Using agents, you can automate tasks for your internal or external customers, such as managing retail orders or processing insurance claims.
We already see customers exploring Titan Text Premier to implement interactive AI assistants that create summaries from unstructured data such as emails. They’re also exploring the model to extract relevant information across company systems and data sources to create more meaningful product summaries.
Here’s a demo video created by my colleague Brooke Jamieson that shows an example of how you can put Titan Text Premier to work for your business.
Custom fine-tuning of Amazon Titan Text Premier (preview) – You can fine-tune Titan Text Premier with your own data in Amazon Bedrock to increase model accuracy by providing your own task-specific labeled training dataset. Customizing Titan Text Premier helps to further specialize your model and create unique user experiences that reflect your company’s brand, style, voice, and services.
Built responsibly – Amazon Titan Text Premier incorporates safe, secure, and trustworthy practices. The AWS AI Service Card for Amazon Titan Text Premier documents the model’s performance across key responsible AI benchmarks from safety and fairness to veracity and robustness. The model also integrates with Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock so you can implement additional safeguards customized to your application requirements and responsible AI policies. Amazon indemnifies customers who responsibly use Amazon Titan models against claims that generally available Amazon Titan models or their outputs infringe on third-party copyrights.
Amazon Titan Text Premier model performance
Titan Text Premier has been built to deliver broad intelligence and utility relevant for enterprises. The following table shows evaluation results on public benchmarks that assess critical capabilities, such as instruction following, reading comprehension, and multistep reasoning against price-comparable models. The strong performance across these diverse and challenging benchmarks highlights that Titan Text Premier is built to handle a wide range of use cases in enterprise applications, offering great price performance. For all benchmarks listed below, a higher score is a better score.

Note: Benchmarks evaluate model performance using a variation of few-shot and zero-shot prompting. With few-shot prompting, you provide the model with a number of concrete examples (three for 3-shot, five for 5-shot, etc.) of how to solve a specific task. This demonstrates the model’s ability to learn from example, called in-context learning. With zero-shot prompting on the other hand, you evaluate a model’s ability to perform tasks by relying only on its preexisting knowledge and general language understanding without providing any examples.
Get started with Amazon Titan Text Premier
To enable access to Amazon Titan Text Premier, navigate to the Amazon Bedrock console and choose Model access on the bottom left pane. On the Model access overview page, choose the Manage model access button in the upper right corner and enable access to Amazon Titan Text Premier.
To use Amazon Titan Text Premier in the Bedrock console, choose Text or Chat under Playgrounds in the left menu pane. Then choose Select model and select Amazon as the category and Titan Text Premier as the model. To explore the model, you can load examples. The following screenshot shows one of those examples that demonstrates the model’s chain of thought (CoT) and reasoning capabilities.
By choosing View API request, you can get a code example of how to invoke the model using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) with the current example prompt. You can also access Amazon Bedrock and available models using the AWS SDKs. In the following example, I will use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3).
Amazon Titan Text Premier in action
For this demo, I ask Amazon Titan Text Premier to summarize one of my previous AWS News Blog posts that announced the availability of Amazon Titan Image Generator and the watermark detection feature.
For summarization tasks, a recommended prompt template looks like this:
The following is text from a :
Summarize the in For more prompting best practices, check out the Amazon Titan Text Prompt Engineering Guidelines.
I adapt this template to my example and define the prompt. In preparation, I saved my News Blog post as a text file and read it into the post string variable.
prompt = """
The following is text from a AWS News Blog post:
<text>
%s
</text>
Summarize the above AWS News Blog post in a short paragraph.
""" % postSimilar to previous Amazon Titan Text models, Amazon Titan Text Premier supports temperature and topP inference parameters to control the randomness and diversity of the response, as well as maxTokenCount and stopSequences to control the length of the response.
import boto3
import json
bedrock_runtime = boto3.client(service_name="bedrock-runtime")
body = json.dumps({
"inputText": prompt,
"textGenerationConfig":{
"maxTokenCount":256,
"stopSequences":[],
"temperature":0,
"topP":0.9
}
})Then, I use the InvokeModel API to send the inference request.
response = bedrock_runtime.invoke_model(
body=body,
modelId="amazon.titan-text-premier-v1:0",
accept="application/json",
contentType="application/json"
)
response_body = json.loads(response.get('body').read())
print(response_body.get('results')[0].get('outputText'))And here’s the response:
Amazon Titan Image Generator is now generally available in Amazon Bedrock, giving you an easy way to build and scale generative AI applications with new image generation and image editing capabilities, including instant customization of images. Watermark detection for Titan Image Generator is now generally available in the Amazon Bedrock console. Today, we’re also introducing a new DetectGeneratedContent API (preview) in Amazon Bedrock that checks for the existence of this watermark and helps you confirm whether an image was generated by Titan Image Generator.
