Reduce ML training costs with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod

AWS Machine Learning - AI

Training a frontier model is highly compute-intensive, requiring a distributed system of hundreds, or thousands, of accelerated instances running for several weeks or months to complete a single job. For example, pre-training the Llama 3 70B model with 15 trillion training tokens took 6.5 During the training of Llama 3.1
