Unique end-of-arm tools with three-dimensional force sensors and innovative control algorithms enable robotic arms to “pick” items from and “stow” items in fabric storage pods.
We present Amazon Nova Premier, our most capable multimodal foundation model and teacher for model distillation.
In experiments involving real quantum devices and algorithms, automated-reasoning-based method for mapping quantum computations onto quantum circuits is 26 times as fast as predecessors.
A new multimodal foundation model that unifies speech and text processing in a single architecture, delivering frontier voice intelligence and industry-leading price performance.
Novel training procedure and decoding mechanism enable model to outperform much larger foundation model prompted to perform the same task.

ICMLT 20252025Applications of reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world scenarios are often limited by its generalizability across multiple different environments. Contextual RL offers a principled solution to this issue by capturing environmental heterogeneity through observable contextual variables. However, directly applying Contextual RL may not achieve optimal results when contexts exhibit high randomness and variance

International Journal of Research in Marketing2025In 2020, Amazon launched the Climate Pledge Friendly (CPF) program to make it easy for customers to discover and shop for products with sustainability certifications. In this paper, we measure the causal impact of products qualifying for CPF on consumer purchase behavior. Using a dataset of about 45,000 products spanning three categories, and a Differencein-Differences identification strategy, we show that

QECC-Synth: A layout synthesizer for quantum error correction codes on sparse hardware architecturesASPLOS 20252025Quantum Error Correction (QEC) codes are essential for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). However, their implementation faces significant challenges due to disparity between required dense qubit connectivity and sparse hardware architectures. Current approaches often either underutilize QEC circuit features or focus on manual designs tailored to specific codes and architectures, limiting

2025Hybrid models that combine the language modeling capabilities of Attention layers with the efficiency of Recurrent layers (e.g., State Space Models) have gained traction in practically supporting long contexts in Large Language Model serving. Yet, the unique properties of these models complicate the usage of complementary efficiency optimizations such as prefix caching that skip redundant computations across

2025Training Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) with billions of parameters generally involves pipeline-parallel (PP) execution. Unfortunately, PP model training can use GPUs inefficiently, especially at large scale, due to idle GPU time caused by pipeline bubbles, which are often 15–30% and can exceed 60% of the training job’s GPU allocation. To improve the GPU utilization of PP model training, this paper describes
