Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Reproducing ARC Evals' recent report on language model agents, published by Thomas Broadley on September 1, 2023 on LessWrong. I reproduced results from ARC Evals' recent report, Evaluating Language-Model Agents on Realistic Autonomous Tasks. For the report, ARC Evals built a set of language model agents, combining a language model like GPT-4 with scaffolding software that lets the language model execute shell commands and interact with a browser. Then, it asked the agents to complete a set of 12 computer-related tasks, from searching Wikipedia for information to conducting a phishing campaign. The goal is to test how close the agents are to being able to make money, obtain computing power, make copies of themselves, and adapt to changes in their environment. To reproduce these results, I wrote my own language model agent. It's similar to ARC Evals' GPT-4-simple agent. It's also based on GPT-4 and allows the model to run bash commands in a REPL. On top of that, it uses WebdriverIO and Google Chrome to let GPT-4 visit webpages and interact with them by typing text into inputs and clicking links and buttons. I didn't replicate ARC Evals' experimental setup exactly. I ran the agent on my own laptop instead of on a real server in the cloud. I also didn't bother giving the agent credentials for 2Captcha, LinkedIn, PayPal, or Twitter. Nor did I give it debit card information or an email address. However, I did give the agent access to my AWS and Twilio accounts. A language model agent completes tasks by running a think-do loop. At each timestep, GPT-4 thinks about what to do next and calls a function. The scaffolding responds to the function call by executing a bash command or an action in Google Chrome and adds the results to GPT-4's context window. Then, the process repeats. I set up the scaffolding so that I can approve, disapprove, or edit each bash command before it was run. The scaffolding also lets me edit commands' response codes, stdout, and stderr before adding those to the agent's context window.

