OpenSearch is a scalable, flexible, and extensible open source software suite for search, analytics, security monitoring, and observability applications, licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. Amazon OpenSearch Service is a fully managed service that makes it straightforward to deploy, scale, and operate OpenSearch in the AWS Cloud. OpenSearch uses a probabilistic ranking framework called BM-25 […]

Creating scalable and efficient machine learning (ML) pipelines is crucial for streamlining the development, deployment, and management of ML models. In this post, we present a framework for automating the creation of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for Amazon SageMaker Pipelines based on simple configuration files. The framework code and examples presented here only cover […]

In this post, we show you how to build an internal SaaS layer to access foundation models with Amazon Bedrock in a multi-tenant (team) architecture. We specifically focus on usage and cost tracking per tenant and also controls such as usage throttling per tenant. We describe how the solution and Amazon Bedrock consumption plans map to the general SaaS journey framework. The code for the solution and an AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) template is available in the GitHub repository.

Do your employees wait for hours on the telephone to open an IT ticket? Do they wait for an agent to triage an issue, which sometimes only requires restarting the computer? Providing excellent IT support is crucial for any organization, but legacy systems have relied heavily on human agents being available to intake reports and […]

Resilience plays a pivotal role in the development of any workload, and generative AI workloads are no different. There are unique considerations when engineering generative AI workloads through a resilience lens. Understanding and prioritizing resilience is crucial for generative AI workloads to meet organizational availability and business continuity requirements. In this post, we discuss the […]

This post provides three guided steps to architect risk management strategies while developing generative AI applications using LLMs. We first delve into the vulnerabilities, threats, and risks that arise from the implementation, deployment, and use of LLM solutions, and provide guidance on how to start innovating with security in mind. We then discuss how building on a secure foundation is essential for generative AI. Lastly, we connect these together with an example LLM workload to describe an approach towards architecting with defense-in-depth security across trust boundaries.

This post discusses how enterprises can build accurate, transparent, and secure generative AI applications while keeping full control over proprietary data. The proposed solution is a RAG pipeline using an AI-native technology stack, whose components are designed from the ground up with AI at their core, rather than having AI capabilities added as an afterthought. We demonstrate how to build an end-to-end RAG application using Cohere’s language models through Amazon Bedrock and a Weaviate vector database on AWS Marketplace.

Geospatial data is data about specific locations on the earth’s surface. It can represent a geographical area as a whole or it can represent an event associated with a geographical area. Analysis of geospatial data is sought after in a few industries. It involves understanding where the data exists from a spatial perspective and why […]

OpenAI Whisper is an advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR) model with an MIT license. ASR technology finds utility in transcription services, voice assistants, and enhancing accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments. This state-of-the-art model is trained on a vast and diverse dataset of multilingual and multitask supervised data collected from the web. Its high accuracy […]

Enterprises have access to massive amounts of data, much of which is difficult to discover because the data is unstructured. Conventional approaches to analyzing unstructured data use keyword or synonym matching. They don’t capture the full context of a document, making them less effective in dealing with unstructured data. In contrast, text embeddings use machine […]
