    • SageMaker AI introduces Training Sessions, allowing users to control post-training logic without managing underlying GPUs.
    • The system automatically handles GPU allocation, distributed execution, and fault recovery, simplifying complex workflows like reinforcement learning.
    • Documentation and cookbook examples are provided to help developers quickly implement custom loss functions or reward signals.

    • New APIs convert operations like `forward_backward()` and `optim_step()` into cloud calls, decoupling compute from algorithm logic
    • Fills the gap between fully managed services (black box) and self-hosted clusters (high ops), suitable for complex scenarios like SFT and RLHF
    • Users compose training logic via APIs but do not need to handle GPU scheduling, drivers, or distributed communication details