Everett Berry, Growth and Open Source at Vantage, joins Corey at Screaming in the Cloud to discuss the complex world of cloud costs. Everett describes how Vantage takes a broad approach to understanding and cutting cloud costs across a number of different providers, and reveals which providers he feels generate large costs quickly. Everett also explains some of his best practices for cutting costs on cloud providers, and explores what he feels the impact of AI will be on cloud providers. Corey and Everett also discuss the pros and cons of AWS savings plans, why AWS can't be counted out when it comes to AI, and why there seems to be such a delay in upgrading instances despite the cost savings. About EverettEverett is the maintainer of ec2instances.info at Vantage. He also writes about cloud infrastructure and analyzes cloud spend. Prior to Vantage Everett was a developer advocate at Arctype, a collaborative SQL client acquired by ClickHouse. Before that, Everett was cofounder and CTO of Perceive, a computer vision company. In his spare time he enjoys playing golf, reading sci-fi, and scrolling Twitter.Links Referenced: Vantage: https://www.vantage.sh/ Vantage Cloud Cost Report: https://www.vantage.sh/cloud-cost-report Everett Berry Twitter: https://twitter.com/retttx Vantage Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoinVantage TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey:  LANs of the late 90's and early 2000's were a magical place to learn about computers, hang out with your friends, and do cool stuff like share files, run websites & game servers, and occasionally bring the whole thing down with some ill-conceived software or network configuration. That's not how things are done anymore, but what if we could have a 90's style LAN experience along with the best parts of the 21st century internet? (Most of which are very hard to find these days.) Tailscale thinks we can, and I'm inclined to agree. With Tailscale I can use trusted identity providers like Google, or Okta, or GitHub to authenticate users, and automatically generate & rotate keys to authenticate devices I've added to my network. I can also share access to those devices with friends and teammates, or tag devices to give my team broader access. And that's the magic of it, your data is protected by the simple yet powerful social dynamics of small groups that you trust.Try now - it's free forever for personal use. I've been using it for almost two years personally, and am moderately annoyed that they haven't attempted to charge me for what's become an essential-to-my-workflow service.Corey: Have you listened to the new season of Traceroute yet? Traceroute is a tech podcast that peels back the layers of the stack to tell the real, human stories about how the inner workings of our digital world affect our lives in ways you may have never thought of before. Listen and follow Traceroute on your favorite platform, or learn more about Traceroute at origins.dev. My thanks to them for sponsoring this ridiculous podcast. Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. This seems like an opportune moment to take a step back and look at the overall trend in cloud—specifically AWS—spending. And who better to do that than this week, my guest is Everett Berry who is growth in open-source over at Vantage. And they've just released the Vantage Cloud Cost Report for Q1 of 2023. Everett, thank you for joining me.Everett: Thanks for having me, Corey.Corey: I enjoy playing slap and tickle with AWS bills because I am broken in exactly that kind of way where this is the thing I'm going to do with my time and energy and career. It's rare to find people who are, I guess, similarly afflicted. So, it's great to wind up talking to you, first off.Everett: Yeah, great to be with you as well. Last Week in AWS and in particular, your Twitter account, are things that we follow religiously at Vantage.Corey: Uh-oh [laugh]. So, I want to be clear because I'm sure someone's thinking it out there, that, wait, Vantage does cloud cost optimization as a service? Isn't that what I do? Aren't we competitors? And the answer that I have to that is not by any definition that I've ever seen that was even halfway sensible.If SaaS could do the kind of bespoke consulting engagements that I do, we would not sell bespoke consulting engagements because it's easier to click button: receive software. And I also will point out that we tend to work once customers are at a certain point at scale that in many cases is a bit prohibitive for folks who are just now trying to understand what the heck's going on the first time finance has some very pointed questions about the AWS bill. That's how I see it from my perspective, anyway. Agree? Disagree?Everett: Yeah, I agree with that. I think the product solution, the system of record that companies need when they're dealing with Cloud costs ends up being a different service than the one that you guys provide. And I think actually the to work in concert very well, where you establish a cloud cost optimization practice, and then you keep it in place via software and via sort of the various reporting tools that the Vantage provide. So, I completely agree with you. In fact, in the hundreds of customers and deals that Vantage has worked on, I don't think we have ever come up against Duckbill Group. So, that tells you everything you need to know in that regard.Corey: Yeah. And what's interesting about this is that you have a different scale of visibility into the environment. We wind up dealing with a certain profile, or a couple of profiles, in our customer base. We work with dozens of companies a year; you work with hundreds. And that's bigger numbers, of course, but also in many cases at different segments of the industry.I also am somewhat fond of saying that Vantage is more focused on going broad in ways where we tend to focus on going exclusively deep. We do AWS; the end. You folks do a number of different cloud providers, you do Datadog cost visibility. I've lost track of all the different services that you wind up tracking costs for.Everett: Yeah, that's right. We just launched our 11th provider, which was OpenAI and for the first time in this report, we're actually breaking out data among the different clouds and we're comparing services across AWS, Google, and Azure. And I think it's a bit of a milestone for us because we started on AWS, where I think the cost problem is the most acute, if you will, and we've hit a point now across Azure and Google where we actually have enough data to say some interesting things about how those clouds work. But in general, we have this term, single pane of glass, which is the idea that you use 5, 6, 7 services, and you want to bundle all those costs into one report.Corey: Yeah. And that is something that we see in many cases where customers are taking a more holistic look at things. But, on some level, when people ask me, “Oh, do you focus on Google bills, too,” or Azure bills in the early days, it was, “Well, not yet. Let's take a look.” And what I was seeing was, they're spending, you know, millions or hundreds of millions, in some cases, on AWS, and oh, yeah, here's, like, a $300,000 thing we're running over on GCP is a proof-of-concept or some bizdev thing. And it's… yeah, why don't we focus on the big numbers first? The true secret of cloud economics is, you know, big numbers first rather than alphabetical, but don't tell anyone I told you that.Everett: It's pretty interesting you say that because, you know, in this graph where we break down costs across providers, you can really see that effect on Google and Azure. So, for example, the number three spending category on Google is BigQuery and I think many people would say BigQuery is kind of the jewel of the Google Cloud empire. Similarly for Azure, we actually found Databricks showing up as a top-ten service. Compare that to AWS where you just see a very routine, you know, compute, database, storage, monitoring, bandwidth, down the line. AWS still is the king of costs, if you will, in terms of, like, just running classic compute workloads. And the other services are a little bit more bespoke, which has been something interesting to see play out in our data.Corey: One thing that I've heard that's fascinating to me is that I've now heard from multiple Fortune 500 companies where the Datadog bill is now a board-level concern, given the size and scale of it. And for fun, once I modeled out all the instance-based pricing models that they have for the suite of services they offer, and at the time was three or $400 a month, per instance to run everything that they've got, which, you know, when you look at the instances that I have, costing, you know, 15, 20 bucks a month, in some cases, hmm, seems a little out of whack. And I can absolutely see that turning into an unbounded growth problem in kind of the same way. I just… I don't need to conquer the world. I'm not VC-backed. I am perfectly content at the scale that I'm at—Everett: [laugh].Corey: —with the focus on the problems that I'm focused on.Everett: Yeah, Datadog has been fascinating. It's been one of our fastest-growing providers of sort of the ‘others' category that we've launched. And I think the thing with Datadog that is interesting is you have this phrase cloud costs are all about cloud architecture and I think that's more true on Datadog than a lot of other services because if you have a model where you have, you know, thousands of hosts, and then you add-on one of Datadogs 20 services, which charges per host, suddenly your cloud bill has grown exponentially compared to probably the thing that you were after. And a similar thing happens—actually, my favorite Datadog cost recommendation is, when you have multiple endpoints, and you have sort of multiple query parameters for those endpoints, you end up in this cardinality situation where suddenly Datadog is tracking, again, like, exponentially increasing number of data points, which it's then charging to you on a usage-based model. And so, Datadog is great partners with AWS and I think it's no surprise because the two of them actually sort of go hand-in-hand in terms of the way that they… I don't want to say take ad—Corey: Extract revenue?Everett: Yeah, extract revenue. That's a good term. And, you know, you might say a similar thing about Snowflake, possibly, and the way that they do things. Like oh, the, you know, warehouse has to be on for one minute, minimum, no matter how long the query runs, and various architectural decisions that these folks make that if you were building a cost-optimized version of the service, you would probably go in the other direction.Corey: One thing that I'm also seeing, too, is that I can look at the AWS bill—and just billing data alone—and then say, “Okay, you're using Datadog, aren't you?” Like, “How did you know that?” Like, well, first, most people are secondly, CloudWatch is your number two largest service spend right now. And it's the downstream effect of hammering all the endpoints with all of the systems. And is that data you're actually using? Probably not, in some cases. It's, everyone turns on all the Datadog integrations the first time and then goes back and resets and never does it again.Everett: Yeah, I think we have this set of advice that we give Datadog folks and a lot of it is just, like, turn down the ingestion volume on your logs. Most likely, logs from 30 days ago that are correlated with some new services that you spun up—like you just talked about—are potentially not relevant anymore, for the kind of day-to-day cadence that you want to get into with your cloud spending. So yeah, I mean, I imagine when you're talking to customers, they're bringing up sort of like this interesting distinction where you may end up in a meeting room with the actual engineering team looking at the actual YAML configuration of the Datadog script, just to get a sense of like, well, what are the buttons I can press here? And so, that's… yeah, I mean, that's one reason cloud costs are a pretty interesting world is, on the surface level, you may end up buying some RIs or savings plans, but then when you really get into saving money, you end up actually changing the knobs on the services that you're talking about.Corey: That's always a fun thing when we talk to people in our sales process. It's been sord—“Are you just going to come in and tell us to buy savings plans or reserved instances?” Because the answer to that used to be, “No, that's ridiculous. That's not what we do.” But then we get into environments and find they haven't bought any of those things in 18 months.Everett: [laugh].Corey: —and it's well… okay, that's step two. Step one is what are you using you shouldn't be? Like, basically measure first then cut as opposed to going the other direction and then having to back your way into stuff. Doesn't go well.Everett: Yeah. One of the things that you were discussing last year that I thought was pretty interesting was the gp3 volumes that are now available for RDS and how those volumes, while they offer a nice discount and a nice bump in price-to-performance on EC2, actually don't offer any of that on RDS except for specific workloads. And so, I think that's the kind of thing where, as you're working with folks, as Vantage is working with people, the discussion ends up in these sort of nuanced niche areas, and that's why I think, like, these reports, hopefully, are helping people get a sense of, like, well, what's normal in my architecture or where am I sort of out of bounds? Oh, the fact that I'm spending most of my bill on NAT gateways and bandwidth egress? Well, that's not normal. That would be something that would be not typical of what your normal AWS user is doing.Corey: Right. There's always a question of, “Am I normal?” is one of the first things people love to ask. And it comes in different forms. But it's benchmarking. It's, okay, how much should it cost us to service a thousand monthly active users? It's like, there's no good way to say that across the board for everyone.Everett: Yeah. I like the model of getting into the actual unit costs. I have this sort of vision in my head of, you know, if I'm Uber and I'm reporting metrics to the public stock market, I'm actually reporting a cost to serve a rider, a cost to deliver an Uber Eats meal, in terms of my cloud spend. And that sort of data is just ridiculously hard to get to today. I think it's what we're working towards with Vantage and I think it's something that with these Cloud Cost Reports, we're hoping to get into over time, where we're actually helping companies think about well, okay, within my cloud spend, it's not just what I'm spending on these different services, there's also an idea of how much of my cost to deliver my service should be realized by my cloud spending.Corey: And then people have the uncomfortable realization that wait, my bill is less a function of number of customers I have but more the number of engineers I've hired. What's going on with that?Everett: [laugh]. Yeah, it is interesting to me just how many people end up being involved in this problem at the company. But to your earlier point, the cloud spending discussion has really ramped up over the past year. And I think, hopefully, we are going to be able to converge on a place where we are realizing the promise of the cloud, if you will, which is that it's actually cheaper. And I think what these reports show so far is, like, we've still got a long ways to go for that.Corey: One thing that I think is opportune about the timing of this recording is that as of last week, Amazon wound up announcing their earnings. And Andy Jassy has started getting on the earnings calls, which is how you know it's bad because the CEO of Amazon never deigned to show up on those things before. And he said that a lot of AWS employees are focused and spending their time on helping customers lower their AWS bills. And I'm listening to this going, “Oh, they must be talking to different customers than the ones that I'm talking to.” Are you seeing a lot of Amazonian involvement in reducing AWS bills? Because I'm not and I'm wondering where these people are hiding.Everett: So, we do see one thing, which is reps pushing savings plans on customers, which in general, is great. It's kind of good for everybody, it locks people into longer-term spend on Amazon, it gets them a lower rate, savings plans have some interesting functionality where they can be automatically applied to the area where they offer the most discount. And so, those things are all positive. I will say with Vantage, we're a cloud cost optimization company, of course, and so when folks talk to us, they often already have talked to their AWS rep. And the classic scenario is, that the rep passes over a large spreadsheet of options and ways to reduce costs, but for the company, that spreadsheet may end up being quite a ways away from the point where they actually realize cost savings.And ultimately, the people that are working on cloud cost optimization for Amazon are account reps who are comped by how much cloud spending their accounts are using on Amazon. And so, at the end of the day, some of the, I would say, most hard-hitting optimizations that you work on that we work on, end up hitting areas where they do actually reduce the bill which ends up being not in the account manager's favor. And so, it's a real chicken-and-egg game, except for savings plans is one area where I think everybody can kind of work together.Corey: I have found that… in fairness, there is some defense for Amazon in this but their cost-cutting approach has been rightsizing instances, buy some savings plans, and we are completely out of ideas. Wait, can you switch to Graviton and/or move to serverless? And I used to make fun of them for this but honestly that is some of the only advice that works across the board, irrespective in most cases, of what a customer is doing. Everything else is nuanced and it depends.That's why in some cases, I find that I'm advising customers to spend more money on certain things. Like, the reason that I don't charge percentage of savings in part is because otherwise I'm incentivized to say things like, “Backups? What are you, some kind of coward? Get rid of them.” And that doesn't seem like it's going to be in the customer's interest every time. And as soon as you start down that path, it starts getting a little weird.But people have asked me, what if my customers reach out to their account teams instead of talking to us? And it's, we do bespoke consulting engagements; I do not believe that we have ever had a client who did not first reach out to their account team. If the account teams were capable of doing this at the level that worked for customers, I would have to be doing something else with my business. It is not something that we are seeing hit customers in a way that is effective, and certainly not at scale. You said—as you were right on this—that there's an element here of account managers doing this stuff, there's an [unintelligible 00:15:54] incentive issue in part, but it's also, quality is extraordinarily uneven when it comes to these things because it is its own niche and a lot of people focus in different areas in different ways.Everett: Yeah. And to the areas that you brought up in terms of general advice that's given, we actually have some data on this in this report. In particular Graviton, this is something we've been tracking the whole time we've been doing these reports, which is the past three quarters and we actually are seeing Graviton adoption start to increase more rapidly than it was before. And so, for this last quarter Q1, we're seeing 5% of our costs that we're measuring on EC2 coming from Graviton, which is up from, I want to say 2% the previous quarter, and, like, less than 1% the quarter before. The previous quarter, we also reported that Lambda costs are now majority on ARM among the Vantage customer base.And that one makes some sense to me just because in most cases with Lambda, it's a flip of a switch. And then to your archival point on backups, this is something that we report in this one is that intelligent tiering, which we saw, like, really make an impact for folks towards the end of last year, the numbers for that were flat quarter over quarter. And so, what I mean by that is, we reported that I think, like, two-thirds of our S3 costs are still in the standard storage tier, which is the most expensive tier. And folks have enabled S3 intelligent tiering, which moves your data to progressively cheaper tiers, but we haven't seen that increase this quarter. So, it's the same number as it was last quarter.And I think speaks to what you're talking about with a ceiling on some cost optimization techniques, where it's like, you're not just going to get rid of all your backups; you're not just going to get rid of your, you know, Amazon WorkSpaces archived desktop snapshots that you need for some HIPAA compliance reason. Those things have an upper limit and so that's where, when the AWS rep comes in, it's like, as they go through the list of top spending categories, the recommendations they can give start to provide diminishing returns.Corey: I also think this is sort of a law of large numbers issue. When you start seeing a drop off in the growth rate of large cloud providers, like, there's a problem, in that there are only so many exabyte scale workloads that can be moved inside of a given quarter into the cloud. You're not going to see the same unbounded infinite growth that you would expect mathematically. And people lose their minds when they start to see those things pointed out, but the blame that oh, that's caused by cost optimization efforts, with respect, bullshit it is. I have seen customers devote significant efforts to reducing their AWS bills and it takes massive amounts of work and even then they don't always succeed in getting there.It gets better, but they still wind up a year later, having spent more on a month-by-month basis than they did when they started. Sure they understand it better and it's organic growth that's driving it and they've solved the low hanging fruit problem, but there is a challenge in acting as a boundary for what is, in effect, an unbounded growth problem.Everett: Yeah. And speaking to growth, I thought Microsoft had the most interesting take on where things could happen next quarter, and that, of course, is AI. And so, they attributed, I think it was, 1% of their guidance regarding 26 or 27% growth for Q2 Cloud revenue and it attributed 1% of that to AI. And I think Amazon is really trying to be in the room for those discussions when a large enterprise is talking about AI workloads because it's one of the few remaining cloud workloads that if it's not in the cloud already, is generating potentially massive amounts of growth for these guys.And so, I'm not really sure if I believe the 1% number. I think Microsoft may be having some fun with the fact that, of course, OpenAI is paying them for acting as a cloud provider for ChatGPT and further API, but I do think that AWS, although they were maybe a little slow to the game, they did, to their credit, launch a number of AI services that I'm excited to see if that contributes to the cost that we're measuring next quarter. We did measure, for the first time, a sudden increase on those new [Inf1 00:20:17] EC2 instances, which are optimized for machine learning. And I think if AWS can have success moving customers to those the way they have with Graviton, then that's going to be a very healthy area of growth for them.Corey: I'll also say that it's pretty clear to me that Amazon does not know what it's doing in its world of machine-learning-powered services. I use Azure for the [unintelligible 00:20:44] clients I built originally for Twitter, then for Mastodon—I'm sure Bluesky is coming—but the problem that I'm seeing there is across the board, start to finish, that there is no cohesive story from the AWS side of here's a picture tell me what's in it and if it's words, describe it to me. That's a single API call when we go to Azure. And the more that Amazon talks about something, I find, the less effective they're being in that space. And they will not stop talking about machine learning. Yes, they have instances that are powered by GPUs; that's awesome. But they're an infrastructure provider and moving up the stack is not in their DNA. But that's where all the interest and excitement and discussion is going to be increasingly in the AI space. Good luck.Everett: I think it might be something similar to what you've talked about before with all the options to run containers on AWS. I think they today have a bit of a grab bag of services and they may actually be looking forward to the fact that they're these truly foundational models which let you do a number of tasks, and so they may not need to rely so much on you know, Amazon Polly and Amazon Rekognition and sort of these task-specific services, which to date, I'm not really sure of the takeoff rates on those. We have this cloud costs leaderboard and I don't think you would find them in the top 50 of AWS services. But we'll see what happens with that.AWS I think, ends up being surprisingly good at sticking with it. I think our view is that they probably have the most customer spend on Kubernetes of any major cloud, even though you might say Google at first had the lead on Kubernetes and maybe should have done more with GKE. But to date, I would kind of agree with your take on AI services and I think Azure is… it's Azure's to lose for the moment.Corey: I would agree. I think the future of the cloud is largely Azure's to lose and it has been for a while, just because they get user experience, they get how to talk to enterprises. I just… I wish they would get security a little bit more effectively, and if failing that, communicating with their customers about security more effectively. But it's hard for a leopard to change its spots. Microsoft though has demonstrated an ability to change their nature multiple times, in ways that I would have bet were impossible. So, I just want to see them do it again. It's about time.Everett: Yeah, it's been interesting building on Azure for the past year or so. I wrote a post recently about, kind of, accessing billing data across the different providers and it's interesting in that every cloud provider is unique in the way that it simply provides an external endpoint for downloading your billing data, but Azure is probably one of the easiest integrations; it's just a REST API. However, behind that REST API are, like, years and years of different ways to pay Microsoft: are you on a pay-as-you-go plan, are you on an Azure enterprise plan? So, there's all this sort of organizational complexity hidden behind Azure and I think sometimes it rears its ugly head in a way that stringing together services on Amazon may not, even if that's still a bear in and of itself, if you will.Corey: Any other surprises that you found in the Cloud Cost Report? I mean, looking through it, it seems directionally aligned with what I see in my environments with customers. Like for example, you're not going to see Kubernetes showing up as a line item on any of these things just because—Everett: Yeah.Corey: That is indistinguishable from a billing perspective when we're looking at EC2 spend versus control plane spend. I don't tend to [find 00:24:04] too much that's shocking me. My numbers are of course, different percentage-wise, but surprise, surprise, different companies doing different things doing different percentages, I'm sure only AWS knows for sure.Everett: Yeah, I think the biggest surprise was just the—and, this could very well just be kind of measurement method, but I really expected to see AI services driving more costs, whether it was GPU instances, or AI-specific services—which we actually didn't report on at all, just because they weren't material—or just any indication that AI was a real driver of cloud spending. But I think what you see instead is sort of the same old folks at the top, and if you look at the breakdown of services across providers, that's, you know, compute, database, storage, bandwidth, monitoring. And if you look at our percentage of AI costs as a percentage of EC2 costs, it's relatively flat, quarter over quarter. So, I would have thought that would have shown up in some way in our data and we really didn't see it.Corey: It feels like there's a law of large numbers things. Everyone's talking about it. It's very hype right now—Everett: Yeah.Corey: But it's also—you talk to these companies, like, “Okay, we have four exabytes of data that we're storing and we have a couple 100,000 instances at any given point in time, so yeah, we're going to start spending $100,000 a month on our AI adventures and experiments.” It's like, that's just noise and froth in the bill, comparatively.Everett: Exactly, yeah. And so, that's why I think Microsoft's thought about AI driving a lot of growth in the coming quarters is, we'll see how that plays out, basically. The one other thing I would point to is—and this is probably not surprising, maybe, for you having been in the infrastructure world and seeing a lot of this, but for me, just seeing the length of time it takes companies to upgrade their instance cycles. We're clocking in at almost three years since the C6 series instances have been released and for just now seeing C6 and R6 start to edge above 10% of our compute usage. I actually wonder if that's just the stranglehold that Intel has on cloud computing workloads because it was only last year around re:Invent that the C6in and the Intel version of the C6 series instances had been released. So, I do think in general, there's supposed to be a price-to-performance benefit of upgrading your instances, and so sometimes it surprises me to see how long it takes companies to get around to doing that.Corey: Generation 6 to 7 is also 6% more expensive in my sampling.Everett: Right. That's right. I think Amazon has some work to do to actually make that price-to-performance argument, sort of the way that we were discussing with gp2 versus gp3 volumes. But yeah, I mean, other than that, I think, in general, my view is that we're past the worst of it, if you will, for cloud spending. Q4 was sort of a real letdown, I think, in terms of the data we had and the earnings that these cloud providers had and I think Q1 is actually everyone looking forward to perhaps what we call out at the beginning of the report, which is a return to normal spend patterns across the cloud.Corey: I think that it's going to be an interesting case. One thing that I'm seeing that might very well explain some of the reluctance to upgrade EC2 instances has been that a lot of those EC2 instances are databases. And once those things are up and running and working, people are hesitant to do too much with them. One of the [unintelligible 00:27:29] roads that I've seen of their savings plan approach is that you can migrate EC2 spend to Fargate to Lambda—and that's great—but not RDS. You're effectively leaving a giant pile of money on the table if you've made a three-year purchase commitment on these things. So, all right, we're not going to be in any rush to migrate to those things, which I think is AWS getting in its own way.Everett: That's exactly right. When we encounter customers that have a large amount of database spend, the most cost-effective option is almost always basically bare-metal EC2 even with the overhead of managing the backup-restore scalability of those things. So, in some ways, that's a good thing because it means that you can then take advantage of the, kind of, heavy committed use options on EC2, but of course, in other ways, it's a bit of a letdown because, in the ideal case, RDS would scale with the level of workloads and the economics would make more sense, but it seems that is really not the case.Corey: I really want to thank you for taking the time to come on the show and talk to me. I'll include a link in the [show notes 00:28:37] to the Cost Report. One thing I appreciate is the fact that it doesn't have one of those gates in front of it of, your email address, and what country you're in, and how can our salespeople best bother you. It's just, here's a link to the PDF. The end. So, thanks for that; it's appreciated. Where else can people go to find you?Everett: So, I'm on Twitter talking about cloud infrastructure and AI. I'm at@retttx, that's R-E-T-T-T-X. And then of course, Vantage also did quick hot-takes on this report with a series of graphs and explainers in a Twitter thread and that's @JoinVantage.Corey: And we will, of course, put links to that in the [show notes 00:29:15].

