Try semantic search with the Amazon OpenSearch Service vector engine

Amazon OpenSearch Service has long supported both lexical and vector search, since the introduction of its kNN plugin in 2020. With recent developments in generative AI, including AWS’s launch of Amazon Bedrock earlier in 2023, you can now use Amazon Bedrock-hosted models in conjunction with the vector database capabilities of OpenSearch Service, allowing you to implement semantic search, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), recommendation engines, and rich media search based on high-quality vector search. The recent launch of the vector engine for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless makes it even easier to deploy such solutions.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless expands support for larger workloads and collections

We recently announced new enhancements to Amazon OpenSearch Serverless that can scan and search source data sizes of up to 6 TB.
