A former AWS SageMaker product manager shares an in-depth analysis of the AI and machine learning releases from re:Invent 2021. The review uses a simple framework that categorizes ML products into applied AI services, MLOps platforms, and ML frameworks to help the data science community understand the rapid flow of new announcements.

The author observes that AWS SageMaker spans across all three layers of this framework, attempting to act as a comprehensive solution for enterprise needs. However, while this broad positioning scores well on analyst reports, it remains heavily debated among technology executives regarding its actual efficacy compared to teams gluing their own custom tools together.

At this year's event, SageMaker blurs the lines between MLOps platforms and AI services while shipping new deep learning tools at the framework level. The platform shows a heavy and unprecedented emphasis on deep learning capabilities, highlighted by a direct product collaboration with the open-source startup Hugging Face for training and inference.