Recorded by Robert Miles: http://robertskmiles.com More information about the newsletter here: https://rohinshah.com/alignment-newsletter/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGGFXwKpr-TJ5HfxEFaFCg   HIGHLIGHTS Program Synthesis with Large Language Models (Jacob Austin, Augustus Odena et al) (summarized by Rohin): Can we use large language models to solve programming problems? In order to answer this question, this paper builds the Mostly Basic Python Programming (MBPP) dataset. The authors asked crowd workers to provide a short problem statement, a Python function that solves the problem, and three test cases checking correctness. On average across the 974 programs, the reference solution has 7 lines of code, suggesting the problems are fairly simple. (This is partly because you can use library functions.) They also edit a subset of 426 problems to improve their quality, for example by making the problem statement less ambiguous or making the function signature more normal. They evaluate pretrained language models on this dataset across a range of model sizes from 0.244B to 137B parameters. (This largest model is within a factor of 2 of GPT-3.) They consider both few-shot and finetuned models. Since we have test cases that can be evaluated automatically, we can boost performance by generating lots of samples (80 in this case), evaluating them on the test cases, and then keeping the ones that succeed. They count a problem as solved if any sample passes all the test cases, and report as their primary metric the fraction of problems solved according to this definition. Note however that the test cases are not exhaustive: when they wrote more exhaustive tests for 50 of the problems, they found that about 12% of the so-called “solutions” did not pass the new tests (but conversely, 88% did). They also look at the fraction of samples which solve the problem, as a metric of the reliability or confidence of the model for a given problem. Some of their findings: 1. Performance increases approximately log-linearly with model size. The trend is clearer and smoother by the primary metric (fraction of problems solved by at least one sample) compared to the secondary metric (fraction of samples that solve their problem). 2. Finetuning provides a roughly constant boost across model sizes. An exception: at the largest model size, finetuning provides almost no benefit, though this could just be noise. 3. It is important to provide at least one test case to the model (boosts problems solved from 43% to 55%) but after that additional test cases don't make much of a difference (an additional two examples per problem boosts performance to 59%). 4. In few-shot learning, the examples used in the prompt matter a lot. In a test of 15 randomly selected prompts for the few-shot 137B model, the worst one got ~1%, while the best one got ~59%, with the others distributed roughly uniformly between them. Ensembling all 15 prompts boosts performance to 66%. 5. In rare cases, the model overfits to the test cases. For example, in a question about checking whether the input is a Woodall number, there is only one test checking an actual Woodall number (383), and the model generates a program that simply checks whether the input is 383. 6. When choosing the best of multiple samples, you want a slightly higher temperature, in order to have more diversity of possible programs to check. 7. It is important to have high quality problem descriptions as input for the model. The 137B model solves 79% of problems in the edited dataset, but only solves 63% of the original (unedited) versions of those problems. The authors qualitatively analyze the edits on the problems that switched from unsolved to solved and find a variety of things that you would generally expect to help. Now for the controversial question everyone loves to talk about: does the model understand the meaning of the code, or is it “just learning statistical correlations”? One way to check this is to see whether the model can also execute code. Specifically, we provide the ground truth code for one of the problems in the MBPP dataset along with one of the test case inputs and ask the model to predict the output for that test case. Even after finetuning for this task, the 137B model gets only 21% right. This can be boosted to 27% by also providing example test cases for the code before predicting the output for a new test case. Overall, this suggests that the model doesn't “understand” the code yet. We can take the model finetuned for execution and see how well it does on program synthesis. (We can do this because there are different prompts for execution and synthesis.) For the 8B model, the finetuning makes basically no difference: it's equivalent to the original few-shot setting. However, for the 137B model, finetuning on execution actually leads to a small but non-trivial improvement in performance (from ~59% to ~63%, I think). This is true relative to either the few-shot or finetuned-for-synthesis setting, since they performed near-identically for the 137B model. So in fact the 137B model finetuned on execution is actually the strongest model, according to synthesis performance. So far we've just been looking at how our model performs when taking the best of multiple samples. However, if our goal is to actually use models for program synthesis, we aren't limited to such simple tricks. Another approach is to have a human provide feedback in natural language when the model's output is incorrect, and then have the model generate a new program. This feedback is very informal, for example, “Close, but you need to replace the underscore with an empty string”. This provides a huge performance boost: the 137B solves ~31% of problems on its first sample; adding just a single piece of human feedback per problem boosts performance to ~55%, and having four rounds of human feedback gets you to over 65%. The authors also introduce the MathQA-Python dataset, which provides arithmetic word problems and asks models to write programs that would output the correct answer to the problem. They only run a few experiments on this dataset, so I've mostly ignored it. The main upshot is that a finetuned 137B parameter model can solve 83.8% of problems with some sample. They don't report metrics with a single sample, which seems like the more relevant metric for this dataset, but eyeballing other graphs I think it would be around 45%, which you could probably boost a little bit by decreasing the sampling temperature. Rohin's opinion: I enjoyed this paper a lot; it feels like it gave me a good understanding of the programming abilities of large language models. I was most surprised by the result that, for the synthesis task, finetuning on execution helps but finetuning on synthesis doesn't help for the 137B model. It is possible that this is just noise, though that is more noise than I would expect for such an experiment. It could be that the finetuning dataset for synthesis was too small (it only contains 374 problems), but that dataset was sufficient for big gains on the smaller models, and I would expect that, if anything, larger models should be able to make better use of small finetuning datasets, not worse. It's also notable that, for the 137B model, the knowledge gained from finetuning on execution successfully transferred to improve synthesis performance. While I agree that the poor execution performance implies the model doesn't “understand” the code according to the normal usage of that term, it seems like this sort of transfer suggests a low but non-zero level on some quantitative scale of understanding. I also found the human feedback section quite cool. However, note that the human providing the feedback often needs to understand the generated code as well as the desired algorithm, so it is plausible that it would be easier for the human to simply fix the code themselves. Measuring Coding Challenge Competence With APPS (Dan Hendrycks, Steven Basart et al) (summarized by Rohin): The APPS dataset measures programming competence by testing models the way humans are tested: we provide them with natural language descriptions of the code to be written and then evaluate whether the code they generate successfully solves the problem by testing the proposed solutions. The authors collect a dataset of 3,639 introductory problems (solvable by humans with 1-2 years of experience), 5,000 interview problems (comparable difficulty to interview questions), and 1,361 competition problems (comparable difficulty to questions in programming competitions). In addition, the test set contains 1,000 introductory problems, 3,000 interview problems, and 1,000 competition problems. They use this benchmark to test four models: two variants of GPT-2 (0.1B params and 1.5B params), GPT-Neo (2.7B params), and GPT-3 (175B params). GPT-3 is prompted with examples; all other models are finetuned on a dataset collected from GitHub. The authors find that: 1. Finetuning makes a big difference in performance: GPT-3 only solves 0.2% of introductory problems, while the finetuned GPT-2-0.1B model solves 1% of such problems. 2. Model performance increases with size, as you would expect: GPT-Neo performs best, solving 3.9% of problems. 3. Syntax errors in generated code drop sharply as model performance improves: for introductory problems, GPT-3 has syntax errors in slightly under 40% of generations, while GPT-Neo has under 1%. 4. Performance can be improved by sampling the best of multiple generated programs: a beam search for 5 programs boosts GPT-Neo's performance from 3.9% to 5.5% on introductory problems. 5. While no model synthesizes a correct solution to a competition level program, they do sometimes generate solutions that pass some of the test cases: for example, GPT-Neo passes 6.5% of test cases. Rohin's opinion: While the previous paper focused on how we could make maximal use of existing models for program synthesis, this paper is much more focused on how we can measure the capabilities of models. This leads to quite a bit of difference in what they focus on: for example, the highlighted paper treats the strategy of generating multiple possible answers as a fundamental approach to study, while this paper considers it briefly in a single subsection. Although the introductory problems in the APPS dataset seemed to me to be comparable to those in the MBPP dataset from the previous paper, models do significantly better on MBPP. A model slightly smaller than GPT-3 has a ~17% chance of solving a random MBPP problem in a single sample and ~10% if it is not given any example test cases; in contrast for introductory APPS problems GPT-3 is at 0.2%. I'm not sure whether this is because the introductory problems in APPS are harder, or if the format of the APPS problems is harder for the model to work with, or if this paper didn't do the prompt tuning that the previous paper found was crucial, or something else entirely.   TECHNICAL AI ALIGNMENT AGENT FOUNDATIONS Grokking the Intentional Stance (Jack Koch) (summarized by Rohin): This post describes takeaways from The Intentional Stance by Daniel Dennett for the concept of agency. The key idea is that whether or not some system is an “agent” depends on who is observing it: for example, humans may not look like agents to superintelligent Martians who can predict our every move through a detailed understanding of the laws of physics. A system is an agent relative to an observer if the observer's best model of the system (i.e. the one that is most predictive) is one in which the system has “goals” and “beliefs”. Thus, with AI systems, we should not ask whether an AI system “is” an agent; instead we should ask whether the AI system's behavior is reliably predictable by the intentional stance. How is the idea that agency only arises relative to some observer compatible with our view of ourselves as agents? This can be understood as one “part” of our cognition modeling “ourselves” using the intentional stance. Indeed, a system usually cannot model itself in full fidelity, and so it makes a lot of sense that an intentional stance would be used to make an approximate model instead. Read more: The ground of optimization (AN #105) Rohin's opinion: I generally agree with the notion that whether or not something feels like an “agent” depends primarily on whether or not we model it using the intentional stance, which is primarily a statement about our understanding of the system. (For example, I expect programmers are much less likely to anthropomorphize a laptop than laypeople, because they understand the mechanistic workings of laptops better.) However, I think we do need an additional ingredient in AI risk arguments, because such arguments make claims about how an AI system will behave in novel circumstances that we've never seen before. To justify that claim, we need to have an argument that can predict how the agent behaves in new situations; it doesn't seem like the intentional stance can give us that information by itself.

