Minimize idle accelerators: Native RL job interleaving with co-operative time-slicing in llm-d

The math behind reinforcement learning (RL) post-training for large language models (LLMs) is notoriously unforgiving. As frontier AI labs push the boundaries of reasoning and coding models using RL post-training algorithms like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), they routinely hit hard architectural and infrastructure constraints. While much of the industry’s focus remains on acquiring raw

Building multi-Region resiliency for AWS CloudFormation custom resource deployment

AWS CloudFormation is the foundational tool of infrastructure-as-code for thousands of organizations running workloads on AWS. But as teams push the boundaries of what CloudFormation can do natively, custom resources have emerged as a powerful extension mechanism that unlocks a broad range of possibilities. Yet, when it comes to building resilient, multi-Region deployments with custom
