Amazon SageMaker AI now supports serverless model customization for the NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT). This is one of the latest open-weight models from NVIDIA and employs a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 3B active parameters and 30B parameters in total. In addition to deploying this model on SageMaker AI, you can now adapt it to your specific domains and workflows. Model customization enables you to tailor foundation models with your proprietary data so a smaller, right-sized model can match frontier-model quality on your tasks, reducing cost and latency. You can use labeled data with SFT to improve accuracy on domain-specific tasks, preference data with DPO to align outputs with your organization's tone, or reward signals with RFT to enhance performance on new tasks. With serverless customization, SageMaker AI handles all infrastructure provisioning a...

AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations for Salesforce now capture archived records in your target tables, giving you a complete replica of your Salesforce data for analytics and reporting. Archived records are identified and reflected accurately through the isArchived field, so your analytical data stays fully in sync with your Salesforce source. This is especially valuable for high-volume entities that Salesforce archives automatically, such as Events, Tasks, and Activities, giving you complete visibility into this data in your analytical data stores. This feature applies to your zero-ETL integrations with no action required. New integrations capture archived records automatically from the moment the integration is created. For existing integrations, AWS Glue automatically backfills archived record status, with no re-sync, reconfiguration, or schema change needed. Your existing pipelines continue running uninterrupted while the isArchived field is populated accurately on your behalf. This...

Today, AWS Billing and Cost Management (BCM) announces support for the Detected Anomalies widget in BCM Dashboards. You can now review cost anomalies alongside cost and usage, budgets, cost efficiency, and reports for Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage and utilization. This provides a unified view of your spending, commitments, and cost anomalies in a single, tailored dashboard. The Detected Anomalies widget displays the number of anomalies detected and their total cost impact relative to your month-to-date spend, giving you immediate context on each anomaly's scale. For each anomaly, you can review the cost impact, root cause, and duration. Choose a look-back period of 30, 60, or 90 days, and filter by severity, service, account, and region so that each dashboard shows the anomalies most relevant to that account. By adding one or more Detected Anomalies widget to a BCM Dashboard, finance teams and cloud administrators can monitor anomalies from their existing cost mana...

Before television shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation cemented the mockumentary in the minds of millions, there was Christopher Guest. He didn't invent the genre, but he's widely recognized as one of its most influential practitioners, and for my money, there's none better. I've watched Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show more times than I can count. But the one that has stuck with me the most, the one I quote at the slightest provocation, is This Is Spinal Tap . If you've seen it you already know where this is going (and if you haven't, you now have weekend plans). The film is a fictional documentary about an aging English rock band named Spinal Tap, whose members are everything we picture when we picture over-the-top rock stars. In one of its more memorable scenes, the guitarist (Nigel) gives the filmmaker (Marty) a tour of his most prized gear, in particular showing off an amplifier unlike any other: its dials don't stop at ten. That lead...