Everything carries over, except for one direction of the fundamental theorem. (The author suspects that direction is true, but was unable to prove it.) FIELD BUILDING List of AI safety courses and resources (Kat Woods) (summarized by Rohin): Exactly what it says in the title. MISCELLANEOUS (ALIGNMENT) Evaluating CLIP: Towards Characterization of Broader Capabilities and Downstream Implications (Sandhini Agarwal et al) (summarized by Zach): There has been significant progress in zero-shot image classification with models such as CLIP and ALIGN. These models work by effectively learning visual concepts from natural language supervision. Such models make it possible to build classifiers without task-specific data, which is useful in scenarios where data is either costly or unavailable. However, this capability introduces the potential for bias. This paper is an exploratory bias probe of the CLIP model that finds class design heavily influences model performance. The first set of experiments focusses on classification terms that have a high potential to cause representational harm. In one example, the authors conduct experiments on the FairFace dataset by adding classification labels such as 'animal' and 'criminal' to the list of possible classes. They find that black people and young people (under 20) were misclassified at significantly higher rates (14%) compared to the dataset as a whole (5%). This shows that the choice of labels affects classification outcomes. In a follow-up experiment, the authors add the additional label 'child' and find that this drastically reduces classification into crime-related and non-human categories. This shows sensitivity to minor changes in class design. In the second set of experiments, the authors focus on how CLIP treated images of men and women using images of Members of Congress. Although CLIP wasn't designed for multi-label classification, it's still informative to look at the label distribution above a certain cutoff. When occupations are used as the label set, the authors find that thresholds under 0.5% return 'nanny' and 'housekeeper' for women and 'prisoner' and 'mobster' for men. When labels come from the combined set that Google Cloud Vision, Amazon Rekognition and Microsoft use for all images, the authors find that CLIP returns a disproportionate number of appearance-related labels to women. Zach's opinion: It's tempting to write off such experiments as obvious since it's clear that class design affects classification results. However, upon further consideration, specifying how to address such problems seems significantly more challenging. I think this paper does a good job of pointing out the relative nuance in how class design and bias interact in fairly realistic use cases.   NEWS Research Scientist, Long-term Strategy & Governance (summarized by Rohin): DeepMind (my employer) is hiring for several Research Scientist positions on the Long-term Strategy and Governance Team, across a wide range of backgrounds and skills.

