Amazon Science

In 2016 a small research team at Amazon announced our presence to the world with the launch of the Automated Reasoning Group (ARG). Our vision was bold: use mathematical logic to not just test AWS systems but to prove, with mathematical certainty, that th

Modern LLM architectures have co-evolved within a single hardware family. The shapes of our attention mechanisms, the structure of our multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), the choice of numerical formats, and even the granularity of parallelism strategies have

Build on Trainium is a $110 million credit program focused on AI research and university education aimed to support the next generation of innovation and development on AWS Trainium. The program provides compute credits to novel AI research on Trainium, i

Training a machine learning model to handle multiple objectives simultaneously is a bit like trying to follow GPS directions to several destinations at once: the routes often conflict, and compromising between them can leave you farther from every destina

When a virtual patient in a benchmark scenario tells an AI agent they're feeling feverish, or hopeless, the difference between a safe response and an unsafe one often comes down to clinical design - not just medical knowledge. As healthcare AI shifts from

We want to tell you about an investment we're making and why we're excited about it. As AI agents increasingly make decisions that move money, approve claims, and operate critical infrastructure, the standard approach to software testing is no longer suff

From warehouse automation to surgical assistance, many real-world applications depend on robots performing delicate, contact-intensive tasks. Often missing in these situations is the sense of touch: robots need to feel the forces on their fingertips to ma

Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the techniques we use to make language models better at sustained, multistep tasks like writing code, navigating a website, or carrying out a research workflow. The model doesn't act alone in those settings; it's wrap

At Amazon, we believe that as our strategy to reach net-zero by 2040 evolves, we need to continue to raise the bar on what and how we measure. Measuring carbon emissions across our entire business is complex, and the tools and methodologies available are

Amazon is investing in next-generation nuclear technology to meet the rising energy demands of AI infrastructure and cloud computing, and at the heart of that technology are tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles. This is not your grandparents' nu
