Auto-optimize your Amazon OpenSearch Service vector database
AWS recently announced the general availability of auto-optimize for the Amazon OpenSearch Service vector engine. This feature streamlines vector index optimization by automatically evaluating configuration trade-offs across search quality, speed, and cost savings. You can then run a vector ingestion pipeline to build an optimized index on your desired collection or domain. Previously, optimizing index […]
Build billion-scale vector databases in under an hour with GPU acceleration on Amazon OpenSearch Service
AWS recently announced the general availability of GPU-accelerated vector (k-NN) indexing on Amazon OpenSearch Service. You can now build billion-scale vector databases in under an hour and index vectors up to 10 times faster at a quarter of the cost. This feature dynamically attaches serverless GPUs to boost domains and collections running CPU-based instances. With […]
Amazon OpenSearch Service launches flow builder to empower rapid AI search innovation
The AI search flow builder is available in all AWS Regions that support OpenSearch 2.19+ on OpenSearch Service. In this post, we walk through a couple of scenarios to demonstrate the flow builder. First, we’ll enable semantic search on your old keyword-based OpenSearch application without client-side code changes. Next, we’ll create a multi-modal RAG flow, to showcase how you can redefine image discovery within your applications.
OpenSearch Vector Engine is now disk-optimized for low cost, accurate vector search
OpenSearch Vector Engine can now run vector search at a third of the cost on OpenSearch 2.17+ domains. You can now configure k-NN (vector) indexes to run on disk mode, optimizing it for memory-constrained environments, and enable low-cost, accurate vector search that responds in low hundreds of milliseconds. Disk mode provides an economical alternative to memory mode when you don’t need near single-digit latency. In this post, you’ll learn about the benefits of this new feature, the underlying mechanics, customer success stories, and getting started.
