Presentamos Azure AI Foundry Labs: Un centro para las últimas investigaciones y experimentos de IA en Microsoft

Por Asha Sharma, vicepresidenta corporativa de la plataforma de IA; Ashley Llorens, vicepresidenta corporativa y directora general de Microsoft Research.

Hoy lanzamos Azure AI Foundry Labs, un centro para que desarrolladores, startups y empresas exploren innovaciones revolucionarias de la investigación de Microsoft. Foundry Labs une la investigación de vanguardia con las aplicaciones del mundo real, para permitir que los desarrolladores y creadores de todas las industrias descubran nuevas posibilidades, resuelvan problemas complejos y compartan conocimientos para dar forma al futuro de la IA.

Exploren Azure AI Foundry Labs ahora

El último avance en IA de Microsoft, Muse, el primer modelo de acción mundial y humana (WHAM, por sus siglas en inglés), disponible hoy en Azure AI Foundry, es el último ejemplo de cómo llevar la innovación de investigación de vanguardia a nuestra plataforma de IA para que los clientes la utilicen.

Con Azure AI Foundry Labs, nos complace presentar nuevos activos para nuestros últimos proyectos basados en la investigación que permiten a los desarrolladores explorar, participar y experimentar. Los proyectos a través de modelos y marcos agenticos incluyen:

  • Aurora: Un modelo atmosférico a gran escala que proporciona pronósticos meteorológicos de alta resolución y predicciones de contaminación del aire, lo que supera a las herramientas tradicionales.
  • ExACT: Un proyecto de código abierto que permite a los agentes aprender de las interacciones pasadas y mejorar la eficiencia de la búsqueda de forma dinámica.
  • Magentic-One: Un sistema multiagente que resuelve problemas complejos mediante la orquestación de múltiples agentes, construido sobre el marco AutoGen.
  • MatterSim: Un modelo de aprendizaje profundo para simulaciones atomísticas, que predice las propiedades de los materiales con alta precisión.
  • OmniParser v2: Un módulo basado en visión que convierte las capturas de pantalla de la interfaz de usuario en elementos estructurados, lo que mejora la generación de acciones de los agentes.
  • TamGen: Un modelo de IA generativa para el diseño de fármacos, que utiliza un modelo de lenguaje químico similar a GPT para la generación y el refinamiento de moléculas conscientes de objetivos.

Antes versus ahora

En los primeros días de la tecnología de sistemas de posicionamiento global (GPS, por sus siglas en inglés), se tardó cerca de una década para que el GPS pasara de ser un instrumento especializado de grado militar al uso cotidiano del consumidor. Lo que comenzó como una innovación de nicho en la década de 1970 no se convirtió en una verdadera corriente principal hasta finales de la década de 1990 y principios de la década de 2000, cuando los receptores GPS se convirtieron en características estándar en automóviles, teléfonos celulares y dispositivos portátiles. Diez años puede parecer una curva de adopción razonable, hasta que se observa la rapidez con la que se mueven las innovaciones en la IA hoy en día.

En los últimos años, el ritmo de avance de la IA se ha acelerado de manera importante. Hemos sido testigos de un cambio de presentar un nuevo modelo cada 4-6 meses a lanzar avances revolucionarios cada 4-6 días. La cantidad de cómputo utilizada para entrenar modelos de IA se ha multiplicado por 10 cada 12 meses, lo que ha impulsado tanto la investigación como la comercialización. Y el tiempo de creación del producto, desde la investigación fundamental hasta la implementación del producto a gran escala, ha pasado de años a meses.

A esta velocidad, las ideas y los prototipos deben iterarse, validarse e implementarse más rápido que nunca. Esta rápida evolución exige una nueva forma de pensar en la forma en que unimos la investigación y la aplicación.

Acelerar la investigación para generar impacto

Azure AI Foundry Labs destaca la colaboración a largo plazo entre los equipos de investigación e ingeniería de Microsoft y proporciona un único punto de acceso para que los desarrolladores y la comunidad de IA en general experimenten con nuevos modelos, exploren los marcos más recientes y estén a la vanguardia de la innovación. Los desarrolladores pueden crear prototipos mediante la investigación experimental de Azure AI Foundry Labs, colaborar con investigadores y equipos de ingeniería mediante el intercambio de comentarios y ayudar a acelerar el tiempo de comercialización de algunas de las tecnologías más prometedoras.

El próximo capítulo

La brecha entre el avance y el impacto nunca ha sido tan pequeña. Lo que antes tardaba años, ahora tarda semanas, y lo que antes se limitaba a los laboratorios de investigación ahora funciona con dispositivos en nuestros bolsillos. Azure AI Foundry Labs existe para reducir aún más esta brecha, para garantizar que cada avance en la investigación de IA llegue a los desarrolladores, creadores e innovadores que pueden transformarlo en un impacto en el mundo real.

No se trata solo de compartir la investigación, sino de acelerar el ciclo de la innovación en sí. Tanto si son desarrolladores, investigadores, fundadores de una startup o creadores de empresas, Azure AI Foundry Labs les ofrece acceso directo a la vanguardia del avance de la IA. Las herramientas y modelos disponibles hoy en día son solo el comienzo.

Visiten Azure AI Foundry Labs para empezar a construir el futuro.

AWS WAF enhances integration with Service Quotas

AWS WAF enhances Service Quotas capabilities, enabling organizations to proactively monitor and manage quotas for their cloud deployments.

AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your web applications or APIs against common web exploits and bots that may affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. By leveraging AWS Service Quotas, you can quickly understand your applied service quota values for these WAF resources and request increases when needed. This enhanced integration brings three key benefits. First, you can now monitor the current utilization of your account-level quotas for WAF resources such as web ACLs, rule groups, and IP sets in the Service Quotas console. Second, certain service quota increase requests will now be auto-approved, enabling customers to access higher quotas faster. For example, smaller increases are usually automatically approved while larger requests are submitted to AWS Support. Lastly, you can now create Amazon CloudWatch alarms to notify you when your utilization of a given quota exceeds a configurable threshold. This enables you to better adapt your utilization based on your applied quota values and automate your quota increase requests.

You can access AWS Service Quotas through the AWS console, AWS APIs, and CLI. Integration with AWS Service Quotas is available in all AWS regions where AWS WAF is offered. You can learn more about AWS WAF by visiting Developer Guide.

Amazon Verified Permissions now supports the Cedar JSON entity format

Amazon Verified Permissions now supports the same JSON format for entity and context data, as the Cedar SDK. Developers can use this simpler format for authorization requests. This aligns the Amazon Verified Permissions API more closely with the open source Cedar SDK, and simplifies moving from the SDK to Amazon Verified Permissions or vice versa.

Amazon Verified Permissions is a permissions management and fine-grained authorization service for the applications that you build. Using Cedar, an expressive and analyzable open-source policy language, developers and admins can define policy-based access controls using roles and attributes for more granular, context-aware access control. For example, an HR application might call Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) to determine if Alice is permitted to access Bob’s performance evaluation, given that she is in the HR Managers group. Customers can use Cedar JSON format to pass entity data describing the principal (Alice) and the resource (Bob’s performance evaluation).

This change is available in all AWS regions supported by Amazon Verified Permissions. The service will continue to support the old format, and so the change does not break existing application integrations. To learn more about using the Cedar JSON format, see Cedar JSON entity in the Cedar user guide and the Verified Permissions user guide. To learn more about Amazon Verified Permissions, visit the product page. For more information visit the Verified Permissions product page.
