TorchNeuron System-Level Performance Analysis (Part 1): End-to-End Profiling Based on the AWS Trainium Chip

This article is the first in a series of technical blog posts jointly published by Hugging Face and Amazon, systematically introducing how to use TorchNeuron on AWS Trainium AI accelerator chips for PyTorch model inference performance analysis. It covers the principles of Neuron backend integration, methods for configuring torch.profiler, the use of NeuronConfig and NeuronProfiler tools, and visualized tracing with Neuron Explorer. Additionally, using RMSNorm as an example, it compares the device‑time differences among three implementations: plain PyTorch, the built-in torch.rms_norm fusion, and torch.compile’s automatic fusion.

NVIDIA releases Kumo Forecast: a multivariate forecasting model that integrates pre-trained time-series representations, historical pattern retrieval, and interpretability.

NVIDIA has launched the open-source time-series forecasting model Kumo Forecast (formerly NV-Tesseract Forecasting), which is built on the MOMENT-1-large Transformer architecture. It supports both direct prediction and dual-path inference via Domain-Aware Representation and Retrieval (DARR), and includes a built-in interpretability framework that requires no modifications to the model structure.

NVIDIA releases Kumo Relational: the first foundation model for structured data that outperforms supervised learning without any training.

NVIDIA has launched Kumo Relational, a pre-trained relational foundation model that can perform predictive tasks—such as churn prediction, fraud detection, and demand forecasting—directly on enterprise‑grade relational databases, without the need for task fine-tuning, feature engineering, or table flattening. In 41 benchmark tests spanning 15 databases, it outperformed supervised models like XGBoost across the board, and on the SAP SALT enterprise benchmark, its MRR metric surpassed AutoGluon by 8%. The model supports databases with up to 500 billion rows and enables zero‑code predictive queries via Predictive Query Language (PQL).

i14 releases the Laplace 3B linear attention model: inference with fixed-state memory, implemented on AWS Trainium2 and native PyTorch.

i14 has launched the Laplace 3B model with 3.028 billion parameters, which replaces Softmax attention with Gated Linear Attention (GLA). During inference, its per-sequence recursive state remains constant at 29.5 MB, independent of context length. The model was trained and validated on a single AWS trn2.48xlarge instance (equipped with 16 Trainium 2 chips), achieving a training throughput of 120,000 tokens per second and an inference throughput of 11,544 output tokens per second (with 1,280 concurrent sequences). All performance metrics are based on internal measurements conducted by i14 and the AWS GenAIIC team.

SF Compute builds a programmable data center: leveraging physical delivery to power the GPU computing power trading market.

SF Compute was founded by Evan Conrad and is dedicated to building a neutral, programmable GPU computing‑power trading infrastructure that supports physical delivery. Its model rejects the abstraction of FLOPS as a commodity, emphasizing hardware heterogeneity, actual delivery, and real‑time constraints—such as interrupt tolerance, InfiniBand topology, and firmware versions. The platform has already facilitated tens of billions of dollars in transaction volume and introduced low‑level capabilities like dynamic InfiniBand subnet partitioning.

SF Compute builds a programmable data center: leveraging physical delivery to drive the marketization of GPU computing power trading.

SF Compute was founded by Evan Conrad and focuses on enabling programmable, physically settled trading of GPU computing power. It does not operate its own data centers; instead, it leverages full-stack technology to collaborate with third-party facilities in co-building a “sovereign compute cloud,” emphasizing market neutrality and infrastructure controllability. The company has already facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction volume and implemented key capabilities such as dynamic InfiniBand partitioning.

GPT-OSS-20B Multilingual Reasoning Fine-Tuning Experiment: SFT Enables Zero-Base Behavior Acquisition, while GRPO Only Effectively Improves Performance When a Probabilistic Headspace Exists

The AWS team conducted multilingual inference fine-tuning experiments on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod using GPT‑OSS‑20B, employing LoRA for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. SFT boosted the correctness rate of inference in five languages (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian) from 22% to 100%, though the correctness rate for the answer language remained at only 62%. GRPO further improved the answer-language correctness rate to 70% without compromising inference-language performance; however, the gains varied across languages—for example, Spanish saw a +30 percentage-point increase, while Italian experienced a -20 percentage-point decline. The experiments clearly demonstrated that GRPO cannot bootstrap new capabilities from scratch and can only optimize behaviors that already occur sporadically.

Octave builds a secure, multi-tenant AI infrastructure based on Amazon Bedrock, supporting semantic search across 2 billion regulatory documents.

Octave Reliance has built a rigorously tenant-isolated AI infrastructure using Amazon Bedrock, integrating Cohere Embed v4 with the AgentCore micro‑VM runtime to deliver a Complaint Triage Assistant across the medical device, pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing industries. This solution supports semantic search across more than 2 billion regulated documents—such as complaints, CAPAs, and audit findings—while completely preventing cross-tenant data leakage throughout the process.

AWS Bedrock has launched cross-region inference in the Canada region, supporting calls to the nominal GPT-5.6/GPT-6/GPT-6.1 models.

Amazon Web Services announced that Canadian customers can, via Amazon Bedrock, invoke models branded as OpenAI GPT-5.6, GPT-6, and GPT-6.1 in the ca-central-1 (Canada Central) and ca-west-1 (Canada West/Calgary) regions using cross-region inference (CRIS); the actual inference takes place in North American or global AWS commercial regions, while data remains at rest in the Canadian source region.

The New Economics of Enterprise AI: From “Can It Be Used?” to “How to Achieve Efficient Output”

The article uses the widespread adoption of electricity as an analogy, noting that enterprise AI is transitioning from a phase of isolated experiments to one of infrastructure‑level deployment. The central question has shifted from “Can we deploy AI?” to “How can we deliver measurable business outcomes at the lowest effective cost?” It introduces “the effective cost per useful output” as a key metric and analyzes the economic differences among three AI operating models—building an in‑house stack, leveraging on‑demand cloud services, and integrating a private AI platform—while emphasizing the decisive impact of operational practices such as utilization rates, model selection, and cache management on ROI.
