Amazon Web Services unveiled Bedrock, a suite of generative AI tools aimed at businesses and developers.
AWS, the world's largest provider of cloud infrastructure, has thrown itself in the ring to compete against cloud rivals Microsoft and Google in the generative AI race.
- Using Bedrock, AWS customers can build chatbots, write and summarize text, and create and classify images using prompts.
- The toolkit features foundation models for text and images from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Stability AI, and other third parties, along with Amazon's own Titan large language models.
- Enterprises
and developers can choose a particular foundation model to build
customized generative AI applications and host them in the AWS cloud.
- Currently,
a Bedrock preview is limited to select AWS customers. Businesses slated
to try out the new toolset include C3.ai, Accenture, Deloitte, and
Pegasystems.
- In his annual shareholder letter
posted today, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company will invest
"heavily" in large language models and generative AI, calling them "a
big deal for customers, our shareholders, and Amazon."
- Amazon
has also been working on its own LLM, Jassy noted, saying it "will
transform and improve virtually every customer experience."
