Course details
In this course, learn how to build real-world, AI-powered applications using Amazon Bedrock. Instructor Noah Gift starts off with an examination of the foundation model service, focusing on how to utilize the unified API to interact with various foundational models, such as those from Anthropic, Amazon's own models, or Mistral. He compares different variants and demonstrates how to effectively employ this unified interface. Then, dive into the console and explore its significance and advantages for prototyping. Noah then guides you through building applications, showing how to use the chat interface and compare different prompts, and explains the agents ecosystem. Plus, learn how to use the knowledge base, including how to ground using retrieval, augmented generative AI, and how to combine these elements.
