Perplexity Builds Advanced Search Engine Using Anthropic’s Claude 3 in Amazon Bedrock
Learn how Perplexity’s AI-powered search engine uses Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic’s Claude 3 for accurate, comprehensive answers to user queries.
Overview
Perplexity wanted to offer a powerful alternative to the traditional online search engine, so it created an interactive search companion that provides personalized and conversational answers that are backed by a curated list of sources. Users can choose among multiple high-performing large language models (LLMs) for relevant, accurate, and understandable information.
To simplify access to proprietary models, such as the popular cutting-edge LLM Claude from Anthropic, and to fine-tune open-source LLMs, Perplexity needed a powerful global infrastructure for its search engine, Perplexity AI. The company chose to build Perplexity AI on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides a breadth of services offering enterprise-grade security and privacy, access to industry-leading foundation models (FMs), and applications powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to running its own models on AWS, Perplexity offers its users access to Claude through Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing FMs from leading AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon through a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities that organizations need to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI.
