We launched constrained decoding to provide reliability when using tools for structured outputs. Now, tools can be used with Amazon Nova foundation models (FMs) to extract data based on complex schemas, reducing tool use errors by over 95%. In this post, we explore how you can use Amazon Nova FMs for structured output use cases.
Learn how to enhance Amazon Q with custom plugins to combine semantic search capabilities with precise analytics for AWS Support data. This solution enables more accurate answers to analytical questions by integrating structured data querying with RAG architecture, allowing teams to transform raw support cases and health events into actionable insights. Discover how this enhanced architecture delivers exact numerical analysis while maintaining natural language interactions for improved operational decision-making.
In regression models , failure occurs when the model produces inaccurate predictions — that is, when error metrics like MAE or RMSE are high — or when the model, once deployed, fails to generalize well to new data that differs from the examples it was trained or tested on.
In this post, we first introduce the Strands Agents SDK and its core features. Then we explore how it integrates with AWS environments for secure, scalable deployments, and how it provides rich observability for production use. Finally, we discuss practical use cases, and present a step-by-step example to illustrate Strands in action.
Image segmentation is a popular task in computer vision, with the goal of partitioning an input image into multiple regions, where each region represents a separate object. Several classic approaches from the past involved taking a model backbone (e.g., U-Net) and fine-tuning it on specialized datasets. While fine-tuning works well, the emergence of GPT-2 and […]

We walk you through the implementation of Amazon Bedrock Data Automation to transcribe and detect slide changes, as well as the use of Amazon Bedrock foundation models (FMs) for transcription refinement, combined with custom AWS Lambda functions orchestrated by AWS Step Functions.
In today’s fast-paced, distraction-heavy world, data literacy isn’t just about understanding charts or analyzing numbers—it’s about context, clarity, and human connection. With attention spans shrinking and AI-generated insights flooding our screens, even highly skilled professionals can behave like data novices. The real challenge isn’t technical know-how, but guiding overwhelmed audiences through stories that are clear, relevant, and actionable. True data literacy now means thinking beyond dashboards—framing insights with empathy, simplifying messages, and helping people stay focused long enough to make smart decisions.
