In this post, we focus on the ModelTrainer class for simplifying the training experience. The ModelTrainer class provides significant improvements over the current Estimator class, which are discussed in detail in this post. We show you how to use the ModelTrainer class to train your ML models, which includes executing distributed training using a custom script or container. In Part 2, we show you how to build a model and deploy to a SageMaker endpoint using the improved ModelBuilder class.

In this post, we examine how these features enhance the capabilities of Amazon Q Apps. We explore the new customization options, detailing how these advancements make Amazon Q Apps more accessible and applicable to a wider range of enterprise customers. We focus on key features such as custom labels, verified apps, private sharing, and data collection apps (preview).

Amazon Q Business launched support for tabular search, which you can use to extract answers from tables embedded in documents ingested in Amazon Q Business. Tabular search is a built-in feature in Amazon Q Business that works seamlessly across many domains, with no setup required from admin or end users. In this post, we ingest different types of documents that have tables and show you how Amazon Q Business responds to questions related to the data in the tables.

In April 2024, we launched our AI sales assistant, which we call Field Advisor, making it available to AWS employees in the Sales, Marketing, and Global Services organization, powered by Amazon Q Business. Since that time, thousands of active users have asked hundreds of thousands of questions through Field Advisor, which we have embedded in our customer relationship management (CRM) system, as well as through a Slack application.

In this post, we walk you through configuring and integrating Amazon Q for Business with Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible to enable your database administrators, data analysts, application developers, leadership, and other teams to quickly get accurate answers to their questions related to the content stored in Aurora PostgreSQL databases.

In this post, we illustrate the importance of generative AI in the collaboration between Tealium and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) team by automating the following: 1/ Evaluating the retriever and the generated answer of a RAG system based on the Ragas Repository powered by Amazon Bedrock, 2/ Generating improved instructions for each question-and-answer pair using an automatic prompt engineering technique based on the Auto-Instruct Repository. An instruction refers to a general direction or command given to the model to guide generation of a response. These instructions were generated using Anthropic’s Claude on Amazon Bedrock, and 4/ Providing a UI for a human-based feedback mechanism that complements an evaluation system powered by Amazon Bedrock.

In this post, we illustrate how EBSCOlearning partnered with AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) to use the power of generative AI in revolutionizing their learning assessment process. We explore the challenges faced in traditional question-answer (QA) generation and the innovative AI-driven solution developed to address them.

Today, we are excited to announce that Pixtral 12B (pixtral-12b-2409), a state-of-the-art vision language model (VLM) from Mistral AI that excels in both text-only and multimodal tasks, is available for customers through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. You can try this model with SageMaker JumpStart, a machine learning (ML) hub that provides access to algorithms and models that can be deployed with one click for running inference. In this post, we walk through how to discover, deploy, and use the Pixtral 12B model for a variety of real-world vision use cases.

In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, we explored ways to use the power of multimodal FMs such as Amazon Titan Multimodal Embeddings, Amazon Titan Text Embeddings, and Anthropic’s Claude 3 Sonnet. In this post, we compared the approaches from an accuracy and pricing perspective.

Amazon Q Business is a generative AI-powered assistant that enhances employee productivity by solving problems, generating content, and providing insights across enterprise data sources. Beyond searching indexed third-party services, employees need access to dynamic, near real-time data such as stock prices, vacation balances, and location tracking, which is made possible through Amazon Q Business plugins.