This week on The Cloud Pod, Ryan is stuck somewhere in a tent under a broken-down motorcycle but is apparently still having fun.         A big thanks to this week's sponsors: Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. This week's highlights Amazon went back to school to become a detective. Google was voted prom queen at the virtual homecoming. Oracle shocks everyone with its new look. General News: Great Partners Hashicorp has partnered with AWS to launch support for predictive scaling policy in the Terraform AWS provider. This will be hugely popular for people new to the cloud.     Amazon Web Services: Dropping Stories For No Reason AWS Lambda Extensions are now generally available with new performance improvements. This has pretty limited regional availability, though.    Amazon releases the AWS Shield threat landscape 2020 year in review. One of our favourite blogs. AWS EKS Add-Ons now supports CoreDNS and kube-proxy. This is neat! Introducing the AWS Application Cost Profiler — there have been a few complaints about this on Twitter. AWS Compute Optimizer launches updates to its EC2 instance type recommendations. This is awesome. AWS Outposts launches support for EC2 Capacity Reservations. Being able to use the same tool regardless of where you are is a good thing!   An AWS Region in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is in the works. Great!       Google Cloud Platform: Prom Queen 2021 Google VM Manager with OS configuration management is now in Preview. This is basically patch and agent management.   Forrester names Google Cloud a leader in Unstructured Data Security Platforms. Good job, Google! Google has released a better way to manage firewall rules with Firewall Insights. We just want a firewall manager that does everything for us.  Google announces new BigQuery user-friendly SQL launches. Thanks but no thanks.  Azure: Selling No-Code To Developers Azure gains 100th compliance offering — protecting data with EU Cloud Code of Conduct. Now we know why France was so happy last week. Azure announces preview capabilities of Azure Application Services to run on K8 anywhere. We're really surprised by how quickly the cloud providers have embraced hybrid infrastructure.  Azure releases several new features to empower developers to innovate with Azure Database services. We need to bring the tumbleweed sound effect back.  Accenture, GitHub, Microsoft and ThoughtWorks launch the Green Software Foundation with the Linux Foundation. So they're anti-Bitcoin mining? Microsoft uses GPT-3 to add AI features to Power Apps. For developers who don't code.  Microsoft's new research lab studies developer productivity and well-being. We'll see what happens.    Oracle: One We're Actually Excited About Introducing Arm on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The free tier is amazing! TCP Lightning Round Justin really appreciates Jonathan for handing him an easy win and takes this week's point, leaving scores at Justin (9), Ryan (4), Jonathan (7).  Other headlines mentioned: Amazon Forecast now supports generating predictions for 5X more items using 3X more historic data points Amazon Elastic File System now supports longer resource identifiers AWS X-Ray now supports VPC endpoints Announcing enhancements to Amazon Rekognition text detection — support for more words, higher accuracy and lower latency Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights now supports container monitoring Customizations for AWS Control Tower v2.1 adds more scaling optimizations and improves compatibility with AWS CodeBuild Amazon EventBridge now supports sharing events between event buses in the same account and Region Amazon SageMaker Pipelines is now integrated with Amazon SageMaker Experiments Amazon Braket introduces quantum circuit noise simulator, DM1  AWS Transfer Family now supports Microsoft Active Directory Amazon EMR now supports Amazon EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is now generally available Public preview: Azure Confidential Ledger  Google now allows you to Test Dataflow pipelines with the Cloud Spanner emulator  Things Coming Up Announcing Google Cloud 2021 Summits [frequently updated] Harness Unscripted Conference — June 16–17 Google Cloud Next — Not announced yet (one site says Moscone is reserved June 28–30) Amazon re:Inforce — August 24-25 — Houston TX Google Cloud Next 2021 — October 12–14, 2021 AWS re:Invent — November 29–December 3 — Las Vegas

