Today, we’re thrilled to announce Amazon Nova, a new generation of state-of-the-art foundation models (FMs) that deliver frontier intelligence and industry leading price performance, available exclusively in Amazon Bedrock. You can use Amazon Nova to lower costs and latency for almost any generative AI task. You can build on Amazon Nova to analyze complex documents and videos, understand charts and diagrams, generate engaging video content, and build sophisticated AI agents, from across a range of intelligence classes optimized for enterprise workloads. Whether you’re developing document processing applications that need to process images and text, creating marketing content at scale, or building AI assistants that can understand and act on visual information, Amazon Nova provides the intelligence and flexibility you need with…

Today, we’re announcing two new evaluation capabilities in Amazon Bedrock that can help you streamline testing and improve generative AI applications: Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases now supports RAG evaluation (preview) – You can now run an automatic knowledge base evaluation to assess and optimize Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. The evaluation process uses a large language model (LLM) to compute the metrics for the evaluation. With RAG evaluations, you can compare different configurations and tune your settings to get the results you need for your use case. Amazon Bedrock Model Evaluation now includes LLM-as-a-judge (preview) – You can now perform tests and evaluate other models with humanlike quality at a fraction of the cost and…

PartyRock is an Amazon Bedrock playground that anyone can use to create generative AI-powered applications by simply describing the app you want to build without the need to write any code. Since its launch in November 2023, over half a million apps have been built by users worldwide. These apps range from simple text generators to sophisticated productivity tools that combine multiple AI capabilities. Throughout this year, we observed that as PartyRock users build skills and intuition by using the playground, they find interesting and useful ways to build apps for improving their daily lives. PartyRock apps increased their individual productivity, and they returned to PartyRock to use them regularly. Today, we’re introducing improvements meeting the most requested customer needs:…

Today, we are announcing support for Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) and NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS) on Amazon FSx for Lustre. EFA is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that makes it possible to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale. GDS is a technology that creates a direct data path between local or remote storage and GPU memory. With these enhancements, Amazon FSx for Lustre with EFA/GDS support provides up to 12 times higher (up to 1200 Gbps) per-client throughput compared to the previous FSx for Lustre version. You can use FSx for Lustre to build and run the most performance demanding applications, such as deep learning training, drug discovery, financial modeling, and autonomous vehicle development.…
