Amazon Web Services introduced Bedrock on 13 April, putting models from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Stability AI and Amazon behind an API for businesses building generative AI applications. It’s available in limited preview.

The announced lineup includes Jurassic-2, Claude and Stable Diffusion. Amazon also unveiled two Titan models: one generates text, while the other creates numerical representations for search and personalisation. Titan is being tested with selected customers. AWS says data used to customise models won’t train the original base models.
AI21 says businesses can privately customise Jurassic-2 within AWS without running the underlying infrastructure. The instruction-following model supports English and six other languages, with tasks including summarisation, email drafting and answering questions from a supplied knowledge base.
A separate AWS release today makes CodeWhisperer generally available. The coding assistant offers a free Individual tier and works inside supported development tools. Developers don’t need an AWS account to sign up.
