An Intro To Generative AI Applications with Amazon Bedrock

Image description

Amazon Bedrock is a managed service by AWS that helps you build and scale GenAI applications. Bedrock allows you to access FMs (foundation models) that are provided by AWS as well as any other third-party vendor-provided FMs via API calls. Some of the major FMs included in this ever-growing list are FMs such as Cohere and StabilityAI, Meta, AI21Labs, and Anthropic.

FMs are used as the baseline at the starting point of a model, which can be used to interpret and understand a language, converse in conversational messaging, and also to generate images based on your prompts.

Different FMs have different specializations and are able to produce a range of outputs based on prompts with high levels of accuracy.

  1. Stability Diffusion Model by Stability.AI is good for image generation.

  2. GPT-4 is used by ChatGPT for natural language.

You can adjust the inference parameters, weights, and other parameters specific to the FM and perform model evaluations to further refine the model to match your use-cases and organization needs.

to start working with the FMs, Log into your AWS Console UI, then navigate to the Amazon Bedrock page, then select the model access page from the bottom left of the page. then click on the specific models button and select the FMs you would like to use in your API or application.
