What if you could replace hours of data analysis with a minute-long conversation? Large language models can transform how we bridge the gap between business questions and actionable data insights. For most organizations, this gap remains stubbornly wide, with business teams trapped in endless cycles—decoding metric definitions and hunting for the correct data sources to…
In Part 1 of this series, we explored how Amazon’s Worldwide Returns & ReCommerce (WWRR) organization built the Returns & ReCommerce Data Assist (RRDA)—a generative AI solution that transforms natural language questions into validated SQL queries using Amazon Bedrock Agents. Although this capability improves data access for technical users, the WWRR organization’s journey toward truly…
Extracting information from unstructured documents at scale is a recurring business task. Common use cases include creating product feature tables from descriptions, extracting metadata from documents, and analyzing legal contracts, customer reviews, news articles, and more. A classic approach to extracting information from text is named entity recognition (NER). NER identifies entities from predefined categories,…
This post is co-written with Zhanghao Wu, co-creator of SkyPilot. The rapid advancement of generative AI and foundation models (FMs) has significantly increased computational resource requirements for machine learning (ML) workloads. Modern ML pipelines require efficient systems for distributing workloads across accelerated compute resources, while making sure developer productivity remains high. Organizations need infrastructure solutions…
What’s going on right now with the copyright battles over artificial intelligence? Many lawsuits regarding generative AI’s training materials were initially filed back in 2023, with decisions just now starting to trickle out. Whether it’s Midjourney generating videos of Disney characters, like Wall-E brandishing a gun, or an exit interview with a top AI lawyer…
This post provides the theoretical foundation and practical insights needed to navigate the complexities of LLM development on Amazon SageMaker AI, helping organizations make optimal choices for their specific use cases, resource constraints, and business objectives. We also address the three fundamental aspects of LLM development: the core lifecycle stages, the spectrum of fine-tuning methodologies,…
The rapid growth of generative AI technology has been a catalyst for business productivity growth, creating new opportunities for greater efficiency, enhanced customer service experiences, and more successful customer outcomes. Today’s generative AI advances are helping existing technologies achieve their long-promised potential. For example, voice-first applications have been gaining traction across industries for years—from customer…
This post is cowritten with Siddhant Waghjale and Samuel Barry from Mistral AI. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that has been gaining significant traction in recent months. At a high level, it consists of a standardized interface designed to streamline and enhance how AI models interact with external data sources and systems. Instead…
