Almost immediately, Huang dismissed the coveted milestone as “senseless.” He’s right. For the supposed finish line of the AI race, there is no consensus … Read more

Deepgram deepens Amazon SageMaker AI observability with Enhanced Metrics

Self-hosted speech AI has historically carried an observability trade-off. The service can tell you an endpoint is up and how many requests it served. The questions that actually drive capacity planning and cost management stay locked inside the vendor’s container: what you are billed for, which features your traffic uses, and what the inference engine … Read more

Reduce ASR inference costs by 75% with NVIDIA MPS on Amazon EC2

This post is a collaboration between AWS, NVIDIA and Heidi. Reducing automatic speech recognition (ASR) inference costs on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) becomes critical when GPU utilization per request is low but latency requirements are strict. A single ASR inference request typically uses only 15–20 percent of a GPU’s compute capacity, yet the default … Read more
