In Part 1 of our series, we introduced a proactive cost management solution for Amazon Bedrock, featuring a robust cost sentry mechanism designed to enforce real-time token usage limits. We explored the core architecture, token tracking strategies, and initial budget enforcement techniques that help organizations control their generative AI expenses. Building upon that foundation, this…
European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new model, SPEAR-1, was developed by researchers at the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) in Bulgaria. It may help other researchers and startups build…
Many enterprises are burdened with mission-critical systems built on outdated technologies that have become increasingly difficult to maintain and extend. This post demonstrates how you can use the Amazon Bedrock Converse API with Amazon Nova Premier within an agentic workflow to systematically migrate legacy C code to modern Java/Spring framework applications.