If you want to protect your business with the vitality of a ‘Day One’ mentality, Roland unpacks Jeff Bezos’s approach and tactics in this two-part series. Make sure you listen to episode 131 first. Before we get stuck in, if you’re interested in actually working closer with Roland, listen to the end of the episode for his invitation to his upcoming Intensive on March 16-17. Nobody teaches what Roland is teaching at this workshop (Leverage, Exit, Grow, & Scale)!  It’s a small, limited group - so act quickly. A Recap From Part One “You must always be aware that someone else is standing in the wings to out-serve, out-innovate, and out-invent your business into oblivion.” Mark Cuban. Over the years, Bezos has done a pretty amazing job of leading with and instilling a “Day One” strategy at Amazon. Here's why Roland agrees that this strategy is critical: “Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance, followed by an excruciating painful decline, followed by death… an established company might harvest Day 2 for decades, but the final result would still come”. Jeff Bezos Businesses forget the enthusiasm and stagnate on Innovation. They focus on policies, processes, and systems to create SOPs. Or, they focus on producing the product or providing the service they first offered. They are ignorant of (or forget) how consumer needs and preferences have changed and are changing. The Enthusiasm of ‘Day One’ is forgotten. Bezos offers a ‘starter pack’ of 4 specific tactics for Day One Defense (and Roland added one of his own)…  Tactic #1, Customer Obsession (Listen back to Part One) Tactic #2, View Your Proxys Skeptically! (Listen back to Part One) Day One Mentality Defense Tactic #3: The Eager Adoption of External Trends If you follow Roland, then you know that he talks about this often (listen to episode 125). As it turns out, it’s clear that Jeff Bezos is on the exact same wavelength. “The outside world can push you into day two if you won’t or can’t embrace powerful trends quickly. If you fight them, you’re probably fighting the future. Embrace them, and you have a tailwind”. Jeff Bezos. What is Bezos betting on right now? He sites Machine learning in AI. You don’t need a staff of Ph.D.’s or a huge investment in equipment to tap into machine learning trends. Through Amazon Web Services, consider looking into LEX, POLY, and Amazon Rekognition.  “Machine Learning AI is here. Ignore them at your peril. Your competitors are not going to be ignoring them”. Roland Frasier. Day One Mentality Defense Tactic #4: High-Velocity Decision Making “One of the most important factors in business success is the ability to act quickly. Make quality decisions and implement them quickly”. Roland Frasier How do you do this without making half-informed decisions? 1. Reversibility If a decision is easily reversible, go forward with much less analysis, if it feels right.  2. 70% Rule Bezos follows the same process as Former United States National Security Advisor Colin Powell: The best time to make a decision is when you have 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait until you have 90% of the information, you’re going to be too slow. If you make a decision on 40% of the information, you’re going to be wrong or too slow.  3. Disagree and commit.  Don’t just disagree with your team and override their opinions when they want to make a decision that you don’t like. Instead, disagree, but trust the people that you hired to make those decisions, and let them know that though you disagree, you’re committed to supporting it and following through. If you don’t, you will get bogged down with politics and pros and cons that will ultimately rob your company of its ability to move fast (and then you become a Day 2 company, very fast). 4 Repair mis-alignments. Be sure that there is alignment among your various teams and ensure that their objectives and views are all working toward the same desired outcomes.  Day One Mentality Defense Tactic #5: Patience To Play The Long Game Roland recently did a mini-series on “The Long and the Short of it.” This excellent series is worth going back and listening to. Wallstreet was impatient with Jeff Bezos, but it’s clear that it was worth the wait! Some things can only be realized over time. “You will rarely succeed at business if you only focus on the short term quick win. Business is a game to be played with an eye to the long term”.

