Accelerate multimodal RL training with SkyRL on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

Publisher preview

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training is becoming a standard step in building capable language model agents. Models learn to reason and act across sequences of steps by generating trajectories, receiving rewards, and updating their policy based on outcomes. Running this at scale, across multiple nodes with hundreds of GPU-hours of rollouts per training run, requires persistent cluster infrastructure. That infrastructure needs to sustain long jobs, recover from hardware failures without losing progress, and provide visibility into training dynamics as they unfold. Amazon SageMaker HyperPod provides this infrastructure for large-scale machine learning…

Meta is putting its muscle behind Muse as the AI app takes off

Publisher preview

Muse’s traction is surging, fueled by Meta’s promotion of the AI app at its annual Meta Connect developer conference this week and strong early reviews that praised its polished design and highly capable AI model under the hood. At the start of the week, Muse had surpassed 2.5 million downloads since its September 8 launch. Now the app has amassed more than 3.4 million downloads, according to the most recent estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. The install numbers are only current as of the firm’s Thursday estimates, which…

NarrateAI: production-ready LLM quality assurance on Amazon Bedrock

Publisher preview

Executives need to make data-driven decisions during live business reviews, where accuracy and speed matter. A conversational agentic AI assistant can meet this need by answering data questions instantly. But the stakes are high: a wrong number or a slow response in front of leadership carries immediate professional consequences, and a capable large language model (LLM) alone can’t guarantee either. In production, that gap shows up as hallucinated metrics, API throttling, validation latency, and subjective language. Closing it requires production-ready quality assurance built into every step, from data retrieval to…

Deploying real-time personalized speech with Qwen3-TTS on Amazon SageMaker AI

Publisher preview

With voice cloning, you can generate new speech in a target speaker’s voice from a short reference recording, without retraining a model. You can now deploy the publicly available Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base text-to-speech model from Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to a fully managed, real-time inference endpoint. Voice cloning reproduces the vocal identity of a specific speaker. Start with a short recording of the speaker and its transcript. Then supply the new text to synthesize. The model speaks that text in the reference speaker’s voice, without retraining. Media teams, educators, and application developers can…

Meta’s AI Tamagotchi bet is…working?

Publisher preview

When AI leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic started talking about “pacing the frontier,” maybe someone should have asked: what pace? Now it’s turned into model drop week for both companies as Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later. But the company that stole the spotlight was Meta, whose personal AI agent Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT’s early numbers and is headed for smart glasses and […]

Multi-Region training with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and Qumulo

Multi-Region training with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and Qumulo

Publisher preview

With Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and Qumulo, you can place training compute in one AWS Region and keep your dataset in another. Training large AI models requires massive GPU capacity, but your ideal compute resources and your training data don’t always reside in the same AWS Region. Accessing data across Regions adds network latency and transfer costs. Teams face a choice: either replicate petabytes of data across Regions, or absorb cross-Region latency on every read and accept slower training. This pairing can help tackle that trade-off, letting teams keep frontier models…

For months, OpenAI’s agent swarms have been attacking online databases to find obscure facts

Publisher preview

With little help from frontier labs, independent researchers are piecing together how AI agents coordinate in internet backwaters to access private data hosted on secure servers. Transluce, a nonprofit lab focused on AI oversight, released a report Wednesday that shows agents from OpenAI attempting to exfiltrate data from Data USA, the University of New Mexico digital library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The lab’s investigation raises questions about when OpenAI should have known its agents were attempting to penetrate secure systems on the open internet. Transluce…

Anthropic’s founders seek voting control ahead of IPO

Publisher preview

Anthropic’s founders want to stay in charge after the company goes public. According to The Information, the company is asking shareholders to approve a structure “in the coming days” that would give CEO Dario Amodei and his six co-founders special shares carrying a combined 50.1% of the vote on most corporate matters, as long as at least three of them keep a minimum stake. This isn’t a new idea; super-voting shares are how Mark Zuckerberg kept control of Meta, and how Evan Spiegel maintained his hold of Snap. The list…

Microsoft thinks its new Copilot ‘super app’ will be as influential as Office

Publisher preview

After teasing its new Copilot “super app” last month, Microsoft is officially unveiling it today. The redesigned Copilot app bundles three AI capabilities into a single interface of chat, coding, and agents. As part of the launch, Microsoft is also rebranding Scout, the AI personal assistant it unveiled at Build earlier this year, as Autopilot. This new Copilot app will have three tabs for Home, Code, and Autopilot, with Home combining Copilot Chat and Cowork together. It’s the default landing experience for Copilot users, and Microsoft is also planning to…

Trump admin using AI to deny medical care for seniors in disastrous experiment

Publisher preview

Vendors rolling out AI have an “incentive to deny as many claims as possible.” In January, the Trump administration rolled out a pilot program that uses artificial intelligence to authorize or deny certain types of care for patients with Medicare—a federal healthcare program for seniors that previously hasn’t required doctors to get any such pre-approval, called prior authorization. Not long after, media outlets began relaying the disastrous outcomes: technical difficulties, long delays in decisions and care, puzzling denials, frustrated doctors, and patients suffering in pain. Those reports were largely confirmed…
