Run MiniMax models on Amazon Bedrock

by

Organizations are increasingly adopting open-weight foundation models (FMs) to power production AI workloads, from agentic coding assistants to long-context document analysis. As these workloads move from experimentation to enterprise deployment, two requirements shape every model selection decision: the model must deliver the capabilities the workload demands, and the inference environment must support the organization’s security … Read more

Deploying Multi-Turn RL Infrastructure for Amazon Nova on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

by

When you build enterprise agents that execute multi-step workflows, you face a fundamental training challenge. These agents query databases, call APIs, cross-reference results, and recover from mid-process failures. The quality of any single action depends on what happens several steps later. Standard reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) optimizes single responses in isolation. This approach … Read more

Teams benchmarking generative AI models often evaluate dozens of GPU instance types, serving containers, parallelism strategies, and optimization techniques such as speculative decoding before deploying to production. Practitioners can spend weeks navigating configuration decisions and manually piecing together what they tried, what worked, and why. That complexity is exactly why we introduced optimized generative AI … Read more

Rather than competing to issue stablecoins, major asset managers are positioning themselves to manage the reserves backing them. The article argues that the GENIUS Act created an entirely new asset management category, prompting firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, State Street, Goldman Sachs, BNY, and Invesco to launch or file stablecoin reserve funds that could become foundational … Read more
