Extract named entities from English text, including your own custom types at inference with no retraining. Runs inside your AWS account on CPU, so no text is sent to a third-party API. 18 default entity types.
Runs inside your own AWS account: your text is processed on a SageMaker
endpoint you control, inside your VPC, and is never sent to a third-party
API.
This SageMaker model package provides a REST API to detect named entities in US English text. Send a JSON array of sentences and receive labeled spans with character offsets and confidence scores.
Eighteen entity types are detected by default (person, organization, location, date, money, and more). Pass an optional "labels" array to extract any entity types you need (drugs, statutes, tickers) without retraining.
GPU is optional. Deploy on a GPU instance (for example ml.g4dn.xlarge) for higher throughput; the same image uses CUDA automatically when a GPU is present, and falls back to CPU otherwise. The API accepts JSON or CSV and supports real-time endpoints and SageMaker batch transform.
Use cases: redacting or routing documents by the people, companies and places they mention, enriching support tickets and contracts with structured fields, and feeding entity data to search, analytics and compliance workflows.
Known limitations: English text only. Event, facility and product are the least accurate default types, and very long inputs should be split into sentences or short paragraphs.
Model and training data
GLiNER medium (urchade/gliner_medium-v2.1), fine-tuned on a sample of Few-NERD (Ding et al., ACL-IJCNLP 2021) plus Sigmodata's own synthetic and hard-negative examples. The container runs in network isolation, so no data leaves your account.
Measured performance
Span-level micro F1 of 0.956 (precision 0.960, recall 0.952) on our validation set. An entity
counts as correct only on an exact character-span and label match.
F1 by type: 0.97 or higher for person, location (GPE), date, time, money, percent,
quantity, ordinal, cardinal and language; 0.90 to 0.96 for organization, group (NORP),
law, work of art and non-GPE location; 0.84 to 0.86 for event, facility and product.
Dates, times, money, percentages, quantities, ordinals and numbers are extracted by
deterministic rules rather than the model.
Throughput about 7 texts per second on ml.m5.xlarge at a batch size of 25.
Highlights
Extract 18 default entity types (people, organizations, dates, money and more), or pass your own labels per request with no retraining
Runs inside your own AWS account and VPC - text is never sent to a third-party API
Span-level F1 of 0.956 on our validation set (exact span and label match); about 7 texts per second on ml.m5.xlarge
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour for the SageMaker instance that runs this named entity detection model. Pricing scales with the compute you choose, not a subscription. Each instance family offers several sizes: general-purpose (m4, m5), compute-optimized (c4, c5), and GPU-backed (g4dn, g5, p2, p3). Larger sizes carry more capacity and cost more per hour. Most instances come in two modes: batch mode processes stored data in bulk, while real-time mode serves live requests. A few instances offer only one mode. You run the model inside your own AWS account.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one HostHrs unit cover for billing?
One HostHrs is one hour that your chosen SageMaker instance runs the model. Charges accrue per hour while the instance is active. The rate depends on the instance type and size you select. You pay only for the hours used, with no upfront commitment.
What is the difference between batch mode and real-time mode billing?
Both meter instance-hours the same way. Real-time mode keeps an endpoint running to serve live requests, so you pay for every hour it stays up. Batch mode runs a job over stored data, then stops, so you pay only for the job's run time.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or not processing requests?
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops the hourly software charge. A real-time endpoint keeps running until you shut it down, so it continues to accrue hours even when idle. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply separately.

An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.
Deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker AI using the following options:
Real-time inference
Deploy the model as an API endpoint for your applications. When you send data to the endpoint, SageMaker processes it and returns results by API response. The endpoint runs continuously until you delete it. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs while the endpoint runs. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Deploy models for real-time inference .
Batch transform
Deploy the model to process batches of data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). SageMaker runs the job, processes your data, and returns results to Amazon S3. When complete, SageMaker stops the model. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during the batch job. Duration depends on your model, instance type, and dataset size. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Batch transform for inference with Amazon SageMaker AI .
Version release notes
Retrained English GLiNER model (sigmodata-ner-basic-8).
Fixed the training data: locations, languages and laws were missing, and nationalities were labeled as locations
Dates, times, money, percentages, quantities, ordinals and numbers now use deterministic rules
Leading articles ("the") are no longer included in entity spans
Hard-negative training data for PRODUCT, FAC, ORG, and EVENT, with per-label score floors
Checkpoint stored in S3, version 20261006T134113Z-a985ba0
Measured micro F1 0.956 (precision 0.960, recall 0.952) on a 422-sentence internal test set, on the deployed package
