Introducing SOCI indexing for Amazon SageMaker Studio: Faster container startup times for AI/ML workloads

Today, we are excited to introduce a new feature for SageMaker Studio: SOCI (Seekable Open Container Initiative) indexing. SOCI supports lazy loading of container images, where only the necessary parts of an image are downloaded initially rather than the entire container. SageMaker Studio serves as a web Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for end-to-end machine learning (ML) development, […]

Guided learning lets “untrainable” neural networks realize their potential

Even networks long considered “untrainable” can learn effectively with a bit of a helping hand. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have shown that a brief period of alignment between neural networks, a method they call guidance, can dramatically improve the performance of architectures previously thought unsuitable for modern tasks. Their

Build and deploy scalable AI agents with NVIDIA NeMo, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands Agents

This post is co-written with Ranjit Rajan, Abdullahi Olaoye, and Abhishek Sawarkar from NVIDIA. AI’s next frontier isn’t merely smarter chat-based assistants, it’s autonomous agents that reason, plan, and execute across entire systems. But to accomplish this, enterprise developers need to move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that scale securely. This challenge grows as

Bi-directional streaming for real-time agent interactions now available in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime

Building natural voice conversations with AI agents requires complex infrastructure and lots of code from engineering teams. Text-based agent interactions follow a turn-based pattern: a user sends a complete request, waits for the agent to process it, and receives a full response before continuing. Bi-directional streaming removes this constraint by establishing a persistent connection that
