Amazon has added generative artificial intelligence models into Amazon Web Services. Generative AI is the type of artificial intelligence that can create text or images, similar to ChatGPT. With Amazon Bedrock, customers can build and scale generative AI-based applications through an API. From there, the libraries of Amazon Titan FMs, which include two large language models, will be open as well as other models from AI21 Labs, Anthropic and Stability AI.<\/p>\n

Amazon Bedrock is now available in limited preview.<\/p>\n

What is Amazon Bedrock?<\/h2>\n

Amazon Bedrock is a service that provides access to generative AI on the cloud. Technically, Amazon Bedrock is a library of foundation models, all of which provide similar content-generating abilities. Since Amazon Bedrock\u2019s models are hosted by AWS, existing clients can access them through their usual channels and not have to worry about hosting the model\u2019s large amounts of data on their own infrastructure. However, enterprise clients will be able to feed data sets of their choice into the models.<\/p>\n

Perhaps mindful of worries about security, Amazon reassured people that data fed into a training model in this way would not be used to train future iterations back at Amazon HQ.<\/p>\n

Customers will also be able to use familiar AWS controls for the new AI. It connects to the cloud-based machine learning platform SageMaker ML, which includes an environment in which to test different models and a feature for managing foundation models at scale.<\/p>\n

What are Amazon Titan FMs?<\/h2>\n

While Amazon Bedrock is the service, Amazon Titan is the content. Amazon Titan offers two AI models: one that creates text and one that improves searches and personalizations. In addition to creating new text such as blog posts or emails, Amazon Titan can sort items into different classifications, hold open-ended conversations and extract specific information from chunks of text.<\/p>\n

The latter enhances searches by tailoring the results to more relevant and contextual responses, Amazon said. A model similar to this one is already at work in Amazon\u2019s product search.<\/p>\n

How will businesses use Amazon Bedrock?<\/h2>\n

Once organizations have the AI hooked up to their existing AWS, Amazon said they can customize a model by feeding it just 20 examples of the kind of task that particular organization might want the AI to complete.<\/p>\n
