The AWS Social Responsibility & Impact (SRI) team recognized an opportunity to augment this function using generative AI. The team developed an innovative solution to streamline grant proposal review and evaluation by using the natural language processing (NLP) capabilities of Amazon Bedrock. In this post, we explore the technical implementation details and key learnings from the team’s Amazon Bedrock powered grant proposal review solution, providing a blueprint for organizations seeking to optimize their grants management processes.

In this post, we review how Aetion’s Smart Subgroups Interpreter enables users to interact with Smart Subgroups using natural language queries. Powered by Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic’s Claude 3 large language models (LLMs), the interpreter responds to user questions expressed in conversational language about patient subgroups and provides insights to generate further hypotheses and evidence.

In this post, we demonstrate how to deploy distilled versions of DeepSeek-R1 models using Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import. We focus on importing the variants currently supported DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B, which offer an optimal balance between performance and resource efficiency.

As generative AI adoption grows, organizations should establish a generative AI operating model. An operating model defines the organizational design, core processes, technologies, roles and responsibilities, governance structures, and financial models that drive a business’s operations. In this post, we evaluate different generative AI operating model architectures that could be adopted.

RAG retrieves data from a preexisting knowledge base (your data), combines it with the LLM’s knowledge, and generates responses with more human-like language. However, in order for generative AI to understand your data, some amount of data preparation is required, which involves a big learning curve. In this post, we walk you through how to convert your existing Aurora data into an index without needing data preparation for Amazon Kendra to perform data search and implement RAG that combines your data along with LLM knowledge to produce accurate responses.

In this post, we explore how Amazon Bedrock latency-optimized inference can help address the challenges of maintaining responsiveness in LLM applications. We’ll dive deep into strategies for optimizing application performance and improving user experience. Whether you’re building a new AI application or optimizing an existing one, you’ll find practical guidance on both the technical aspects of latency optimization and real-world implementation approaches. We begin by explaining latency in LLM applications.

In this post, we show how to use FMEval and Amazon SageMaker to programmatically evaluate LLMs. FMEval is an open source LLM evaluation library, designed to provide data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers with a code-first experience to evaluate LLMs for various aspects, including accuracy, toxicity, fairness, robustness, and efficiency.

This post walks you through the end-to-end process of deploying a single custom model on SageMaker using NASA’s Prithvi model. The Prithvi model is a first-of-its-kind temporal Vision transformer pre-trained by the IBM and NASA team on contiguous US Harmonised Landsat Sentinel 2 (HLS) data. It can be finetuned for image segmentation using the mmsegmentation library for use cases like burn scars detection, flood mapping, and multi-temporal crop classification.

Amazon has introduced two new creative content generation models on Amazon Bedrock: Amazon Nova Canvas for image generation and Amazon Nova Reel for video creation. These models transform text and image inputs into custom visuals, opening up creative opportunities for both professional and personal projects. Nova Canvas, a state-of-the-art image generation model, creates professional-grade images […]

In this post, we implemented secure fine-tuning jobs in Amazon Bedrock, which is crucial for protecting sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of your AI models. By following the best practices outlined in this post, including proper IAM role configuration, encryption at rest and in transit, and network isolation, you can significantly enhance the security posture of your fine-tuning processes.
