AWS introduced P6-B200 instances in the US East (N. Virginia) region for SageMaker Studio notebooks, featuring 8 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with high bandwidth memory and fifth-generation Intel Xeon processors. These instances support interactive development and fine-tuning of large models, including large language and mixture of experts models.
Compared to P5en instances, P6-B200 provides up to 2x better AI training performance, enabling efficient experimentation with foundation models and generative AI tasks such as content generation across multiple modalities within integrated development environments like JupyterLab.
