⚡ Key Takeaways

  • SageMaker training plans now reserve p-family GPUs exclusively for inference endpoints, slashing deployment delays.
  • Expect 30-50% cost savings on time-bound workloads vs. on-demand peaks.
  • This mirrors EC2 reserved instances' impact—poised to boost AWS enterprise AI retention.
