Leading open-source artificial intelligence
startup trains foundational models 58% faster and more cost
efficiently using Amazon SageMaker on AWS
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an
Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that
Stability AI, a community-driven, open-source artificial
intelligence (AI) company, has selected AWS as its preferred cloud
provider to build and scale its AI models for image, language,
audio, video, and 3D content generation. Stability AI uses Amazon
SageMaker (AWS’s end-to-end machine learning service), as well as
AWS’s proven compute infrastructure and storage, to accelerate its
work on open-source generative AI models. In addition, Stability AI
will collaborate with AWS to make its open-source tools and models
available to students, researchers, startups, and enterprises
around the world.
Stability AI offers generative AI models that create text,
images, audio, video, code, and more from simple text instructions.
Generative AI or foundational models—models that are adaptable to a
variety of tasks in domains such as language, image, audio, and
video—require a high-performance compute cluster with thousands of
GPUs or AWS Trainium chips, advanced expertise, and months of
training. The company recently released Stable Diffusion Version
2.0, which features open-source models for state-of-the-art image
generation, allowing users to create new images from user-supplied
text and image inputs. This latest open-source release also
introduces models to upscale image resolution and infer depth
information to generate new images.
Stability AI will use Amazon SageMaker to build and train
machine learning models, reducing training time and costs by 58%
compared to self-managed machine learning infrastructure. The
company is provisioning one of the largest clusters of machine
learning instances to run its open-source models on AWS using
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), making it easier for
developers to access those models. Going forward, Stability AI
plans to use AWS machine learning and AI services to build and
train future models to achieve the best performance at the lowest
cost. Stability AI will also make its open-source models available
on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, the model hub of Amazon SageMaker,
for all AWS customers.
“At Stability AI, our mission is to build the foundation to
activate humanity's potential through AI,” said Emad Mostaque,
founder and CEO of Stability AI. “AWS has played an integral role
in scaling our open-source foundation models across modalities. We
are delighted to run these models on Amazon SageMaker to enable
tens of thousands of developers and millions of users to leverage
the power of AI with a robust set of tools. We look forward to
seeing the amazing things that developers build and customers
design and implement using collective intelligence and augmented
technology.”
“Only AWS offers the scale, reliability, and efficiency to
deliver the next generation of AI with Stability AI, which will
enable billions of people to create stunning art within seconds,”
said Bratin Saha, vice president of Machine Learning and AI
Services at Amazon. “Amazon SageMaker will help Stability AI scale
its use of machine learning with end-to-end tooling, empowering
developers to innovate AI applications and dream up new use cases.
We are excited to help them invent new products, services, and
experiences for the world with the proven performance of one of the
largest-ever clusters of machine learning instances in the
cloud.”
