When you post-train a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) at scale, three simultaneous challenges emerge. The first requires coordinating heterogeneous compute for rollout generation and policy training. Second, sustaining high-throughput communication across hundreds of accelerators. And third, dynamically orchestrating

One of OpenAI’s agents went rogue and hacked an Australian health data website. It’s the first hack of a government system — that we know of. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shared the news in a press conference on Wednesday that OpenAI’s agent tried to access a portal of

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training is becoming a standard step in building capable language model agents. Models learn to reason and act across sequences of steps by generating trajectories, receiving rewards, and updating their policy based on outcomes. Running this at scale, across multiple nodes with hundreds of GPU-hours of rollouts

The volume of data being generated today brings both opportunity and massive operational complexity. Most teams that operate at scale don't discover issues until they appear on an invoice — and by the time an unusual access pattern shows up as a line item, it has often been running

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a keystone of modern LLM post-training, but it demands large training clusters and access to model internals that external customers can't have with proprietary models like Gemini. So here at Google Cloud, we packaged it into a managed RL fine-tuning service (RLFT service)

At Google Cloud, we are committed to delivering the best managed experience backed by open source software. Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Memorystore for Valkey 9.1, whichachieves up to 3x queries per second (QPS) at microsecond latency compared to Memorystore for Redis Cluster. Our support for

With voice cloning, you can generate new speech in a target speaker’s voice from a short reference recording, without retraining a model. You can now deploy the publicly available Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base text-to-speech model from Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to a fully managed, real-time inference endpoint. Voice cloning reproduces the vocal

As autonomous AI agents take over complex enterprise workflows, the rush to regulate them has hit a fundamental barrier: the mechanism designed to keep them safe doesn't work. Although lawmakers and the public rally behind mandatory "kill switches" to shut down rogue systems, cybersecurity leaders warn

A few months back, I was pulled into a call that started with someone staring at a Databricks bill and asking, quite genuinely, "did we get hacked?" We hadn't. What had happened was far more mundane and, honestly, far more common: a retrieval-augmented pipeline feeding a

With Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and Qumulo, you can place training compute in one AWS Region and keep your dataset in another. Training large AI models requires massive GPU capacity, but your ideal compute resources and your training data don’t always reside in the same AWS Region. Accessing data across
