This post demonstrates a comprehensive observability solution using Amazon Managed Grafana dashboards that provides a holistic view of both quality and quantity for LLMs served on Amazon SageMaker AI endpoints with inference components.

Azercell Telecom LLC, Azerbaijan’s leading telecommunications provider, wanted to build an Azerbaijani large language model (LLM) on Amazon SageMaker AI for telecom use cases and a customer-facing chatbot. The challenge: adapting foundation models (FMs) to a morphologically rich language with limited training data and no existing blueprint for efficient LLM training in Azerbaijani. In a six-week collaboration, Azercell worked with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center to establish a production-ready framework on Amazon SageMaker AI.

Today, Amazon SageMaker AI introduces OpenAI-compatible API support for real-time inference endpoints. If you use the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, or Strands Agents, you can now invoke models on SageMaker AI by changing only your endpoint URL. You don’t need a custom client, a SigV4 wrapper, or code rewrites. Overview With this launch, SageMaker AI endpoints […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to build a secure, complete LLM fine-tuning workflow that integrates Unity Catalog with Amazon SageMaker AI using Amazon EMR Serverless for preprocessing. The solution shows how to securely access governed data, maintain lineage across services, fine-tune the Ministral-3-3B-Instruct model, and register trained artifacts back into Unity Catalog. With this approach, you can continue using your existing services while preserving central governance, tracking data lineage without compromising security or compliance requirements.

In this post, we show you how to set up FLOPs tracking during LLM fine-tuning using the open source Fine-Tuning FLOPs Meter toolkit on Amazon SageMaker AI. You learn how to determine your compliance status with a single configuration flag and generate audit-ready documentation.

In this post, you will learn how to secure reserved GPU capacity for short-term workloads using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Capacity Blocks for ML and Amazon SageMaker training plans. These solutions can address GPU availability challenges when you need short-term capacity for load testing, model validation, time-bound workshops, or preparing inference capacity ahead of a release.

In this post, you will learn how to implement reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) to introduce verification and transparency into reward signals to improve training performance. This approach works best when outputs can be objectively verified for correctness, such as in mathematical reasoning, code generation, or symbolic manipulation tasks. You will also learn how to layer techniques like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) and few-shot examples to further improve results. You’ll use the GSM8K dataset (Grade School Math 8K: a collection of grade school math problems) to improve math problem solving accuracy, but the techniques used here can be adapted to a wide variety of other use cases.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Amazon SageMaker AI MLflow Apps now support MLflow version 3.10, bringing enhanced capabilities for generative AI development and streamlined experiment tracking to your generative AI workflows. Building on the foundations established with Amazon SageMaker AI MLflow Apps, this latest version introduces powerful new features for observability, evaluation, and generative […]

Amazon SageMaker AI now offers an agentic experience that changes this. Developers describe their use case using natural language, and the AI coding agent streamlines the entire journey, from use case definition and data preparation through technique selection, evaluation, and deployment. In this post, we walk you through the model customization lifecycle using SageMaker AI agent skills.

Today, Amazon SageMaker AI introduces capacity aware instance pool for new and existing inference endpoints. You define a prioritized list of instance types, and SageMaker AI automatically works through your list whenever capacity is constrained at creation, during scale-out, and during scale-in. Your endpoint provisions on available AI Infrastructure without manual intervention. This capability is available for Single Model Endpoints, Inference Component-based endpoints, and Asynchronous Inference endpoints.
