Amazon SageMaker AI Serverless Model Customization

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports training session APIs, allowing full control over post-training algorithms without managing GPU infrastructure. Managed techniques like SFT, DPO, and reinforcement learning methods are available, enabling custom training loops and operations like forward_backward(), optim_step(), and sample() as API calls. Billing is per token processed, excluding local computation like reward scoring.

What to do

  • Install the SageMaker Python SDK
  • Clone the SageMaker training sessions cookbook
  • Launch a notebook in SageMaker Studio and connect a coding agent
