Custom reward functions for multi-turn reinforcement learning with Amazon Nova Forge

In multi-turn reinforcement learning, your custom reward function decides what the model actually learns. This post shows how to design a composite multi-turn reward for Amazon Nova Forge, execute model-generated code safely inside it, and instrument each component to catch the pitfalls that quietly collapse a reward.

Tiered KV cache for large LLMs on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod with Curvine

Tiered KV cache for large LLMs on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod with Curvine

Running large language model inference at scale forces a KV cache trade-off: oversized GPU instances or slow time-to-first-token. This post builds a tiered KV cache on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod that extends the cache into a shared, distributed NVMe pool with Curvine, so replicas reuse cache at near-local-disk speeds on cost-efficient instances.

Enhancing enterprise inference on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod with data capture, Hugging Face, NVMe, and Route 53 integration

In this post, we walk through five capabilities now available in SageMaker HyperPod inference: multi-tier data capture for auditing and model improvement, direct deployment from Hugging Face Hub, local NVMe model loading for faster cold starts, automated Route 53 DNS for custom domains, and pod-level IAM through custom service accounts.

Best practices to run inference on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

This post explores how Amazon SageMaker HyperPod provides a comprehensive solution for inference workloads. We walk you through the platform’s key capabilities for dynamic scaling, simplified deployment, and intelligent resource management. By the end of this post, you’ll understand how to use the HyperPod automated infrastructure, cost optimization features, and performance enhancements to reduce your total cost of ownership by up to 40% while accelerating your generative AI deployments from concept to production.

Scaling seismic foundation models on AWS: Distributed training with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and expanding context windows

This post describes how TGS achieved near-linear scaling for distributed training and expanded context windows for their Vision Transformer-based SFM using Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. This joint solution cut training time from 6 months to just 5 days while enabling analysis of seismic volumes larger than previously possible.

Introducing Disaggregated Inference on AWS powered by llm-d

In this blog post, we introduce the concepts behind next-generation inference capabilities, including disaggregated serving, intelligent request scheduling, and expert parallelism. We discuss their benefits and walk through how you can implement them on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS to achieve significant improvements in inference performance, resource utilization, and operational efficiency.

Accelerating AI model production at Hexagon with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

In this blog post, we demonstrate how Hexagon collaborated with Amazon Web Services to scale their AI model production by pretraining state-of-the-art segmentation models, using the model training infrastructure of Amazon SageMaker HyperPod.

Scale LLM fine-tuning with Hugging Face and Amazon SageMaker AI

In this post, we show how this integrated approach transforms enterprise LLM fine-tuning from a complex, resource-intensive challenge into a streamlined, scalable solution for achieving better model performance in domain-specific applications.

Manage Amazon SageMaker HyperPod clusters using the HyperPod CLI and SDK

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the CLI and the SDK to create and manage SageMaker HyperPod clusters in your AWS account. We walk through a practical example and dive deeper into the user workflow and parameter choices.
