Intelligent document processing (IDP) refers to the automated extraction, classification, and processing of data from various document formats—both structured and unstructured. Within the IDP landscape, key information extraction (KIE) serves as a fundamental component, enabling systems to identify and extract critical data points from documents with minimal human intervention. OrganizationsContinue Reading

Chat-based assistants powered by Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) are transforming customer support, internal help desks, and enterprise search, by delivering fast, accurate answers grounded in your own data. With RAG, you can use a ready-to-deploy foundation model (FM) and enrich it with your own data, making responses relevant and context-awareContinue Reading

At Amazon, our team builds Rufus, a generative AI-powered shopping assistant that serves millions of customers at immense scale. However, deploying Rufus at scale introduces significant challenges that must be carefully navigated. Rufus is powered by a custom-built large language model (LLM). As the model’s complexity increased, we prioritized developingContinue Reading

AI assistants that forget what you told them 5 minutes ago aren’t very helpful. While large language models (LLMs) excel at generating human-like responses, they are fundamentally stateless—they don’t retain information between interactions. This forces developers to build custom memory systems to track conversation history, remember user preferences, and maintainContinue Reading

The education sector needs efficient, high-quality course material development that can keep pace with rapidly evolving knowledge domains. Faculty invest days to create content and quizzes for topics to be taught in weeks. Increased faculty engagement in manual content creation creates a time deficit for innovation in teaching, inconsistent courseContinue Reading

IT teams face mounting challenges as they manage increasingly complex infrastructure and applications, often spending countless hours manually identifying operational issues, troubleshooting problems, and performing repetitive maintenance tasks. This operational burden diverts valuable technical resources from innovation and strategic initiatives. Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) presents a transformative solution,Continue Reading

In 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) launched the Generative AI Accelerator Challenge (GENIAC)—a Japanese national program to boost generative AI by providing companies with funding, mentorship, and massive compute resources for foundation model (FM) development. AWS was selected as the cloud provider for GENIAC’s second cycleContinue Reading

Vector embeddings have become essential for modern Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications, but organizations face significant cost challenges as they scale. As knowledge bases grow and require more granular embeddings, many vector databases that rely on high-performance storage such as SSDs or in-memory solutions become prohibitively expensive. This cost barrierContinue Reading

Organizations are adopting large language models (LLMs), such as DeepSeek R1, to transform business processes, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation at unprecedented speed. However, standalone LLMs have key limitations such as hallucinations, outdated knowledge, and no access to proprietary data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses these gaps by combiningContinue Reading