Leading global tech analysts Patrick Moorhead (Moor Insights & Strategy) and Daniel Newman (Futurum Research) are front and center on The Six Five analyzing the tech industry's biggest news each and every week and also conducting interviews with tech industry "insiders" on a regular basis.    The Six Five represents six (6) handpicked topics that will be covered for five (5) minutes each.   Welcome to this week’s edition of “The 6-5.” I’m Patrick Moorhead with Moor Insights & Strategy, co-host, joined by Daniel Newman with Futurum Research. On this week’s show we will be talking:   AWS Rekognition Updates   https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/08/amazon-rekognition-now-detects-violence-weapons-and-self-injury-in-images-and-videos-improves-accuracy-for-nudity-detection/ Amazon Rekognition now detects violence, weapons, and self-injury in images and videos; improves accuracy for nudity detection   Gamescom and Ray Tracing   https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-rtx-on-new-wave-of-blockbuster-games-showcase-ray-tracing-at-gamescom   Cerebras Disclosure at HotChips   https://www.forbes.com/sites/moorinsights/2019/08/19/cerebras-unveils-ai-supercomputer-on-a-chip/#38cc651a2fe8 1.2T transistors, 46K mm2 size, 18GB SRAM, 9PB mem BW, 100Pb fabric, TSMC 16nm, 300mm eager, mid 2020 server ship   iPhone 11 Rumors?   https://futurumresearch.com/the-iphone-11-is-coming-yawn/   NetAPP? Are they F'ed and Oracle Pillar Data implosion   https://seekingalpha.com/article/4286671-netapp-irreversibly-damaged They have no real HCI. No servers... Connection between Storage and Servers is huge. They have no VMware. We'll keep pounding away at them!  MIS Steve McDowell: A day after NetApp released its earnings this week, it announced the retirement of a couple of key executives. Key among them is Joel Reich, who led NetApp through the rise and fall of its transition to flash storage as head of storage and software. Replacing Joel is (now EVP) Brad Anderson who has been at the forefront of NetApp’s cloud activities. This is truly NetApp putting its money where its mouth is, as it consolidates product control under the executive most aligned with its cloud strategy — its stated path our of its current morass. No pressure, Brad.  Did you know that Oracle has a Flash Storage Division? Alternatively, more accurately, did have a flash storage division? Pillar Data, acquired by Oracle back in 2011, was quietly shut down this week. No formal announcements, and little press coverage, as what is reportedly over 400 of Pillar’s employees were dismissed via a conference call, with only about a dozen left to manage the detritus left in its wake.    Lenovo Earnings https://futurumresearch.com/lenovo-quietly-plows-forward-and-delivers-strong-fiscal-q1-results/   Alright...let’s get started.   Disclaimer: This show is for information and entertainment purposes only.

