+After specifying the XGBoost image URI, use the XGBoost container to construct a `ModelTrainer` and initiate a training job. This XGBoost built-in algorithm mode does not incorporate your own XGBoost training script and runs directly on the input datasets.
+
+###### Important
+
+When you retrieve the SageMaker AI XGBoost image URI, do not use `:latest` or `:1` for the image URI tag. You must specify one of the [Supported versions](./xgboost.html#xgboost-supported-versions) to choose the SageMaker AI-managed XGBoost container with the native XGBoost package version that you want to use. To find the package version migrated into the SageMaker AI XGBoost containers, see [Docker Registry Paths and Example Code](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg-ecr-paths/sagemaker-algo-docker-registry-paths.html). Then choose your AWS Region, and navigate to the **XGBoost (algorithm)** section.
