Last week, Dr. Matt Wood, VP for AI Products at Amazon Web Services (AWS), delivered the keynote at the AWS Summit Los Angeles. Matt and guest speakers shared the latest advancements in generative artificial intelligence (generative AI), developer tooling, and foundational infrastructure, showcasing how they come together to change what’s possible for builders. You can watch the full keynote on YouTube. Announcements during the LA Summit included two new Amazon Q courses as part of Amazon’s AI Ready initiative to provide free AI skills training to 2 million people globally by 2025. The courses are part of the Amazon Q learning plan. But that’s not all that happened last week. Last week’s launches Here are some launches that got my attention:…

Build RAG and agent-based generative AI applications with new Amazon Titan Text Premier model, available in Amazon Bedrock
Today, we’re happy to welcome a new member of the Amazon Titan family of models: Amazon Titan Text Premier, now available in Amazon Bedrock. Following Amazon Titan Text Lite and Titan Text Express, Titan Text Premier is the latest large language model (LLM) in the Amazon Titan family of models, further increasing your model choice within Amazon Bedrock. You can now choose between the following Titan Text models in Bedrock: Titan Text Premier is the most advanced Titan LLM for text-based enterprise applications. With a maximum context length of 32K tokens, it has been specifically optimized for enterprise use cases, such as building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent-based applications with Knowledge Bases and Agents for Amazon Bedrock. As with…
Build generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock Studio (preview)
Today, we’re introducing Amazon Bedrock Studio, a new web-based generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) development experience, in public preview. Amazon Bedrock Studio accelerates the development of generative AI applications by providing a rapid prototyping environment with key Amazon Bedrock features, including Knowledge Bases, Agents, and Guardrails. As a developer, you can now use your company’s single sign-on credentials to sign in to Bedrock Studio and start experimenting. You can build applications using a wide array of top performing models, evaluate, and share your generative AI apps within Bedrock Studio. The user interface guides you through various steps to help improve a model’s responses. You can experiment with model settings, and securely integrate your company data sources, tools, and APIs, and set guardrails. You can…
Amazon Titan Image Generator and watermark detection API are now available in Amazon Bedrock
During AWS re:Invent 2023, we announced the preview of Amazon Titan Image Generator, a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) foundation model (FM) that you can use to quickly create and refine realistic, studio-quality images using English natural language prompts. I’m happy to share that Amazon Titan Image Generator is now generally available in Amazon Bedrock, giving you an easy way to build and scale generative AI applications with new image generation and image editing capabilities, including instant customization of images. In my previous post, I also mentioned that all images generated by Titan Image Generator contain an invisible watermark, by default, which is designed to help reduce the spread of misinformation by providing a mechanism to identify AI-generated images. I’m…
