Monitoring production agent lifecycle with AWS DevOps Agent and AgentCore Evaluations

Multi-agent systems in production experience issues in ways that traditional monitoring misses. For example, the agent can’t invoke its foundation model (FM) and returns an empty response. This could be because of a missing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permission on an agent’s execution role that doesn’t throw a 500 error. A supervisor agent … Read more

Beyond the price per token: Choosing the right OpenAI model on Amazon Bedrock for your workload

Organizations building generative AI applications usually compare models the same way: dollars per million tokens. It’s the number on every pricing page, so it becomes the number in every spreadsheet. But production workloads don’t buy tokens. They buy outcomes: a resolved support ticket, a completed research brief, a correct financial summary. Between the pricing page … Read more

Reduce inference cold starts on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod with model caching

When you deploy a large language model (LLM) for inference on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, there’s a gap between when you request a pod and when it’s ready to serve traffic. This gap is dominated by two sequential downloads: the inference server container image from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR), and the model weights from … Read more

Video and image search in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base using Marengo 3.0

Today we’re announcing the general availability of TwelveLabs Marengo Embed 3.0 as an embedding model in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. Video and media assets remain largely unsearchable by meaning.

Build an end-to-end RFI questionnaire workflow using Amazon Quick Automate

Build an end-to-end Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire workflow using Amazon Quick Automate to solve a challenge organizations face at every scale. A typical enterprise might handle hundreds of RFI questionnaires each year, and each arrives as a complex, multi-tab workbook packed with hierarchical question sets, category metadata, and varied response types. The volume, variety, … Read more

Model-agnostic PII detection with LLMs

A configurable, instruction-driven detector that runs on any large language model (LLM) managed on Amazon Bedrock, evaluated on five public PII corpora across nine LLM-based detectors, including the OpenAI PrivacyFilter. Fine-tuning a model on real-world text creates a personally identifiable information (PII) detection problem. Training corpora are full of PII: names, home addresses, email and … Read more

Agent Evaluation Metric for multi-turn conversations

Multi-turn agents fail in ways that single-turn evaluation misses: one early mistake quietly corrupts every later turn. This post introduces the Agent Evaluation Metric (AEM), a decomposable, turn-level way to measure agent quality. We apply it to its first dimension, correctness. We show how AEM pinpoints the one turn that caused a failure and separates … Read more

Simplify and support your TorchServe workloads using Ray Serve Deep Learning Containers

TorchServe is no longer actively maintained. The official project notice states there are no planned updates, bug fixes, new features, or security patches, and that vulnerabilities might not be addressed. For teams that run model inference on TorchServe today, this means security patches stop and compatibility updates with newer versions of PyTorch and CUDA stop. … Read more

Automate user-level custom permissions for Amazon Quick

As Amazon Quick environments scale and new AI-powered capabilities expand what users can do, automating user-level custom permissions becomes critical to maintaining the principle of least privilege. To address this, with custom permissions in Quick, you can enforce fine-grained access control by toggling specific features on or off for individual users. For example, with custom … Read more

Pathway’s brain-inspired architecture development on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

As AI systems take on more complex tasks, much of the industry’s progress has come from increasing model scale, training data, context length, and inference-time computation. Instead of externalizing reasoning work as a chain-of-thought (generating extra tokens sequentially and feeding them back into later steps), Pathway’s brain-inspired BDH (Dragon Hatchling) performs reasoning in latent space. … Read more

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store introduces UpdateRecord for feature-level writes

Govern models with MLflow and Amazon SageMaker AI Model Registry sync: Part 2

Governing models across accounts is the natural next step once automatic model registration is in place. In Part 1 we introduced how managed MLflow on Amazon SageMaker AI synchronizes registered models into the SageMaker AI Model Registry. We walked through a single-account setup where AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) condition keys separate the data … Read more

Govern models with MLflow and Amazon SageMaker AI Model Registry sync: Part 1

Automating model registration between MLflow and a model registry solves a gap that opens the moment a candidate model leaves experimentation. Data scientists track dozens of candidate runs in MLflow, while governance officers need one authoritative registry to validate, approve, and audit the models that reach production. Managed MLflow on Amazon SageMaker AI already synchronizes … Read more

Automated agent evaluation with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and GitHub Actions

Build a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) quality gate that deploys an agent with role-based MCP tools, evaluates it, and blocks PRs when evaluation scores drop. You shipped an AI agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime. It calls tools through an MCP server protected by OAuth. Now you want CI to tell you when … Read more

Benchmarking small LLM inference on SageMaker AI: G7 vs G5 and G6

Choosing the right GPU instance for large language model (LLM) inference is one of the most impactful decisions you make when deploying generative AI at scale. A single generation jump can slash latency, increase throughput, and reduce cost-per-token. However, the real-world magnitude of those gains depends on model architecture, quantization format, and workload shape. In … Read more

Deploy a multimodal WhatsApp ordering assistant with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This post shows how to deploy a multimodal WhatsApp ordering assistant built with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Amazon Nova 2. Many quick-service restaurants spread ordering across an app, a website, a phone line, and the counter. Each of those is a separate system to build and run. Each one also fragments the customer’s history, making … Read more

Designing lifecycle policies for AgentCore memory

Memory lifecycle policies help long-running agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore stay effective by systematically managing what they remember and forget. Your agent generates memories from every conversation it conducts. If you don’t actively manage these memories, your agents will accumulate outdated context, which can degrade response quality and create compliance risks for your deployment. After … Read more

Build a Physical AI model factory with NVIDIA Cosmos 3 on SageMaker HyperPod

A Physical AI system, such as a robot or autonomous vehicle (AV) that translates real-world data into physical actions, can’t be built in a single training job. Instead, it takes a continuous pipeline: a loop of generating synthetic data, post-training perception and policy models, so the system understands its surroundings and can act, and evaluating … Read more

Run agent-driven Amazon SageMaker HyperPod operations with InstantStart

If you run foundation model (FM) workloads on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, you know the work is rarely a single task. It is a chain of dependent ones. An infrastructure team creates the network and control plane, attaches accelerator capacity, and installs cluster dependencies in the right order. It also prepares storage and identity, keeps distributed … Read more

Customizing your knowledge base on Amazon Bedrock for large and complex documents using Amazon Textract

For customer service teams handling thousands of utility bills each month, accurately parsing and analyzing complex, multi-page documents is a persistent challenge.
