AI digest

AssemblyAI runs its GPU-heavy speech-to-text inference on Amazon ECS using a mix of EC2 Spot and On-Demand Instances, spanning the g4dn, g5 and g6 GPU families in US West (Oregon) and Europe (London). To keep service commitments when Spot capacity is reclaimed, an Amazon SQS-based retry mechanism returns interrupted jobs to the queue through an EventBridge-triggered Lambda handler. According to the AWS Machine Learning Blog, this setup preserves SLA commitments while lowering costs.
