Really enjoyed Matt’s keynote at #AWSreInvent today. So much innovation happening in @awscloud, and you could see it with the array of launches he unveiled. So many parts of the keynote worth watching, but will point to a few: 1/ Excited about the availability of Trainium3. Trainium2 has substantial traction, is a multi-billion-dollar revenue run rate business, has 1M+ chips in production, and 100K+ companies using it as the majority of Bedrock usage today. Trainium2 has price-performance advantages over other GPU options that are compelling, and Trainium3 will deliver at least 4.4x more compute performance, 4x greater energy efficiency, and almost 4x more memory bandwidth than Trainium2: youtu.be/q3Sb9PemsSo?si=0rVn… 2/ Worth double clicking on AgentCore, which has changed the security and scalability of deploying agents into production. AgentCore is a set of flexible building blocks that can be used in any combination developers want, and AWS added two more in Policy and Evaluations. AgentCore has a lot of momentum: youtu.be/q3Sb9PemsSo?si=0Qj1… 3/ Nova Forge is a game-changer for companies wanting to customize a frontier model with their own proprietary data. Like equipping a young person with a better knowledge foundation to keep learning, LLMs are better able to solve problems and improve if they’re trained early on with companies’ differentiated data. To do so, companies need earlier versions of the frontier model and ability to mix their own data with the model’s data. This is what Forge provides and this “open training” allows companies to develop Novellas that are their own, optimized versions of Nova they can use for their AI apps and agents. Customers have been itching for this sort of capability, and Forge is a uniquely compelling approach: youtu.be/q3Sb9PemsSo?si=S0CJ… 4/ Agents will become the primary way companies get value from AI. We have built some compelling agents for our customers in Kiro (for coding), Quick (for knowledge workers to leverage their own data, analytics, and routines), Transform (to migrate from one software source to another), and Connect (call center agents). But there are tasks customers want agents to solve more autonomously and over longer durations, and new AWS frontier agents—Kiro autonomous agent, AWS DevOps Agent, and AWS Security Agent—are exciting: youtu.be/q3Sb9PemsSo?si=R95D… 5/ Finally, I enjoyed Matt’s ending 25 launches in 10 mins, both because it was action-packed and represented so much useful delivery. The reason so many people cheered these launches is because even though they’re less sexy, they’re the meat and potatoes core infrastructure needs customers have—and with so much of the total cloud infrastructure running on top of AWS, these launches will make a lot of people’s lives easier and better every day: youtu.be/q3Sb9PemsSo?si=Gusf… Enjoy (and just day 1 of announcements today for AWS :-)!
