Build a contextual text and image search engine for product recommendations using Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless

In this post, we show how to build a contextual text and image search engine for product recommendations using the Amazon Titan Multimodal Embeddings model, available in Amazon Bedrock, with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless.

AWS and Mistral AI commit to democratizing generative AI with a strengthened collaboration

Today, Mistral AI is bringing its latest and most capable model, Mistral Large, to Amazon Bedrock, and is committed to making future models accessible to AWS customers. Mistral AI will also use AWS AI-optimized AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia to build and deploy its future foundation models on Amazon Bedrock, benefitting from the price, performance, scale, and security of AWS. Along with this announcement, starting today, customers can use Amazon Bedrock in the AWS Europe (Paris) Region. At launch, customers will have access to some of the latest models from Amazon, Anthropic, Cohere, and Mistral AI, expanding their options to support various use cases from text understanding to complex reasoning.

Generative AI roadshow in North America with AWS and Hugging Face

In 2023, AWS announced an expanded collaboration with Hugging Face to accelerate our customers’ generative artificial intelligence (AI) journey. Hugging Face, founded in 2016, is the premier AI platform with over 500,000 open source models and more than 100,000 datasets. Over the past year, we have partnered to make it effortless to train, fine-tune, and […]

Gradient makes LLM benchmarking cost-effective and effortless with AWS Inferentia

This is a guest post co-written with Michael Feil at Gradient. Evaluating the performance of large language models (LLMs) is an important step of the pre-training and fine-tuning process before deployment. The faster and more frequent you’re able to validate performance, the higher the chances you’ll be able to improve the performance of the model. […]

Enable single sign-on access of Amazon SageMaker Canvas using AWS IAM Identity Center: Part 2

Amazon SageMaker Canvas allows you to use machine learning (ML) to generate predictions without having to write any code. It does so by covering the end-to-end ML workflow: whether you’re looking for powerful data preparation and AutoML, managed endpoint deployment, simplified MLOps capabilities, or the ability to configure foundation models for generative AI, SageMaker Canvas […]

Solar models from Upstage are now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

This blog post is co-written with Hwalsuk Lee at Upstage. Today, we’re excited to announce that the Solar foundation model developed by Upstage is now available for customers using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Solar is a large language model (LLM) 100% pre-trained with Amazon SageMaker that outperforms and uses its compact size and powerful track records […]

Scale LLMs with PyTorch 2.0 FSDP on Amazon EKS – Part 2

This is a guest post co-written with Meta’s PyTorch team and is a continuation of Part 1 of this series, where we demonstrate the performance and ease of running PyTorch 2.0 on AWS. Machine learning (ML) research has proven that large language models (LLMs) trained with significantly large datasets result in better model quality. In […]

Advanced RAG patterns on Amazon SageMaker

Today, customers of all industries—whether it’s financial services, healthcare and life sciences, travel and hospitality, media and entertainment, telecommunications, software as a service (SaaS), and even proprietary model providers—are using large language models (LLMs) to build applications like question and answering (QnA) chatbots, search engines, and knowledge bases. These generative AI applications are not only […]

Efficient continual pre-training LLMs for financial domains

Large language models (LLMs) are generally trained on large publicly available datasets that are domain agnostic. For example, Meta’s Llama models are trained on datasets such as CommonCrawl, C4, Wikipedia, and ArXiv. These datasets encompass a broad range of topics and domains. Although the resulting models yield amazingly good results for general tasks, such as […]
