Amazon Bedrock – Product Review

Overview

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed framework from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables users to build apps using Artificial Intelligence (AI). This tool allows you to utilize the generative AI, such as the kind that creates text, images, code, etc.

You don’t need to build your own AI models, and the best part is that it permits you to use powerful AI models made by top companies (like Anthropic, AI21, Meta, etc) right inside this tool. It gives you access to some of the smartest AI models out there. For example, you give it a prompt like “write a funny poem about rain,” the output you get depends on which AI model you are using inside it (Claude, Mistral, Meta Llama, etc). 

Amazon Bedrock is produced by AWS. It was announced in April 2023 and launched in September 2023. It was not found by only one person, but by the team at AWS, and a few members contributed significantly.
