What problem does it solve? Customizing and deploying foundation models on AWS involves many decisions — choosing a base model, picking a fine-tuning technique, validating datasets, running training jobs, evaluating quality, and deploying to endpoints. This Skill guides you through the entire SageMaker model customization lifecycle with validated workflows, so you avoid misconfigured training jobs, incompatible datasets, and failed deployments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Model Selection & Planning: Discover available models in SageMaker Hub, define use case specifications, and generate a step-by-step project plan (fine-tuning, evaluate-first, or deploy-base-model paths). - Fine-Tuning & Dataset Workflows: Generate training code for SFT, DPO, RLVR, and RLAIF techniques, validate dataset formats, and transform datasets into required JSONL schemas. - Evaluation, Deployment & Diagnostics: Evaluate models with LLM-as-Judge or Custom Scorers, deploy to SageMaker endpoints or Bedrock, manage SageMaker Managed MLflow apps, and diagnose endpoint failures with CloudWatch metrics and container logs. - Use Case: You want to fine-tune a Llama model on your customer support data. The Skill helps you define the use case, select the model, validate your dataset, generate the SFT training code, evaluate the result, and deploy it to a SageMaker endpoint. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you fine-tune or deploy a model on Amazon SageMaker, describing your use case and whether you already have a dataset or trained model.
