Bring deep SageMaker AI expertise to your coding agent with the AWS AI/ML skill in the Agent Toolkit for AWS
UpdateyesterdayUnverifiedAdded Oct 14, 2026
Your coding agent can select, train, optimize and deploy models on Amazon SageMaker AI while working across the rest of your AWS environment in a single natural-language workflow. The AWS AI/ML skill is now a core skill in the Agent Toolkit for AWS , so it works alongside the toolkit's other AWS skills like EC2, Bedrock, and more.

Also shipped on Oct 13, 2026
AWS in October 2026What's included:
- Three training methods: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) , direct preference optimization (DPO) , and reinforcement learning with group relative policy optimization (GRPO) . Each method trains a low-rank adapter (LoRA) or the full model weights. Custom loss functions : Train with any objective you compute in PyTorch from the model's log-probabilities.
