How AWS delivers generative AI to the public sector in weeks, not years

When critical services depend on quick action, from the safety of vulnerable children to environmental protection, you need working AI solutions in weeks, not years. Amazon recently announced an investment of up to $50 billion in expanded AI and supercomputing infrastructure for US government agencies, demonstrating both the urgency and commitment from Amazon Web Services …

SO-Bench: A Structural Output Evaluation of Multimodal LLMs

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world, agentic settings where outputs must not only be correct, but also conform to predefined data schemas. Despite recent progress in structured generation in textual domain, there is still no benchmark that systematically evaluates schema-grounded information extraction and reasoning over visual inputs. In this work, we …

Accelerate model downloads on GKE with NVIDIA Run:ai Model Streamer

As large language models (LLMs) continue to grow in size and complexity, the time it takes to load them from storage to accelerator memory for inference can become a significant bottleneck. This “cold start” problem isn’t just a minor delay — it’s a critical barrier to building resilient, scalable, and cost-effective AI services. Every minute …

Semantic Regexes: Auto-Interpreting LLM Features with a Structured Language

Automated interpretability aims to translate large language model (LLM) features into human understandable descriptions. However, these natural language feature descriptions are often vague, inconsistent, and require manual relabeling. In response, we introduce semantic regexes, structured language descriptions of LLM features. By combining primitives that capture linguistic and semantic feature patterns with modifiers for contextualization, composition, …

Hybrid Modeling of Photoplethysmography for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Cardiovascular Parameters

Continuous cardiovascular monitoring can play a key role in precision health. However, some fundamental cardiac biomarkers of interest, including stroke volume and cardiac output, require invasive measurements, e.g., arterial pressure waveforms (APW). As a non-invasive alternative, photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements are routinely collected in hospital settings. Unfortunately, the prediction of key cardiac biomarkers from PPG instead …
