Australian Bureau of Statistics builds an AWS MLOps pipeline with SageMaker pipelines and Jupyter notebooks, migrating from on‑prem 600k/week training to cloud training of ~10M records in an hour. A hybrid approach uses hierarchical SVMs plus DistilBERT LLMs, backed by a confident‑learning UI for targeted data relabeling, producing ~9–10% point‑of‑capture coding, HSVM then LLM uplift to ~95% autocoding (leaving ~5% manual) — a ~20% clerical reduction versus 2021 — exposed via authenticated APIs including a 1 second response public service.
