Multimodal fine-tuning represents a powerful approach for customizing foundation models (FMs) 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 particular output formatting requirements. Fine-tuning addressesContinue Reading

Generative AI question-answering applications are pushing the boundaries of enterprise productivity. These assistants can be powered by various backend architectures including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic workflows, fine-tuned large language models (LLMs), or a combination of these techniques. However, building and deploying trustworthy AI assistants requires a robust ground truthContinue Reading

Cloud costs can significantly impact your business operations. Gaining real-time visibility into infrastructure expenses, usage patterns, and cost drivers is essential. This insight enables agile decision-making, optimized scalability, and maximizes the value derived from cloud investments, providing cost-effective and efficient cloud utilization for your organization’s future growth. What makes costContinue Reading

This post is co-written with Steven Craig from Hearst.  To maintain their competitive edge, organizations are constantly seeking ways to accelerate cloud adoption, streamline processes, and drive innovation. However, Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams often can be perceived as bottlenecks to organizational transformation due to limited resources and overwhelmingContinue Reading

Fine-tuning is a powerful approach in natural language processing (NLP) and generative AI, allowing businesses to tailor pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for specific tasks. This process involves updating the model’s weights to improve its performance on targeted applications. By fine-tuning, the LLM can adapt its knowledge base to specificContinue Reading

In Part 1 of this series, we explored best practices for creating accurate and reliable agents using Amazon Bedrock Agents. Amazon Bedrock Agents help you accelerate generative AI application development by orchestrating multistep tasks. Agents use the reasoning capability of foundation models (FMs) to create a plan that decomposes theContinue Reading

Building intelligent agents that can accurately understand and respond to user queries is a complex undertaking that requires careful planning and execution across multiple stages. Whether you are developing a customer service chatbot or a virtual assistant, there are numerous considerations to keep in mind, from defining the agent’s scopeContinue Reading
