We are pleased to announce general availability of Amazon EC2 P5.4xl instances on SageMaker notebook instances. Amazon EC2 P5.4xl instances are powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and deliver high performance in Amazon EC2 for deep learning (DL) and high performance computing (HPC) applications. They help you accelerate your time to solution by up to 4x compared to previous-generation GPU-based EC2 instances, and reduce cost to train ML models by up to 40%. Customers can use P5 instances for training and deploying complex large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models powering generativ
