Amazon SageMaker Studio provides a fully managed solution for data scientists to interactively build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models. In addition to the interactive ML experience, data workers also seek solutions to run notebooks as ephemeral jobs without the need to refactor code as Python modules or learn DevOps tools and best practices to automate their deployment infrastructure. Previously, when data scientists wanted to take the code they built interactively on notebooks and run them as batch jobs, they were faced with a steep learning curve using Amazon SageMaker Pipelines, AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, or other solutions that are difficult to set up, use, and manage. With SageMaker notebook jobs, you can now run your notebooks as is or in a parameterized fashion with just a few simple clicks from the SageMaker Studio or SageMaker Studio Lab interface. You can run these notebooks on a schedule or immediately.

AI tech can make retail storefronts relevant and engaging to the modern consumer. With the continued dominance of artificial intelligence in business applications, we've started to see a dramatic shift in how people shop for and purchase products. At least 60% of the U.S. population have made mobile purchases; 82% of mobile phone users use their devices while in-store to help them make a product decision. As mobile commerce continues to grow, retail stores will need to adopt new technologies to stay afloat. Consumer reliance on smart devices will only become greater, so brick-and-mortar stores must act quickly if they don't want to become outdated.

We're thrilled to announce that Stability AI has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider to power its state-of-the-art AI models for image, language, audio, video, and 3D content generation. Stability AI is a community-driven, open-source artificial intelligence (AI) company developing breakthrough technologies. With Amazon SageMaker, Stability AI will build AI models on compute clusters with thousands of GPU or AWS Trainium chips, reducing training time and cost by 58%. Stability AI will also collaborate with AWS to enable students, researchers, startups, and enterprises around the world to use its open-source tools and models. "Our mission at Stability AI is to build the foundation to activate humanity's potential through AI. AWS has been an integral partner in scaling our open-source foundation models across modalities, and we are delighted to bring these to SageMaker to enable tens of thousands of developers and millions of users to take advantage of them. We look forward to seeing the amazing things built on these models and helping our customers customize and scale their models and solutions."

Today we are excited to announce that AI21 Jurassic-1 (J1) foundation models are available for customers using Amazon SageMaker. Jurassic-1 models are highly versatile, capable of both human-like text generation, as well as solving complex tasks such as question answering, text classification, and many others. You can easily try out this model and use it with Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. JumpStart is the machine learning (ML) hub of SageMaker that provides access to foundation models in addition to built-in algorithms and end-to-end solution templates to help you quickly get started with ML. In this post, we walk through how to use the Jurassic-1 Grande model in SageMaker.

Cyber Monday has come and gone, but if you're still looking to pick up a new smart display or two ahead of the holidays, a newer deal on Amazon's Echo Shows may be of interest: The retailer is currently offering a bundle that pairs its Echo Show 8 with the Kids edition of its Echo Show 5 for $70. We've seen the Echo Show 8 alone go for $70 for much of the last two months, but that still equals the lowest price we've tracked. Normally, it retails closer to $100. With this deal, you're effectively getting an Echo Show 5 Kids thrown in at no extra cost. That device is currently available on its own for $40, but its average street price over the last few months has sat closer to $60.

Netail, a technology that enables retailers to auto-identify competitors across the internet and track their assortments, availability and optimize prices in real time, announced the closing of $5 Million in seed funding. The round was co-led by Magarac Venture Partners (MVP), which provides early-stage venture capital to dynamic entrepreneurs and successful technology companies throughout the Midwest, and Dr. Andrew Ng's AI Fund. Other investors include HKSTP Ventures. Consumer behavior has changed dramatically, and the majority of purchase decisions are now made online via search, marketplaces and social media. With retailers struggling to adapt, Netail's AI technology is designed to help them succeed by attracting, converting and retaining customers in these increasingly competitive digital arenas.

We present Visuelle 2.0, the first dataset useful for facing diverse prediction problems that a fast-fashion company has to manage routinely. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the use of computer vision is substantial in this scenario. Visuelle 2.0 contains data for 6 seasons / 5355 clothing products of Nuna Lie, a famous Italian company with hundreds of shops located in different areas within the country. In particular, we focus on a specific prediction problem, namely short-observation new product sale forecasting (SO-fore). SO-fore assumes that the season has started and a set of new products is on the shelves of the different stores. The goal is to forecast the sales for a particular horizon, given a short, available past (few weeks), since no earlier statistics are available. To be successful, SO-fore approaches should capture this short past and exploit other modalities or exogenous data. To these aims, Visuelle 2.0 is equipped with disaggregated data at the item-shop level and multi-modal information for each clothing item, allowing computer vision approaches to come into play. The main message that we deliver is that the use of image data with deep networks boosts performances obtained when using the time series in long-term forecasting scenarios, ameliorating the WAPE and MAE by up to 5.48% and 7% respectively compared to competitive baseline methods. The dataset is available at https://humaticslab.github.io/forecasting/visuelle

Just like upgrading the bed you sleep on, few things will improve your life like a good chair. If you park your body in front of a desk all day, it's a good idea to give the humble chair more attention. Some of our favorites are on sale right now. See our Best Office Chairs guide for more. Our top office chair pick is a bit cheaper right now. We've tested more than 35 office chairs in the past year and this is the one to get based on comfort, quality, adjustability, and price. At this price, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper way to get seven points of adjustment. The only thing we don't like is that pet hair tends to cling, so keep a lint roller handy. The Zeph looks wonderful--there are dozens of color customizations--but the only adjustment you can make is to raise the seat up or down. You might think that would make for an uncomfortable chair, but it doesn't. This lack of adjustability is by design as the Zeph is designed to mold to your body. We do suggest you get the seat pad and arms, which add a smidge more comfort, though it does jack the price up a bit. The Zeph is compact, making it a great option for smaller spaces. The humble Hyken is our favorite budget office chair. It reclines, has a breathable mesh fabric on the back and seat, and it's sturdy. You even get a headrest and lumbar support. After more than three years of continuous sitting, WIRED reviewers say the mesh has compressed a bit, but it's still comfy. If you want to seriously up your home office game, the Embody is the chair to get. This price is for the titanium base, but you can save some money if you go for the graphite. It's stylish and comfortable with an array of knobs and levers that let you tailor the chair to your body like a bespoke suit.
