Today, we are excited to announce that the DBRX model, an open, general-purpose large language model (LLM) developed by Databricks, is available for customers through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to deploy with one click for running inference. The DBRX LLM employs a fine-grained mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, pre-trained on 12 trillion tokens of carefully curated data and a maximum context length of 32,000 tokens. You can try out this model with SageMaker JumpStart, a machine learning (ML) hub that provides access to algorithms and models so you can quickly get started with ML. In this p ..read more

At AWS re:Invent 2023, we announced the general availability of Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock. With Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock, you can securely connect foundation models (FMs) in Amazon Bedrock to your company data for fully managed Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). In previous posts, we covered new capabilities like hybrid search support, metadata filtering to improve retrieval accuracy, and how Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock manages the end-to-end RAG workflow. Today, we’re introducing the new capability to chat with your document with zero setup in Knowledge Bases for ..read more

Organizations across industries are using automatic text summarization to more efficiently handle vast amounts of information and make better decisions. In the financial sector, investment banks condense earnings reports down to key takeaways to rapidly analyze quarterly performance. Media companies use summarization to monitor news and social media so journalists can quickly write stories on developing issues. Government agencies summarize lengthy policy documents and reports to help policymakers strategize and prioritize goals. By creating condensed versions of long, complex documents, summa ..read more

Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) assistants are engineered to provide precise, real-time responses through intelligent routing of queries to the most suitable AI functions. With AWS generative AI services like Amazon Bedrock, developers can create systems that expertly manage and respond to user requests. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies like AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon using a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities you need to build generat ..read more

The Amazon EU Design and Construction (Amazon D&C) team is the engineering team designing and constructing Amazon warehouses. The team navigates a large volume of documents and locates the right information to make sure the warehouse design meets the highest standards. In the post A generative AI-powered solution on Amazon SageMaker to help Amazon EU Design and Construction, we presented a question answering bot solution using a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline with a fine-tuned large language model (LLM) for Amazon D&C to efficiently retrieve accurate information from a l ..read more

In various industries, such as financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare, customers use a digital identity process, which usually involves several steps to verify end-users during online onboarding or step-up authentication. An example of one step that can be used is face search, which can help determine whether a new end-user’s face matches those associated with an existing account. Building an accurate face search system involves several steps. The system must be able to detect human faces in images, extract the faces into vector representations, store face vectors in a databas ..read more

We are excited to announce two new capabilities in Amazon SageMaker Studio that will accelerate iterative development for machine learning (ML) practitioners: Local Mode and Docker support. ML model development often involves slow iteration cycles as developers switch between coding, training, and deployment. Each step requires waiting for remote compute resources to start up, which delays validating implementations and getting feedback on changes. With Local Mode, developers can now train and test models, debug code, and validate end-to-end pipelines directly on their SageMaker Studio noteboo ..read more

We introduced Amazon Bedrock to the world a little over a year ago, delivering an entirely new way to build generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. With the broadest selection of first- and third-party foundation models (FMs) as well as user-friendly capabilities, Amazon Bedrock is the fastest and easiest way to build and scale secure generative AI applications. Now tens of thousands of customers are using Amazon Bedrock to build and scale impressive applications. They are innovating quickly, easily, and securely to advance their AI strategies. And we’re supporting their efforts ..read more

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant momentum with organizations actively exploring its potential applications. As successful proof-of-concepts transition into production, organizations are increasingly in need of enterprise scalable solutions. However, to unlock the long-term success and viability of these AI-powered solutions, it is crucial to align them with well-established architectural principles. The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides best practices and guidelines for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cl ..read more

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod is purpose-built to accelerate foundation model (FM) training, removing the undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in managing and optimizing a large training compute cluster. With SageMaker HyperPod, you can train FMs for weeks and months without disruption. Typically, HyperPod clusters are used by multiple users: machine learning (ML) researchers, software engineers, data scientists, and cluster administrators. They edit their own files, run their own jobs, and want to avoid impacting each other’s work. To achieve this multi-user environment, you can take advantage ..read more
