In our earlier post, we have shown how to leverage on Amazon Bedrock‘s Custom Model Import to deploy SEA-LION on the cloud. After importing the SEA-LION models, you can build applications with the AWS SDK. This article describes an alternative method to build the applications with OpenAI-compatible APIs served by the Bedrock Access Gateway. Prerequisites…
The SEA-LION models are open source and freely available for research and commercial use. A common question we receive from developers is how to host and configure SEA-LION for model inference in their own environments. When it comes to deploying our models, organizations have several hosting options available to them. One such approach involves using…
