This post is co-written with Swagata Ashwani, Senior Data Scientist at Boomi. Boomi is an enterprise-level software as a service (SaaS) independent software vendor (ISV) that creates developer enablement tooling for software engineers. These tools integrate via API into Boomi’s core service offering. In this post, we discuss how Boomi used the bring-your-own-container (BYOC) approach …

Society is going cashless. While convenient for consumers, that’s caused a drastic decrease in income for tipped workers and this is the problem TackPay addresses. TackPay is a mobile platform that allows users to send, receive and manage tips in a completely digital way, providing tipped workers with a virtual tip jar that makes it …

After you build, train, and evaluate your machine learning (ML) model to ensure it’s solving the intended business problem proposed, you want to deploy that model to enable decision-making in business operations. Models that support business-critical functions are deployed to a production environment where a model release strategy is put in place. Given the nature …

In November 2022, we announced that AWS customers can generate images from text with Stable Diffusion models in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Stable Diffusion is a deep learning model that allows you to generate realistic, high-quality images and stunning art in just a few seconds. Although creating impressive images can find use in industries ranging from …

Posted by Parker Riley, Software Engineer, and Jan Botha, Research Scientist, Google Research Many languages spoken worldwide cover numerous regional varieties (sometimes called dialects), such as Brazilian and European Portuguese or Mainland and Taiwan Mandarin Chinese. Although such varieties are often mutually intelligible to their speakers, there are still important differences. For example, the Brazilian …

We’re clarifying how ChatGPT’s behavior is shaped and our plans for improving that behavior, allowing more user customization, and getting more public input into our decision-making in these areas. OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)[1] benefits all of humanity. We therefore think a lot about the behavior of AI systems we …

Modern model pre-training often calls for larger cluster deployment to reduce time and cost. At the server level, such training workloads demand faster compute and increased memory allocation. As models grow to hundreds of billions of parameters, they require a distributed training mechanism that spans multiple nodes (instances). In October 2022, we launched Amazon EC2 …
