Amazon has joined the generative AI race with its offering of Amazon Bedrock. With Bedrock, you get access to multiple models (from companies like AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Stability AI, and Amazon itself with the Titan models), and you can also create custom models by fine-tuning on your own data. And as you would expect from Amazon, enterprise-level security, privacy, governance and monitoring are baked right in.
In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll show you how to get started using Bedrock, including how to access the models and use the three playgrounds (text, chat and image). Then we’ll move to the APIs, writing some simple Python code to send a prompt and view the response. Finally, I’ll show you how to get started with a custom model and fine-tuning.
