Last year, AWS announced an integration between Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and Amazon S3 general purpose buckets. This integration makes it straightforward for teams to use unstructured data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for machine learning (ML) and data analytics use cases. In this post, we show how to integrate S3 general purpose buckets with Amazon SageMaker Catalog to fine-tune Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct for visual question answering (VQA) using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio.

Today, we’re excited to announce the new Bidirectional Streaming API for Amazon Polly, enabling streamlined real-time text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis where you can start sending text and receiving audio simultaneously. This new API is built for conversational AI applications that generate text or audio incrementally, like responses from large language models (LLMs), where users must begin synthesizing audio before the full text is available.

In this post, we explore how the multimodal foundation models (FMs) of Amazon Bedrock enable scalable video understanding through three distinct architectural approaches. Each approach is designed for different use cases and cost-performance trade-offs.

In this post, we walk through how to search for available p-family GPU capacity, create a training plan reservation for inference, and deploy a SageMaker AI inference endpoint on that reserved capacity. We follow a data scientist’s journey as they reserve capacity for model evaluation and manage the endpoint throughout the reservation lifecycle.

In this post, we demonstrate how to build a Slack integration using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). You will learn how to deploy the infrastructure with three specialized AWS Lambda functions, configure event subscriptions properly to handle Slack’s security requirements, and implement conversation management patterns that work for many agent use cases.

SageMaker AI endpoints now support enhanced metrics with configurable publishing frequency. This launch provides the granular visibility needed to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve your production endpoints.

In this post, we will show you how to enforce data residency when deploying Amazon Quick Microsoft Teams extensions across multiple AWS Regions. You will learn how to configure multi-Region Amazon Quick extensions that automatically route users to AWS Region-appropriate resources, helping keep compliance with GDPR and other data sovereignty requirements.

In this post, we walk you through the process of using the Nova Forge SDK to train an Amazon Nova model using Amazon SageMaker AI Training Jobs.

This post shows you how to build an AI-powered A/B testing engine using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Elastic Container Service, Amazon DynamoDB, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The system improves traditional A/B testing by analyzing user context  to make smarter variant assignment decisions during the experiment.

In this post, you will learn how to migrate from Nova 1 to Nova 2 on Amazon Bedrock. We cover model mapping, API changes, code examples using the Converse API, guidance on configuring new capabilities, and a summary of use cases. We conclude with a migration checklist to help you plan and execute your transition.
