Build knowledge-powered conversational applications using LlamaIndex and Llama 2-Chat

Unlocking accurate and insightful answers from vast amounts of text is an exciting capability enabled by large language models (LLMs). When building LLM applications, it is often necessary to connect and query external data sources to provide relevant context to the model. One popular approach is using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to create Q&A systems […]

Use everyday language to search and retrieve data with Mixtral 8x7B on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

With the widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, organizations are trying to use these technologies to make their teams more productive. One exciting use case is enabling natural language interactions with relational databases. Rather than writing complex SQL queries, you can describe in plain language what data you want to retrieve or manipulate. […]

Solar models from Upstage are now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

This blog post is co-written with Hwalsuk Lee at Upstage. Today, we’re excited to announce that the Solar foundation model developed by Upstage is now available for customers using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Solar is a large language model (LLM) 100% pre-trained with Amazon SageMaker that outperforms and uses its compact size and powerful track records […]

Advanced RAG patterns on Amazon SageMaker

Today, customers of all industries—whether it’s financial services, healthcare and life sciences, travel and hospitality, media and entertainment, telecommunications, software as a service (SaaS), and even proprietary model providers—are using large language models (LLMs) to build applications like question and answering (QnA) chatbots, search engines, and knowledge bases. These generative AI applications are not only […]

Fine-tune Code Llama on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

Today, we are excited to announce the capability to fine-tune Code Llama models by Meta using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. The Code Llama family of large language models (LLMs) is a collection of pre-trained and fine-tuned code generation models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 70 billion parameters. Fine-tuned Code Llama models provide better accuracy […]

Best practices to build generative AI applications on AWS

Generative AI applications driven by foundational models (FMs) are enabling organizations with significant business value in customer experience, productivity, process optimization, and innovations. However, adoption of these FMs involves addressing some key challenges, including quality output, data privacy, security, integration with organization data, cost, and skills to deliver. In this post, we explore different approaches […]

Gemma is now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart 

Today, we’re excited to announce that the Gemma model is now available for customers using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Gemma is a family of language models based on Google’s Gemini models, trained on up to 6 trillion tokens of text. The Gemma family consists of two sizes: a 7 billion parameter model and a 2 billion parameter model. Now, […]

Code Llama 70B is now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

Today, we are excited to announce that Code Llama foundation models, developed by Meta, are available for customers through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart to deploy with one click for running inference. Code Llama is a state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) capable of generating code and natural language about code from both code and natural language prompts. […]

Monitor embedding drift for LLMs deployed from Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

One of the most useful application patterns for generative AI workloads is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). In the RAG pattern, we find pieces of reference content related to an input prompt by performing similarity searches on embeddings. Embeddings capture the information content in bodies of text, allowing natural language processing (NLP) models to work with […]

Benchmark and optimize endpoint deployment in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart 

When deploying a large language model (LLM), machine learning (ML) practitioners typically care about two measurements for model serving performance: latency, defined by the time it takes to generate a single token, and throughput, defined by the number of tokens generated per second. Although a single request to the deployed endpoint would exhibit a throughput […]
