RAG

Agentic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications represent an advanced approach in AI that integrates foundation models (FMs) with external knowledge retrieval and autonomous agent capabilities. These systems dynamically access and process information, break down complex tasks, use external tools, apply reasoning, and adapt to various contexts. They go beyond simpleContinue Reading

Organizations today deal with vast amounts of unstructured data in various formats including documents, images, audio files, and video files. Often these documents are quite large, creating significant challenges such as slower processing times and increased storage costs. Extracting meaningful insights from these diverse formats in the past required complexContinue Reading

Foundation models (FMs) have revolutionised AI capabilities, but adopting them for specific business needs can be challenging. Organizations often struggle with balancing model performance, cost-efficiency, and the need for domain-specific knowledge. This blog post explores three powerful techniques for tailoring FMs to your unique requirements: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuning,Continue Reading

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications are commonly built using a technique called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) that provides foundation models (FMs) access to additional data they didn’t have during training. This data is used to enrich the generative AI prompt to deliver more context-specific and accurate responses without continuously retrainingContinue Reading

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications have become increasingly popular due to their ability to enhance generative AI tasks with contextually relevant information. Implementing RAG-based applications requires careful attention to security, particularly when handling sensitive data. The protection of personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and confidential business dataContinue Reading

Organizations deploying generative AI applications need robust ways to evaluate their performance and reliability. When we launched LLM-as-a-judge (LLMaJ) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) evaluation capabilities in public preview at AWS re:Invent 2024, customers used them to assess their foundation models (FMs) and generative AI applications, but asked for moreContinue Reading

SQL is one of the key languages widely used across businesses, and it requires an understanding of databases and table metadata. This can be overwhelming for nontechnical users who lack proficiency in SQL. Today, generative AI can help bridge this knowledge gap for nontechnical users to generate SQL queries byContinue Reading

Organizations building and deploying AI applications, particularly those using large language models (LLMs) with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, face a significant challenge: how to evaluate AI outputs effectively throughout the application lifecycle. As these AI technologies become more sophisticated and widely adopted, maintaining consistent quality and performance becomes increasinglyContinue Reading
