Last week I met Jeff Barr at the AWS Shenzhen Community Day. Jeff shared stories about how builders around the world are experimenting with generative AI and encouraged local developers to keep pushing ideas into real prototypes. Many attendees stayed after the sessions to discuss model grounding, evaluation, and how to bring generative AI into […]
The cloud has become the backbone of modern digital transformation, powering everything from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. But as organizations grow in the cloud, one reality becomes unavoidable- scale without optimization leads to waste. According to Flexera’s 2024 State of the Cloud Report, nearly 30% of cloud spend is wasted due to idle resources, […]

The AI infrastructure market is projected to reach $421.44 billion by 2033, growing 27.53% annually. As AI models expand, the demand for low-latency, globally distributed compute is accelerating. Cloud architects and AI infrastructure teams now face a core challenge: deliver real-time inference worldwide without overspending or overengineering. Traditional clouds are hitting limits. GPU costs remain […]
Imagine building AI applications that deliver accurate, current information without the complexity of developing intricate data retrieval systems. Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Web Grounding, a new built-in tool for Nova models on Amazon Bedrock. Web Grounding provides developers with a turnkey Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) option that allows the Amazon […]
Today, we’re introducing Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings, a state-of-the-art multimodal embedding model for agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and semantic search applications, available in Amazon Bedrock. It is the first unified embedding model that supports text, documents, images, video, and audio through a single model to enable crossmodal retrieval with leading accuracy. Embedding models convert textual, […]
This week started with challenges for many using services in the the North Virginia (us-east-1) Region. On Monday, we experienced a service disruption affecting DynamoDB and several other services due to a DNS configuration problem. The issue has been fully resolved, and you can read the full details in our official summary. As someone who […]
AI agents – task-specific models designed to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously given instructions — are being widely implemented across enterprises (up to 79% of all surveyed for a PwC report earlier this year). But they’re also introducing new security risks. When an agentic AI security breach happens, companies may be quick to fire employees and […]
Today, we’re announcing AWS RTB Fabric, a fully managed service purpose built for real-time bidding (RTB) advertising workloads. The service helps advertising technology (AdTech) companies seamlessly connect with their supply and demand partners, such as Amazon Ads, GumGum, Kargo, MobileFuse, Sovrn, TripleLift, Viant, Yieldmo and more, to run high-volume, latency-sensitive RTB workloads on Amazon Web […]
