Amazon SageMaker AI Async Inference now supports inline request payloads

Summary

Amazon SageMaker AI Async Inference now supports inline request payloads, enabling customers to send inference payloads directly in the request body of the InvokeEndpointAsync API. This eliminates the need to upload input data to Amazon S3 before each invocation.

Why it matters

This update simplifies the workflow for asynchronous inference, reducing latency and operational overhead. By removing the S3 upload step, developers can streamline their machine learning pipelines and improve efficiency, especially for applications requiring frequent or small-scale inferences.
