Louise Matsakis: I got to say, I think calling this a migration is maybe underselling it. This is an evacuation, no? I find this sad in a lot of ways just because I remember when Tuvalu was kind of the poster child for climate change, and it was like, we have to save places like…
This post is co-written with Rich Young from Arize AI. Agentic AI applications built on agentic workflows differ from traditional workloads in one important way: they’re nondeterministic. That is, they can produce different results with the same input. This is because the large language models (LLMs) they’re based on use probabilities when generating each token….
For this study, Lindsey and his colleagues worked to lay down some of that groundwork. Previous research has shown that various dimensions of LLMs’ behavior—from whether they are talking about weddings to persistent traits such as sycophancy—are associated with specific patterns of activity in the simulated neurons that constitute LLMs. Those patterns can be written…
In 2002, artificial intelligence was still in winter. Despite decades of effort, dreams of bestowing computers with humanlike cognition and real-world understanding had not materialized. To look for a way forward, a small group of scientists gathered for “The St. Thomas Common Sense Symposium.” AI pioneer Marvin Minsky was the central presence, along with his…
Everywhere, it seems, interest around the subject is intensifying. Since April, search traffic on YouTube for “AI porn” has been the highest in Sweden, Australia, and Canada, according to Google Trends. More recently, the Supreme Court’s decision upholding Texas’ porn ID law—which is similar to laws in at least 20 other states and requires adult…
The Amazon Strands Agents SDK is an open source framework for building AI agents that emphasizes a model-driven approach. Instead of hardcoding complex task flows, Strands uses the reasoning abilities of modern large language models (LLMs) to handle planning and tool usage autonomously. Developers can create an agent with a prompt (defining the agent’s role…
Picture this: your machine learning (ML) team has a promising model to train and experiments to run for their generative AI project, but they’re waiting for GPU availability. The ML scientists spend time monitoring instance availability, coordinating with teammates over shared resources, and managing infrastructure allocation. Simultaneously, your infrastructure administrators spend significant time trying to…
As organizations seek to derive greater value from their AWS Support data, operational teams are looking for ways to transform raw support cases and health events into actionable insights. While traditional analytics tools can provide basic reporting capabilities, teams need more sophisticated solutions that can understand and process natural language queries about their operational data….
Developers building AI applications face a common challenge: converting unstructured data into structured formats. Structured output is critical for machine-to-machine communication use cases, because this enables downstream use cases to more effectively consume and process the generated outputs. Whether it’s extracting information from documents, creating assistants that fetch data from APIs, or developing agents that…
“Tavily is now available on AWS Marketplace and integrates natively with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. This makes it even faster for developers and enterprises to embed real-time web intelligence into secure, AWS-powered agents.” As enterprises accelerate their AI adoption, the demand for agent frameworks that can autonomously gather, process, and synthesize information has increased. Traditional…
