AWS rolls out SageMaker Studio Lab, a free ML service for beginners

Dec, 01, 2021 Hi-network.com

Amazon Web Services on Wednesday unveiled SageMaker Studio Lab, a free version of Amazon SageMaker -- the AWS service that helps customers build, train and deploy machine learning models. Designed for machine learning novices, users can try SageMaker Studio Lab without an AWS account, credit card or any cloud configuration knowledge.

Managing AI and ML in the Enterprise

The AI and ML deployments are well underway, but for CXOs the biggest issue will be managing these initiatives, and figuring out where the data science team fits in and what algorithms to buy versus build.

Studio Lab is currently available in public preview.

The service is based on open-source JupyterLab and provides free access to AWS compute resources. To begin, a user creates an account (separate from an AWS account) and selects whether they need a CPU or GPU instance for their project. The service offers 12 hours of CPU or four hours of GPU per user session, with an unlimited number of user sessions available. 

Users get a minimum of 15 GB of persistent storage per project. When a session expires, Studio Lab will take a snapshot of the environment, so users can pick up right where they left off.

AWS is using SageMaker Studio Lab to launch the AWS Disaster Response Hackathon, which aims to inspire ideas for using machine learning to tackle challenges related to natural disaster preparedness and response. The hackathon runs through February 7, 2022, and it's offering a total of$54,000 in prizes. AWS is also attempting to set the Guinness World Record for the "largest machine learning competition."

Meanwhile, AWS is also launching a new$10 million scholarship to help students pursue careers in machine learning andAI. The AWS Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Scholarship (AWS AI & ML Scholarship) program is designed to serve high school and college students who are underserved and underrepresented in the field. 

The program uses AWS DeepRacer and the new AWS DeepRacer Student League to teach students foundational machine learning concepts. 

As many as 2,000 qualifying students will win a scholarship for the AI Programming with Python Udacity Nanodegree program. Five hundred students who receive the highest scores in the first Udacity Nanodegree program will earn a second Udacity Nanodegree program scholarship on deep learning and machine learning engineering. These top 500 students will also have access to mentorship opportunities from tenured Amazon and Intel technology experts for career insights and advice. The program will also offer no-cost access to dozens of hours of free machine learning model training and educational materials.
