How AWS infrastructure is powering the GenAI boom

Date: December 17, 2024. 12pm

Place: Online

AWS’s GenAI-optimized range of services is enabling organisations to lead innovation and drive business advantage.

Generative AI’s capacity to transform just about every industry and sector – thereby revolutionizing standard line-of-business processes and enabling enterprises to find new opportunities – is increasingly evident.

To enable its customers to meet the challenges this important technology shift brings, AWS has been growing its infrastructure to power GenAI. AWS has a broad portfolio of services in compute, networking and storage designed to support GenAI developers.

Understanding emergent GenAI trends – such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), multi-modal models, and techniques like domain adaptation – is essential if enterprises are to gain business advantage from GenAI’s potential.

In this webinar The Register’s James Hayes is joined by Diwakar Bansal, Principal GenAI Specialist at AWS, to take a deep delve into the latest advances in performant, scalable and cost-effective Machine Learning infrastructure from AWS, ranging from the latest GPUs to instances based on AWS’s AI chips Trainium and Inferentia.

Join this insightful webinar to find out about:

  • The latest advancements in AWS infrastructure to power GenAI.
  • Emergent GenAI trends such as LLMs, SLMs, multi-modal models, and other key GenAI development techniques.
  • Challenges GenAI developers face, and how AWS is helping to resolve those.
