In this post we discuss how you can maintain access to Lookout for Equipment after it is closed to new customers and some alternatives to Lookout for Equipment.

As generative AI moves from proofs of concept (POCs) to production, we’re seeing a massive shift in how businesses and consumers interact with data, information—and each other. In what we consider “Act 1” of the generative AI story, we saw previously unimaginable amounts of data and compute create models that showcase the power of generative […]

We are excited to announce the availability of the Jamba-Instruct large language model (LLM) in Amazon Bedrock. Jamba-Instruct is built by AI21 Labs, and most notably supports a 256,000-token context window, making it especially useful for processing large documents and complex Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. What is Jamba-Instruct Jamba-Instruct is an instruction-tuned version of […]

This post is co-written with Matt Middleton from Contentful. Today, jointly with Contentful, we are announcing the launch of the AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock. The AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock is an app available on the Contentful Marketplace that allows users to create, rewrite, summarize, and translate content using cutting-edge […]

With the use of cloud computing, big data and machine learning (ML) tools like Amazon Athena or Amazon SageMaker have become available and useable by anyone without much effort in creation and maintenance. Industrial companies increasingly look at data analytics and data-driven decision-making to increase resource efficiency across their entire portfolio, from operations to performing […]

This post was written in collaboration with Ankur Goyal and Karthikeyan Chokappa from PwC Australia’s Cloud & Digital business. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming an integral part of systems and processes, enabling decisions in real time, thereby driving top and bottom-line improvements across organizations. However, putting an ML model into production […]

As organizations deploy models to production, they are constantly looking for ways to optimize the performance of their foundation models (FMs) running on the latest accelerators, such as AWS Inferentia and GPUs, so they can reduce their costs and decrease response latency to provide the best experience to end-users. However, some FMs don’t fully utilize […]

Determining the value of housing is a classic example of using machine learning (ML). In this post, we discuss the use of an open-source model specifically designed for the task of visual question answering (VQA). With VQA, you can ask a question of a photo using natural language and receive an answer to your question—also in plain language. Our goal in this post is to inspire and demonstrate what is possible using this technology.

Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that automatically extracts text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents. Queries is a feature that enables you to extract specific pieces of information from varying, complex documents using natural language. Custom Queries provides a way for you to customize the Queries feature for your business-specific, non-standard documents […]

A recommendation engine is only as good as the data used to prepare it. Transforming raw data into a format that is suitable for a model is key to getting better personalized recommendations for end-users. In this post, we walk through how to prepare and import the MovieLens dataset, a dataset prepared by GroupLens research […]
