Bedrock: The Service for Building Generative AI Applications
Bedrock is a service offered by Amazon that allows developers to build generative AI applications using a range of large language models (LLMs). It provides access to these models through a simple API, enabling developers to interact with the models using plain English prompts. Bedrock also offers customization options such as fine-tuning and continued pre-training, allowing developers to tailor the models to their specific use cases. Additionally, Bedrock includes features like managed retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and agents, which help with complex reasoning and executing tasks based on context. The service also provides controls like guardrails, ensuring compliance and filtering out certain topics. Bedrock has been available since September 2021 and offers a user-friendly experience with training courses, a playground, and support from AWS experts.
