Checkpointless training on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod: Production-scale training with faster fault recoveryArtificial Intelligence In this post, we introduce checkpointless training on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, a paradigm shift in model training that reduces the need for traditional checkpointing by enabling peer-to-peer state recovery. Results from production-scale validation show 80–93% reduction in recovery time (from 15–30 minutes or more to under 2 minutes) and enables up to 95% training goodput on cluster sizes with thousands of AI accelerators.

The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 15: SVM in ExcelTowards Data Science Instead of starting with margins and geometry, this article builds the Support Vector Machine step by step from familiar models. By changing the loss function and reusing regularization, SVM appears naturally as a linear classifier trained by optimization. This perspective unifies logistic regression, SVM, and other linear models into a single, coherent framework.

Adaptive infrastructure for foundation model training with elastic training on SageMaker HyperPodArtificial Intelligence Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports elastic training, enabling your machine learning (ML) workloads to automatically scale based on resource availability. In this post, we demonstrate how elastic training helps you maximize GPU utilization, reduce costs, and accelerate model development through dynamic resource adaptation, while maintain training quality and minimizing manual intervention.
