Multimodal fine-tuning represents a powerful approach for customizing vision large language models (LLMs) to excel at specific tasks that involve both visual and textual information. Although base multimodal models offer impressive general capabilities, they often fall short when faced with specialized visual tasks, domain-specific content, or output formatting requirements. Fine-tuningContinue 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

Successful generative AI software as a service (SaaS) systems require a balance between service scalability and cost management. This becomes critical when building a multi-tenant generative AI service designed to serve a large, diverse customer base while maintaining rigorous cost controls and comprehensive usage monitoring. Traditional cost management approaches forContinue Reading
