I’m writing this as I depart from Ho Chi Minh City back to Singapore. Just realized what a week it’s been, so let me rewind a bit. This week, I tried my first Corne keyboard, wrapped up rehearsals for AWS Summit Jakarta with speakers who are absolutely raising the bar, and visited Vietnam to participate […]

AWS AI league is a program that helps organizations upskill their workforce by combining fun competition with hands-on learning using AWS AI services. It offers a unique opportunity for both enterprises and developers to gain valuable and practical skills in fine-tuning, model customization, and prompt engineering – essential skills for building generative AI solutions.

AWS now enables extensive customization of Amazon Nova foundation models through SageMaker AI with techniques including continued pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, direct preference optimization, reinforcement learning from human feedback and model distillation to better address domain-specific requirements across industries.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore enables rapid deployment and scaling of AI agents with enterprise-grade security. It provides memory management, identity controls, and tool integration—streamlining development while working with any open-source framework and foundation model.

Amazon SageMaker has introduced three new capabilities—Amazon QuickSight integration for dashboard creation, governance, and sharing, Amazon S3 Unstructured Data Integration for cataloging documents and media files, and automatic data onboarding from Lakehouse—that eliminate data silos by unifying structured and unstructured data management, visualization, and governance in a single experience.

Amazon S3 Vectors is a new cloud object store that provides native support for storing and querying vectors at massive scale, offering up to 90% cost reduction compared to conventional approaches while seamlessly integrating with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, SageMaker, and OpenSearch for AI applications.

TwelveLabs video understanding models are now available on Amazon Bedrock and enable customers to search through videos, classify scenes, summarize content, and extract insights with precision and reliability.

Every Monday we tell you about the best releases and blogs that caught our attention last week. This week I’m making an exception to include a release from today: Amazon Bedrock API keys. This new feature simplifies generative AI development by providing direct API authentication without needing to manually configure IAM principals and policies. Amazon […]
