ML services to embark on their LLM journey, overcoming challenges and unlocking new opportunities along the way.

TUI Group is one of the world’s leading global tourism services, providing 21 million customers with an unmatched holiday experience in 180 regions. The TUI content teams are tasked with producing high-quality content for its websites, including product details, hotel information, and travel guides, often using descriptions written by hotel and third-party partners. In this post, we discuss how we used Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock to build a content generator that rewrites marketing content following specific brand and style guidelines.

Today, we are excited to announce that the Llama 3.3 70B from Meta is available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Llama 3.3 70B marks an exciting advancement in large language model (LLM) development, offering comparable performance to larger Llama versions with fewer computational resources. In this post, we explore how to deploy this model efficiently on Amazon SageMaker AI, using advanced SageMaker AI features for optimal performance and cost management.

Ensemble models are becoming popular within the ML communities. They generate more accurate predictions through combining the predictions of multiple models. Pipelines can quickly be used to create and end-to-end ML pipeline for ensemble models. This enables developers to build highly accurate models while maintaining efficiency, and reproducibility. In this post, we provide an example of an ensemble model that was trained and deployed using Pipelines.

In this post, we explore a solution for implementing load balancing across login nodes in Slurm-based HyperPod clusters. By distributing user activity evenly across all available nodes, this approach provides more consistent performance, better resource utilization, and a smoother experience for all users. We guide you through the setup process, providing practical steps to achieve effective load balancing in your HyperPod clusters.

In this post, we explore Clearwater Analytics’ foray into generative AI, how they’ve architected their solution with Amazon SageMaker, and dive deep into how Clearwater Analytics is using LLMs to take advantage of more than 18 years of experience within the investment management domain while optimizing model cost and performance.

In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the newly launched ModelTrainer class on the Amazon SageMaker Python SDK and its benefits, and showed you how to fine-tune a Meta Llama 3.1 8B model on a custom dataset. In this post, we look at the enhancements to the ModelBuilder class, which lets you seamlessly deploy a model from ModelTrainer to a SageMaker endpoint, and provides a single interface for multiple deployment configurations.

In this post, we focus on the ModelTrainer class for simplifying the training experience. The ModelTrainer class provides significant improvements over the current Estimator class, which are discussed in detail in this post. We show you how to use the ModelTrainer class to train your ML models, which includes executing distributed training using a custom script or container. In Part 2, we show you how to build a model and deploy to a SageMaker endpoint using the improved ModelBuilder class.

Today, we are excited to announce that Pixtral 12B (pixtral-12b-2409), a state-of-the-art vision language model (VLM) from Mistral AI that excels in both text-only and multimodal tasks, is available for customers through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. You can try this model with SageMaker JumpStart, a machine learning (ML) hub that provides access to algorithms and models that can be deployed with one click for running inference. In this post, we walk through how to discover, deploy, and use the Pixtral 12B model for a variety of real-world vision use cases.
