The ChatGPT desktop app, a desktop application of OpenAI's advanced models, is now accessible on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US) through two components: Work for larger tasks and Codex for technical work. The app is ideal for organizations with specific security requirements, routing model requests to Amazon Bedrock Mantle in us-gov-west-1 via AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and ex...
MoEngage, a customer engagement platform used by over 1,350 consumer brands, faced a challenge when building AI agents that required access to internal APIs. These APIs, numbering around 400, already existed but needed to be safely accessible to agents without being exposed to the public internet, controlling identity, and without overwhelming context windows with hundreds of tool definitions. ...
A team has developed a novel approach to testing software called Just-in-Time Tests (JiTTests), which uses large language models to catch bugs on the fly. This method, which was previously shared as research, has now been successfully implemented at Meta, where it helps identify risks earlier and delivers reliable experiences at scale. JiTTests generate executable tests that demonstrate behavio...
A data scientist shares their experience of implementing kernel support vector regression (SVR) from scratch using Python, opting for stochastic gradient descent (SGD) instead of the commonly used SMO algorithm. They note the complexity of SMO and caution about incorrect information on SVR and SMO. The demo involves synthetic data, and the SGD-trained SVR model is shown to yield comparable resu...
This post describes a method for migrating a mature PHP application to Java using an AI integrated development environment called Kiro. With Kiro, you can make PHP-to-Java migration a measurable and repeatable process. Kiro's approach centers on an engine with a shared methodology, mechanical discovery scanner, and an eight-phase workflow. The engine uses a parity harness to verify the accuracy...
AWS Batch now supports Amazon SageMaker Training jobs, enabling customers to manage and scale machine learning training workloads without building infrastructure. With the introduction of quota management in AWS Batch, administrators can divide and share GPU resources among teams or projects, maximizing utilization and prioritizing workloads. Quota shares include capacity limits and resource-sh...
In the context of expanding quality assurance (QA) automation adoption within an organization, new challenges emerge as teams attempt to manage and organize an increasing number of tests for various applications. The author explores a solution called QA Studio, which facilitates defining tests in natural language and running them through AI-powered visual navigation. In this post, the focus shi...
The article discusses the challenge of scaling PyTorch training on a cluster, which is primarily caused by the complexity of building and maintaining the required containers. This involves ensuring that every container has the same CUDA runtime, PyTorch build, NCCL, EFA libraries, and AWS OFI NCCL plugin. To address this issue, AWS introduced the Ray Train Deep Learning Container (DLC), which i...
NVIDIA's RTX Spark powers new thin and light laptops from major manufacturers, including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI. These systems are equipped with an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU and Grace CPU in a single superchip, offering up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance. RTX Spark includes features like NVIDIA's CUDA platform, RTX graphics, and personal ...
Infrastructure has continually evolved in tandem with technological advancements throughout history. From the construction of dams, bridges, and canals during the 18th century to the development of railways, sewage systems, and megacities' infrastructure in the 20th century, each technological shift brought about new types and scales of infrastructure. Today, the definition of infrastructure ex...
Amazon SageMaker's new SOCI (Seekable OCI) indexing for AI Training and Processing jobs allows for lazy loading of container images, reducing image download time from minutes to seconds. SOCI indexing is an open-source technology that maps every file inside an image and stores it in Amazon ECR as a separate artifact. SageMaker checks for the index automatically and behaves accordingly, either l...
In this post, we share the story of Property Finder, a digital real estate application, where 96.8% of their evaluation labels were found to be inherited from a single model's predictions rather than verified by human experts, leading to systemic bias and inaccurate comparisons of alternative models. Property Finder, which processes thousands of property images daily across the Middle East and ...
Meta's Privacy Aware Infrastructure (PAI) introduces PrivacyLib, a common library used for enforcing and monitoring data flows in the final stage of PAI workflow. Previously, new privacy requirements meant integrating privacy enforcement separately into each data and processing system, leading to a lengthy process. PrivacyLib allows system integration once, with new privacy capabilities as modu...
MIT Professor Paris Smaragdis, a musician and computer scientist, is on a mission to enhance machine hearing. He aims to develop machines with superior hearing capabilities, enabling them to locate sounds such as traffic accidents or industrial drill malfunctions. Smaragdis, a Greek native, discovered his fascination with sound and technology at a young age through classical guitar and synthesi...
