Bedrock by Amazon is a new cloud service for artificial intelligence-generated text and pictures that quite surprised everyone. The company’s decision to launch such a thing proves how another business is trying to understand the AI “game” and bring something into the world. What’s best at the new Bedrock is that it enables programmers to utilize and modify AI algorithms that produce text or graphics. It’s more like a developer- and business-focused cloud-based replacement for OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALL-E 2.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy released a statement explaining:
Most companies want to use these large language models, but the really good ones take billions of dollars to train and many years and most companies don’t want to go through that; […], what they want to do is they want to work off of a foundational model that’s big and great already and then have the ability to customize it for their own purposes. And that’s what Bedrock is.
Amazon clearly saw and analyzed the variety of AI models available as a means to provide consumers with options, which is totally relatable and necessary.
How does Bedrock exactly work?
Without having to manage any infrastructure, you can quickly get started with Bedrock’s serverless experience. You can also choose to privately customize FMs with your own data or try to easily integrate and deploy them into your applications via the AWS tools and capabilities you are accustomed to (integrations with Amazon SageMaker ML or features like Experiments). Quite impressive, isn’t it?!
Well, it is in fact, a new step to advanced progress, and as we move forward, we understand how much these skills are needed.
According to Amazon, among the first companies lined up to test Bedrock include Accenture, C3.ai, Deloitte, and Pegasystems. The tech giant is now planning something even more interesting: actual access via a waitlist. That, unfortunately, hasn’t yet disclosed the price for the AWS toolset.
