This article announces the general availability of batch inference for Amazon Bedrock, a scalable solution for processing large volumes of data when interacting with foundation models (FMs). It focuses on enhancing call center efficiency by using batch inference for transcript summarization as an example use case.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Solution overview: Explaining the three main phases of batch inference - data preparation, job submission, and output collection/analysis.
• Prerequisites: AWS account, Amazon S3 bucket, access to models hosted on Amazon Bedrock, and an IAM role for batch inference.
• Preparing the data: Formatting input data in JSONL format, adhering to size limits and requirements.
• Starting the batch inference job: Step-by-step guide for using the Amazon Bedrock console or API to initiate and manage batch inference jobs.
• Collecting and analyzing the output: Accessing processed data through the Amazon S3 console or programmatically using the AWS SDK, with code examples.
• Conclusion: Encouraging readers to implement batch inference for their projects and experience the benefits of optimized interactions with FMs at scale.
