As expected, there were lots of exciting launches and updates announced during the AWS Summit New York. You can quickly scan the highlights in Top Announcements of the AWS Summit in New York, 2024. My colleagues and fellow AWS News Blog writers Veliswa Boya and Sébastien Stormacq were at the AWS Community Day Cameroon last week. They were energized to meet amazing professionals, mentors, and students – all willing to learn and exchange thoughts about cloud technologies. You can access the video replay to feel the vibes or just watch some of the talks! Last week’s launches In addition to the launches at the New York Summit, here are a few others that got my attention. Advanced RAG capabilities Knowledge…

Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock enables customers to implement safeguards based on application requirements and and your company’s responsible artificial intelligence (AI) policies. It can help prevent undesirable content, block prompt attacks (prompt injection and jailbreaks), and remove sensitive information for privacy. You can combine multiple policy types to configure these safeguards for different scenarios and apply them across foundation models (FMs) on Amazon Bedrock, as well as custom and third-party FMs outside of Amazon Bedrock. Guardrails can also be integrated with Agents for Amazon Bedrock and Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock. Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock provides additional customizable safeguards on top of native protections offered by FMs, delivering safety features that are among the best in the industry: Blocks as…

AWS Summit is in full swing around the world, with the most recent one being AWS Summit Singapore! Here is a sneak peek of the AWS staff and ASEAN community members at the Developer Lounge booth. It featured AWS Community speakers giving lightning talks on serverless, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), security, generative AI, and more. Last week’s launches Here are some launches that caught my attention. Not surprisingly, a lot of interesting generative AI features! Amazon Titan Text Premier is now available in Amazon Bedrock – This is the latest addition to the Amazon Titan family of large language models (LLMs) and offers optimized performance for key features like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) on Knowledge Bases for Amazon…

Foundational models (FMs) are trained on large volumes of data and use billions of parameters. However, in order to answer customers’ questions related to domain-specific private data, they need to reference an authoritative knowledge base outside of the model’s training data sources. This is commonly achieved using a technique known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). By fetching data from the organization’s internal or proprietary sources, RAG extends the capabilities of FMs to specific domains, without needing to retrain the model. It is a cost-effective approach to improving model output so it remains relevant, accurate, and useful in various contexts. Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed capability that helps you implement the entire RAG workflow from ingestion to…
