PartyRock is an Amazon Bedrock playground that anyone can use to create generative AI-powered applications by simply describing the app you want to build without the need to write any code. Since its launch in November 2023, over half a million apps have been built by users worldwide. These apps range from simple text generators to sophisticated productivity tools that combine multiple AI capabilities. Throughout this year, we observed that as PartyRock users build skills and intuition by using the playground, they find interesting and useful ways to build apps for improving their daily lives. PartyRock apps increased their individual productivity, and they returned to PartyRock to use them regularly. Today, we’re introducing improvements meeting the most requested customer needs:…

Amazon FSx for Lustre increases throughput to GPU instances by up to 12x
Today, we are announcing support for Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) and NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS) on Amazon FSx for Lustre. EFA is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that makes it possible to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale. GDS is a technology that creates a direct data path between local or remote storage and GPU memory. With these enhancements, Amazon FSx for Lustre with EFA/GDS support provides up to 12 times higher (up to 1200 Gbps) per-client throughput compared to the previous FSx for Lustre version. You can use FSx for Lustre to build and run the most performance demanding applications, such as deep learning training, drug discovery, financial modeling, and autonomous vehicle development.…
