Pixtral 12B, Mistral AI's cutting-edge vision language model, excels in text-only and multimodal tasks, outperforming other models. It features a novel architecture with a 400-million-parameter vision encoder and a 12-billion-parameter transformer decoder, offering high performance and speed for understanding images and documents.

Streamline Enterprise Automation with Amazon Q Business Plugins

Amazon Q Business uses generative AI to boost employee productivity with real-time data access and seamless integration with enterprise apps through plugins. Employees can perform actions and access non-indexed data across multiple applications using natural language, streamlining workflows and saving time.

Mastering Predicted Probability: Visual Guide & Code Examples

Classification models provide not only answers but also confidence levels through probability scores. Explore how seven basic classifiers calculate and express their prediction certainty visually. Understanding predicted probability is key to interpreting how models make choices with varying levels of confidence.

Decoding AI: Making Predictions Understandable

MIT researchers developed a system using large language models to convert complex AI explanations into plain language, improving user understanding. The system evaluates the quality of the narrative, allowing users to trust machine-learning predictions and customize explanations to meet specific needs.

Maximizing LLM Performance: The Power of Hybrid Models

Implementing Speculative and Contrastive Decoding enhances text generation quality and efficiency using large and small language models. Contrastive Decoding prioritizes tokens with the largest probability difference between models for high-quality outputs.

AI Saves Lives: Reducing Stillbirths in Malawi

The only hospital in the country using foetal safety software reduced baby fatalities by 82% in 3 years. A routine ultrasound at Area 25 health centre in Malawi's capital saved Ellen Kaphamtengo's baby from potential asphyxia.

Accelerate RAG Applications with Amazon SageMaker JumpStart & FAISS

Generative AI, especially Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), is transforming industries by providing personalized experiences through external knowledge sources. RAG applications on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart using Facebook AI Similarity Search (FAISS) optimize generative AI output with cost benefits and quicker iteration.
