AWS SageMaker HyperPod Adds Managed Ray Support
Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now offers managed Ray support on Amazon EKS. Users can create and monitor Ray clusters, connect JupyterLab and Code Editor notebooks to live clusters, and access out-of-the-box observability. It enables resilient distributed training and accelerated inference from SageMaker Studio, using open-source KubeRay and standard Ray APIs.

Postman runs Agent Mode for 40 million developers on Amazon Bedrock
Postman and AWS detailed the architecture behind Postman's Agent Mode, which serves 40 million developers on Amazon Bedrock. The post covers controlling tool sprawl, exposing schema-based reads, and treating context as the real bottleneck when running an AI agent at scale rather than in a demo.

Ai2 replaces priority GPU scheduler with budget-based fair-share system
Ai2's AI Infrastructure team replaced its priority-based GPU scheduler with a system using GPU time budgets, hierarchical fair-share allocation, and time-slicing contracts. The institute manages thousands of NVIDIA H100, B200, and B300 GPUs across 88- to 1024-GPU clusters for about 150 researchers, with demand running 2-3x available capacity. The change moved GPU allocation debates into a transparent administrative budgeting process.

BlockRun and Incarna use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments for per-inference agent billing
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments lets AI agents pay for services on demand with infrastructure-enforced spending limits. Incarna's agents pay BlockRun for model inference one request at a time over x402, reducing the work of adding x402 payment support from months to days, according to an AWS Machine Learning Blog post.
