Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful approach for building generative AI applications by providing foundation models (FMs) access to additional, relevant data. This approach improves response accuracy and transparency while avoiding the potential cost and complexity of FM training or fine-tuning. Many customers use Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases to help implement RAG workflows. You…
The textbook picture of how planets form – serene, flat discs of cosmic dust – has just received a significant cosmic twist. New research, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, is set to reshape this long-held view. An international team of scientists, wielding the formidable power of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), has found…

One of the first parts of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease is the entorhinal cortex — a region that plays a big role in memory, spatial navigation, and the brain’s internal mapping system. With support from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Alzheimer’s and Related Diseases Research Award Fund (ARDRAF), Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC…
As organizations increasingly adopt foundation models (FMs) for their artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workloads, managing large-scale inference operations efficiently becomes crucial. Amazon Bedrock supports two general types of large-scale inference patterns: real-time inference and batch inference for use cases that involve processing massive datasets where immediate results aren’t necessary. Amazon Bedrock batch inference…
Training and deploying large AI models requires advanced distributed computing capabilities, but managing these distributed systems shouldn’t be complex for data scientists and machine learning (ML) practitioners. The newly released command line interface (CLI) and software development kit (SDK) for Amazon SageMaker HyperPod simplify how you can use the service’s distributed training and inference capabilities….
Watch: Underwater footage shows the polar vessel colonised with sea life Rebecca Morelle, Alison Francis and Kevin ChurchBBC News Science One of the most famous polar shipwrecks has been filmed in detail on the sea floor for the first time. The Terra Nova carried Captain Scott and his men on their doomed expedition to reach…
The government is planning a new law in England to stop anyone under the age of 16 buying energy drinks such as Red Bull, Monster and Prime from shops, restaurants, cafes, vending machines and online. Up to a third of UK children are thought to consume these types of drinks every week, despite most supermarkets…
Some up-and-comers are pushing to make agents that can actually place wagers instead of just supplying tips, but the field is off to a rough start. Tom Fleetham formerly worked as the head of business development for a blockchain platform called Zilliqa that experimented with an AI gambling agent called Ava, focused on picking horse…
Solutions that fix real problems Hospitals and health systems are looking at AI-enabled solutions that target their most urgent pain points: staffing shortages, clinician burnout, rising costs, and patient bottlenecks. These operational realities keep leadership up at night, and AI solutions must directly address them. For instance, hospitals and health systems are eager for AI…
