Antje Barth, Developer Advocate at Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced the release of Meta's new Llama 3.1 models, as well as Mistral Large 2 from Mistral AI, on both Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Llama 3.1 is Meta's most advanced and capable model yet, coming in 8B, 70B, and 405B parameter sizes. These models demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of industry benchmarks and offer new capabilities for your generative AI applications. Mistral Large 2, on the other hand, is the newest version of Mistral Large, and according to Mistral AI, it offers significant improvements across multilingual capabilities, math, reasoning, coding, and much more.
The release of these new models on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart is great news for generative AI developers. These platforms provide an easy and fast way to deploy and use the models, allowing developers to focus on building their applications instead of managing infrastructure.
It is expected that the release of these new models will accelerate innovation in the field of generative AI. These models will allow developers to create more powerful applications that are capable of solving complex problems.
In addition to the release of the new models, Antje Barth also announced a number of other updates from AWS, including faster auto scaling for generative AI models in Amazon SageMaker inference, and AWS Step Functions now supports customer managed keys with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
