This article provides a comprehensive case study comparing model customization (fine-tuning) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Amazon Nova models for improving domain-specific AI performance.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Evaluated Amazon Nova Micro and Nova Lite models using AWS-specific questions</li>
<li>Tested four approaches: base model, base model with RAG, model customization, and combined RAG and fine-tuning</li>
<li>Used multi-LLM judging framework to evaluate response quality</li>
<li>Key findings include:</li>
<li>Fine-tuning and RAG both improved response quality by 30%</li>
<li>Combined approach enhanced quality by 83%</li>
<li>Fine-tuning reduced latency by 50%</li>
<li>RAG reduced latency by 30%</li>
</ul>
<p>
The study recommends combining model customization and RAG for optimal performance, especially for specialized tasks with well-defined scopes.
