How Amazon Search increased ML training twofold using AWS Batch for Amazon SageMaker Training jobs

In this post, we show you how Amazon Search optimized GPU instance utilization by leveraging AWS Batch for SageMaker Training jobs. This managed solution enabled us to orchestrate machine learning (ML) training workloads on GPU-accelerated instance families like P5, P4, and others. We will also provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the use case implementation. Machine …

Build software sustainably in the AI era

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world – accelerating discovery, optimising systems, and unlocking new possibilities across every sector. But with its vast potential comes a shared responsibility. AI can be a powerful ally for transforming businesses and reducing cost. It can help organizations minimize carbon emissions, industries manage energy use, and scientists model complex climate …

Adapting Self-Supervised Representations as a Latent Space for Efficient Generation

We introduce Representation Tokenizer (RepTok), a generative modeling framework that represents an image using a single continuous latent token obtained from self-supervised vision transformers. Building on a pre-trained SSL encoder, we fine-tune only the semantic token embedding and pair it with a generative decoder trained jointly using a standard flow matching objective. This adaptation enriches …

Policy Maps: Tools for Guiding the Unbounded Space of LLM Behaviors

AI policy sets boundaries on acceptable behavior for AI models, but this is challenging in the context of large language models (LLMs): how do you ensure coverage over a vast behavior space? We introduce policy maps, an approach to AI policy design inspired by the practice of physical mapmaking. Instead of aiming for full coverage, …
