Reasoning models can generate seven to 10 times as many tokens as necessary on simple tasks, creating unsustainable costs at scale. Amazon's vision for metacognitive AI could fundamentally shift how models allocate computational resources.
Amazon's competitive-agent architecture creates a continuous improvement cycle that develops security protections at machine speed, reducing what typically takes weeks down to hours.
A new approach to reducing carbon emissions reveals previously hidden emission “hotspots” within value chains, helping organizations make more detailed and dynamic decisions about their future carbon footprints.
How agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.

USENIX ATC 20222022Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL cloud database service that provides consistent performance at any scale. Hundreds of thousands of customers rely on DynamoDB for its fundamental properties: consistent performance, availability, durability, and a fully managed serverless experience. In 2021, during the 66-hour Amazon Prime Day shopping event, Amazon systems - including Alexa, the Amazon.com sites, and Amazon

APSys Workshop on Systems2022Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used in real world applications, e.g, computer vision. Winograd based convolution are usually applied due to its low computation complexity. For the underling hardware, ARM many-core CPUs, by their price performance, are favored by cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, existing Winograd convolution implementations for ARM architecture are

RLDM 2022 Workshop2022We study task-agnostic continual reinforcement learning (TACRL) in which standard RL challenges are compounded with partial observability stemming from ask agnosticism, as well as additional difficulties of continual learning (CL), i.e., learning on a non-stationary sequence of tasks. Here we compare TACRL methods with their soft upper bounds prescribed by previous literature: multi-task learning (MTL)

TSD 20222022We propose a novel approach for semi-supervised learning (SSL) designed to overcome distribution shifts between training and real-world data arising in the keyword spotting (KWS) task. Shifts from training data distribution are a key challenge for real-world KWS tasks: when a new model is deployed on device, the gating of the accepted data undergoes a shift in distribution, making the problem of timely

TSD 20222022We propose a novel 2-stage sub 8-bit quantization aware training algorithm for all components of a 250K parameter feedforward, streaming, state-free keyword spotting model. For the 1st-stage, we adapt a recently proposed quantization technique using a non-linear transformation with tanh(.) on dense layer weights. In the 2nd-stage, we use linear quantization methods on the rest of the network, including
