AWS announces Amazon SageMaker Partner AI Apps

Today Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) announced the general availability of Amazon SageMaker partner AI apps, a new capability that enables customers to easily discover, deploy, and use best-in-class machine learning (ML) and generative AI (GenAI) development applications from leading app providers privately and securely, all without leaving Amazon SageMaker AI so they can develop performant AI models faster.

Until today, integrating purpose-built GenAI and ML development applications that provide specialized capabilities for a variety of model development tasks, required a considerable amount of effort. Beyond the need to invest time and effort in due diligence to evaluate existing offerings, customers had to perform undifferentiated heavy lifting in deploying, managing, upgrading and scaling these applications. Furthermore, to adhere to rigorous security and compliance protocols, organizations need their data to stay within the confines of their security boundaries without needing to move their data elsewhere, for example, to a Software as a Service (SaaS) application. Finally, the resulting developer experience is often fragmented, with developers having to switch back and forth between multiple disjointed interfaces. With SageMaker partner AI apps you can quickly subscribe to a partner solution and seamlessly integrate the app with your SageMaker development environment. SageMaker partner AI apps are fully managed and run privately and securely in your SageMaker environment reducing the risk of data and model exfiltration.

At launch, you will be able to boost your team’s productivity and reduce time to market by enabling: Comet, to track, visualize, and manage experiments for AI model development; Deepchecks, to evaluate quality and compliance for AI models; Fiddler, to validate, monitor, analyze, and improve AI models in production; and, Lakera, to protect AI applications from security threats such as prompt attacks, data loss and inappropriate content.

SageMaker partner AI apps is available in all currently supported regions except Gov Cloud. To learn more please visit SageMaker partner AI app’s developer guide.
