AWS SageMaker is transforming into a combined data and AI hub
- Today at its annual huge conference re:Invent 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the next generation of its cloud-based machine learning (ML) development platform SageMaker.
- AWS transformed it into a unified hub that allows enterprises to bring together data assets-spanning across different data lakes and sources in lakehouse architecture-interconnected with AWS ecosystem analytics and formerly disparate ML tools.
- The platform's integrated development environment, SageMaker Studio, gives teams a single, web-based visual interface to perform all machine learning development steps, right from data preparation, model building, training, tuning, and deployment.
- The company upgraded SageMaker with two key capabilities: Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse and Unified Studio.
- Lakehouse offering provides unified access to all the data stored in the data lakes built on top of Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Redshift data warehouses and other federated data sources, making it easily queryable regardless of where the information is originally stored.
- SageMaker Unified Studio acts as a unified environment that strings together all existing AI and analytics capabilities from Amazon's standalone studios, query editors, and visual tools.
- Users can even pull up Amazon Q Developer assistant and ask it to handle tasks like data integration, discovery, coding or SQL generation — in the same environment.
- SageMaker Lakehouse is compatible with Apache Iceberg, meaning it will also work with familiar AI and ML tools and query engines.
- The new SageMaker is available for AWS customers starting today.
- Companies like Roche and Natwast Group will be among the first users of the new capabilities.

Is the MBA degree worth the investment?
- The MBA is no longer the unassailable symbol of success it once was, as it may have outlived its prime and lost its worth in today’s professional landscape.
- Rising costs, diminishing returns, and a rapidly changing job market are forcing students to question the worth of this degree.
- The pursuit of an MBA is relentless, yet the return on investment (ROI) is increasingly underwhelming.
- Graduates often emerge with over $150,000 in tuition debts, which can take decades to repay.
- The MBA no longer carries the distinction it once did in a saturated job market teeming with MBA holders.
- Traditional MBA-friendly industries such as consulting and finance, are now offering fewer career opportunities and stagnant salaries.
- Modern industries such as artificial intelligence, digital marketing, and data science require practical expertise, which the MBA struggles to provide.
- Professionals are turning to alternative forms of education such as online platforms, boot camps, and certifications.
- An MBA cannot guarantee success. Career progression depends on individual traits such as resilience, adaptability, and networking skills.
- For some, the MBA is still a worthwhile investment, particularly for those targeting careers in finance, consulting, or corporate leadership, but for others, alternative education and hands-on experience often provide a faster, cheaper, and more effective route.

What AI vendor should you choose? Here are the top 7 (OpenAI still leads)
- IT analyst firm GAI Insights offers the first known buyer’s guide to large language models (LLMs) and GAI, reviewing 29 vendors across common enterprise GAI use cases and identifying seven emerging leaders.
- OpenAI is still leading the pack as the industry is "splintering into sub-categories."
- The six other vendors identified by GAI are Deepset, Glean, IBM, LangChain, LlamaIndex and SambaNova.
- Vendors were rated based on various factors, including product and service innovation, quality of technical and management team experience, track record in launching products and partnerships, and defined target buyers.
- Nvidia continues to dominate the market share with 85% share, and will continue to offer products up and down the hardware and software stack.
- GAI Insights projects that Gen AI is the leading budget priority for CIOs and CTOs amidst a 240x drop in the cost of AI computation in the last 18 months, and expects 33% of companies to push models into production in 2025.
- The firm also noted a current trend toward proprietary large language models, as enterprises prioritize data privacy, control, and regulatory compliance. However, GAI Insights anticipates a boom in vertical-specific small language models emerging for specific use cases.
- The top use cases for Gen AI include customer support, summarization, text generation, coding, and contract management.
- AI agents have yet to be fully defined and those in deployment are confined to internal applications and small-scale deployments. GAI Insights noted many hurdles to overcome including, among others, unregulated spread, agentic AI making unreliable or questionable decisions.
- GAI Insights advises that, to get started with AI initiatives, enterprises should accept that the enterprise IT stack will continue to change drastically over the next 15 years and designate an executive to oversee integration, develop a center of excellence and coordinate projects.