Detalles del nuevo sistema de Amazon Rekognition, Instagram updates y Netflix 2018, y más en el segmento de tecnología de La Nueva 94 / El Despelote --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/juancpedreira/support

In this session. We will provide an overview of the latest Amazon Rekognition features including real-time face recognition, Text in Image recognition, and improved face detection. Amazon Rekognition recently added three new features: detection and recognition of text in images; real-time face recognition across tens of millions of faces; and detection of up to 100 faces in challenging crowded photos. In this session, we will cover features, benefits and use cases for these latest Rekognition features, while highlighting customer examples and a brief demo showcasing Amazon Rekognition.  

Motion detection triggers have reduced the amount of video recorded by modern devices. But maybe you want to reduce that further—maybe you only care if a car or a person is on-camera before recording or sending a notification. Security cameras and smart doorbells can use Amazon Rekognition to reduce the number of false alarms. Learn how device makers and home enthusiasts are building their own smart layers of person and car detection to reduce false alarms and limit video volume. Learn too how you can use face detection and recognition to notify you when a friend has arrived.

In this session, we take a pragmatic approach to enhancing common media workflows built around ingest, media asset management, live video, and OTT on-demand streaming. We show how to extract metadata as an additional intelligence layer for video using Amazon AI services, such as Amazon Rekognition, in combination with turnkey architecture built around AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS, and Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. The capabilities offered by Amazon AI services provide a unique opportunity to eliminate the traditional undifferentiated heavy lifting associated with contextual, facial recognition and object-based media metadata creation—that is, who is in with what, and where. We also discuss a large studio and broadcaster just starting to use these intelligent offerings from AWS as they change their method of how to best leverage the business value of their content.

With more companies entering the OTT market, AWS sees customer demand for ways to decrease the time it takes to get content into their users' hands, while increasing operational efficiency and lowering IT infrastructure costs. Using deep learning-based image analysis can provide users actionable feedback about the content they view. When combining a new serverless architecture approach using Amazon Elastic Transcoder with AWS' deep learning technology Amazon Rekognition, companies can provide near real-time, on-demand encoding of assets and content moderation. This session covers serverless versus virtualized infrastructure, handling encoding jobs with AWS Lambda, encoding dynamic media assets with Elastic Transcoder (or Elemental), moderating content with Amazon Rekognition, and storing metadata with Amazon DynamoDB. We also provide a demo to test a production-ready serverless encoding architecture.

Learn how to build powerful backends without managing servers by using MongoDB Stitch. Stitch is a backend-as-a-service that lets developers perform CRUD operations directly against their database with a REST API, declaratively specify field-level security on their data, and compose server-side logic and external services with hosted functions. We provide four live coding demonstrations of Stitch in action. First, we demonstrate querying and inserting data into Stitch by adding comment capability to a static blog. Second, we demonstrate the power of Stitch's declarative ACL rules in the context of a medical records application. Third, we show services integration using Amazon S3 and Amazon Rekognition. Finally, we put it all together with an IoT-powered two-factor door security system, demonstrating how Stitch orchestrates a complex architecture of devices, logic, and services. Session sponsored by MongoDB

Companies can have large amounts of image and video content in storage with little or no insight about what they have—effectively sitting on an untapped licensing and advertising goldmine. Learn how media companies are using Amazon Rekognition APIs for object or scene detection, facial analysis, facial recognition, or celebrity recognition to automatically generate metadata for images to provide new licensing and advertising revenue opportunities. Understand how to use Amazon Rekognition APIs to index faces into a collection at high scale, filter frames from a video source for processing, perform face matches that populate a person index in ElasticSearch, and use the Amazon Rekognition celebrity match feature to optimize the process for faster time to market and more accurate results. 

Join us for a deep dive on how to use Amazon Rekognition for real world image analysis. Learn how to integrate Amazon Rekognition with other AWS services to make your image libraries searchable. Also learn how to verify user identities by comparing their live image with a reference image, and estimate the satisfaction and sentiment of your customers. We also share best practices around fine-tuning and optimizing your Amazon Rekognition usage and refer to AWS CloudFormation templates.

In this session, we dive into design paradigms and architectures that allow you to leverage the power of AWS AI services and Analytics to build intelligent AI systems. Going back to 2001, Washington County jail management system has archived hundred thousands of mugshots and by using Amazon Rekognition and other AWS services, they were able to build a powerful tool for identifying suspects.

Join Dr Pete and Russ in the latest episode of AWS TechChat as they share security best practices and news around Amazon Rekognition, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon ECS, AWS Greengrass, Amazon SQS, AWS CodeStar, AWS Lambda, AWS X-Ray, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon EMR and AWS Deep Learning AMIs.

Join Dr. Pete and Russ in another episode of AWS TechChat as they discuss the latest AWS announcements and updates around AWS CodeStar, Amazon Redshift, Amazon EC2, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Database Migration, AWS X-Ray, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Polly, Amazon Lex, Amazon Mobile Hub Integration, AWS Lambda, AWS Marketplace and Simplified Pricing API.

This session will introduce you to Amazon Rekognition, a new service that makes it easy to add image analysis to your applications. With Rekognition, you can detect objects, scenes, and faces in images. You can also search and compare faces. Rekognition’s API lets you easily build powerful visual search and discovery into your applications. With Amazon Rekognition, you only pay for the images you analyze and the face metadata you store. There are no minimum fees and there are no upfront commitments.

...Eventually, someone has to clean up the leftover pizza. ...That sweet OpEx. ..."Easy to stay." Amazon came out with a slew of features last week.

I couldn't read it all! So, what's the role of Lambda here? It seems like the universal process thingy - like AppleScript, bash scripts, etc. for each part: if you need/want to add some customization to each thing, put a Lambda on it. What's the argument against just going full Amazon, in the same way you'd go full .Net, etc.? Is it cost? Lockin? Performance (people always talk about Amazon being kind of flakey at times - but what isn't flakey, your in-house run IT? Come on.) BONUS LINKS! Not covered in episode. Docker for AWS "EC2 Container Service, Elastic Beanstalk, and Docker for AWS all cost nothing; the only costs are those incurred by using AWS resources like EC2 or EBS." (http://www.infoworld.com/article/3145696/application-development/docker-for-aws-whos-it-really-for.html) Docker gets paid on usage?
