At its re:Invent conference today, Amazon’s AWS cloud arm announced the launch of SageMaker HyperPod, a new purpose-built service for training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). SageMaker HyperPod is now generally available.

Amazon has long bet on SageMaker, its service for building, training and deploying machine learning models, as the backbone of its machine learning strategy. Now, with the advent of generative AI, it’s maybe no surprise that it is also leaning on SageMaker as the core product to make it easier for its users to train and fine-tune LLMs.
