Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field developing computers and robots capable of parsing data contextually to provide requested information, supply analysis, or trigger events based on findings. Through techniques like machine learning and neural networks, companies globally are investing in teaching machines to ‘think’ more like humans. Below are some of the latest AI news from the industry:
How INRIX accelerates transportation planning with Amazon Bedrock
This post is co-written with Shashank Saraogi, Nat Gale, and Durran Kelly from INRIX. The complexity of modern traffic management extends far beyond mere road monitoring, encompassing massive amounts of data collected worldwide from connected cars, mobile devices, roadway sensors, and major event monitoring systems. For transportation authorities managing u ...
Qwen3 family of reasoning models now available in Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart
Today, we are excited to announce that Qwen3, the latest generation of large language models (LLMs) in the Qwen family, is available through Amazon Bedrock Marketplace and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. With this launch, you can deploy the Qwen3 models—available in 0.6B, 4B, 8B, and 32B parameter sizes—to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your generative ...
Build a just-in-time knowledge base with Amazon Bedrock
Software as a service (SaaS) companies managing multiple tenants face a critical challenge: efficiently extracting meaningful insights from vast document collections while controlling costs. Traditional approaches often lead to unnecessary spending on unused storage and processing resources, impacting both operational efficiency and profitability. Organizati ...
Agents as escalators: Real-time AI video monitoring with Amazon Bedrock Agents and video streams
Organizations deploying video monitoring systems face a critical challenge: processing continuous video streams while maintaining accurate situational awareness. Traditional monitoring approaches that use rule-based detection or basic computer vision frequently miss important events or generate excessive false positives, leading to operational inefficiencies ...

Enabling Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP2) in Opacus
Introduction and Context Opacus is making significant strides in supporting private training of large-scale models with its latest enhancements. Recently, we introduced Fast Gradient Clipping (FGC) and Ghost Clipping (GC), which enabled developers and researchers to perform gradient clipping without instantiating the per-sample gradients. These methods reduc ...
AI Testing and Evaluation: Learnings from pharmaceuticals and medical devices
Generative AI presents a unique challenge and opportunity to reexamine governance practices for the responsible development, deployment, and use of AI. To advance thinking in this space, Microsoft has tapped into the experience and knowledge of experts across domains—from genome editing to cybersecurity—to investigate the role of testing and evaluatio ...
The Geometries of Truth Are Orthogonal Across Tasks
This paper was presented at the Workshop on Reliable and Responsible Foundation Models at ICML 2025. Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive generalization capabilities across various tasks, but their claim to practical relevance is still mired by concerns on their reliability. Recent works have proposed examining the activations produced b ...
