Ray is an open source framework that makes it straightforward to create, deploy, and optimize distributed Python jobs. In this post, we demonstrate the steps involved in running Ray jobs on SageMaker HyperPod.

In this blog post, we explore how to integrate NeMo 2.0 with SageMaker HyperPod to enable efficient training of large language models (LLMs). We cover the setup process and provide a step-by-step guide to running a NeMo job on a SageMaker HyperPod cluster.

In this post, we show how SageMaker HyperPod, and its new features introduced at AWS re:Invent 2024, is designed to meet the demands of modern AI workloads, offering a persistent and optimized cluster tailored for distributed training and accelerated inference at cloud scale and attractive price-performance.

In this two-part series, we discuss how you can reduce the DeepSeek model customization complexity by using the pre-built fine-tuning workflows (also called “recipes”) for both DeepSeek-R1 model and its distilled variations, released as part of HAQM SageMaker HyperPod recipes. In this first post, we will build a solution architecture for fine-tuning DeepSeek-R1 distilled models and demonstrate the approach by providing a step-by-step example on customizing the DeepSeek-R1 Distill Qwen 7b model using recipes, achieving an average of 25% on all the Rouge scores, with a maximum of 49% on Rouge 2 score with both SageMaker HyperPod and SageMaker training jobs. The second part of the series will focus on fine-tuning the DeepSeek-R1 671b model itself.

In this post, we provide best practices to maximize the value of SageMaker HyperPod task governance and make the administration and data science experiences seamless. We also discuss common governance scenarios when administering and running generative AI development tasks.

In this blog post, we showcase how you can perform efficient supervised fine tuning for a Meta Llama 3 model using PEFT on AWS Trainium with SageMaker HyperPod. We use HuggingFace’s Optimum-Neuron software development kit (SDK) to apply LoRA to fine-tuning jobs, and use SageMaker HyperPod as the primary compute cluster to perform distributed training on Trainium. Using LoRA supervised fine-tuning for Meta Llama 3 models, you can further reduce your cost to fine tune models by up to 50% and reduce the training time by 70%.

Fastweb, one of Italy’s leading telecommunications operators, recognized the immense potential of AI technologies early on and began investing in this area in 2019. In this post, we explore how Fastweb used cutting-edge AI and ML services to embark on their LLM journey, overcoming challenges and unlocking new opportunities along the way.

In this post, we explore a solution for implementing load balancing across login nodes in Slurm-based HyperPod clusters. By distributing user activity evenly across all available nodes, this approach provides more consistent performance, better resource utilization, and a smoother experience for all users. We guide you through the setup process, providing practical steps to achieve effective load balancing in your HyperPod clusters.

In this post, we explore how HAQM SageMaker HyperPod training plans accelerate compute resource procurement for machine learning workloads. We guide you through a step-by-step implementation on how you can use the AWS CLI or the AWS Management Console to find, review, and create optimal training plans for your specific compute and timeline needs. We further guide you through using the training plan to submit SageMaker training jobs or create SageMaker HyperPod clusters.

In this post, we explore how organizations can cost-effectively customize and adapt FMs using AWS managed services such as HAQM SageMaker training jobs and HAQM SageMaker HyperPod. We discuss how these powerful tools enable organizations to optimize compute resources and reduce the complexity of model training and fine-tuning. We explore how you can make an informed decision about which HAQM SageMaker service is most applicable to your business needs and requirements.
