Despite the seemingly unstoppable adoption of LLMs across industries, they are one component of a broader technology ecosystem that is powering the new AI wave. Many conversational AI use cases require LLMs like Llama 2, Flan T5, and Bloom to respond to user queries. These models rely on parametric knowledge to answer questions. The model […]

Conversational AI has come a long way in recent years thanks to the rapid developments in generative AI, especially the performance improvements of large language models (LLMs) introduced by training techniques such as instruction fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback. When prompted correctly, these models can carry coherent conversations without any task-specific training data. […]

The ability to quickly build and deploy machine learning (ML) models is becoming increasingly important in today’s data-driven world. However, building ML models requires significant time, effort, and specialized expertise. From data collection and cleaning to feature engineering, model building, tuning, and deployment, ML projects often take months for developers to complete. And experienced data […]

Today, we are excited to announce support for Code Editor, a new integrated development environment (IDE) option in Amazon SageMaker Studio. Code Editor is based on Code-OSS, Visual Studio Code Open Source, and provides access to the familiar environment and tools of the popular IDE that machine learning (ML) developers know and love, fully integrated […]

Amazon SageMaker Canvas is a no-code workspace that enables analysts and citizen data scientists to generate accurate machine learning (ML) predictions for their business needs. Starting today, SageMaker Canvas supports advanced model build configurations such as selecting a training method (ensemble or hyperparameter optimization) and algorithms, customizing the training and validation data split ratio, and […]

Digital publishers are continuously looking for ways to streamline and automate their media workflows to generate and publish new content as rapidly as they can, but without foregoing quality. Adding images to capture the essence of text can improve the reading experience. Machine learning techniques can help you discover such images. “A striking image is […]

In the last few years Large Language Models (LLMs) have risen to prominence as outstanding tools capable of understanding, generating and manipulating text with unprecedented proficiency. Their potential applications span from conversational agents to content generation and information retrieval, holding the promise of revolutionizing all industries. However, harnessing this potential while ensuring the responsible and […]

Amazon SageMaker Canvas is a rich, no-code Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI workspace that has allowed customers all over the world to more easily adopt ML technologies to solve old and new challenges thanks to its visual, no-code interface. It does so by covering the ML workflow end-to-end: whether you’re looking for powerful data […]

This post is written in collaboration with Brad Duncan, Rachel Johnson and Richard Alcock from MathWorks. MATLAB  is a popular programming tool for a wide range of applications, such as data processing, parallel computing, automation, simulation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. It’s heavily used in many industries such as automotive, aerospace, communication, and manufacturing. In […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to use the SageMaker Python SDK for text embedding and sentence similarity. Sentence similarity involves assessing the likeness between two pieces of text after they are converted into embeddings by the LLM, which is a foundation step for applications like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
