Retrieving Bedrock model details

Once your Bedrock client is set up, you can explore model details before making API calls. This can help check details about the model in advance, such as the name, identification code, and model provider.

The boto3 and json libraries have been pre-imported.

Exercise 4: Selecting a foundation model Exercise 5: Using the correct model in Bedrock Exercise 6: Generating text in Bedrock

In this chapter, you'll progress through three key lessons. Starting with the basics of text generation and response handling, you'll then advance to sophisticated prompt engineering techniques like few-shot learning and structured outputs. The final lesson covers model parameter optimization, teaching learners to fine-tune settings like temperature and token limits for optimal results. Each lesson builds upon the previous, moving from fundamental API interactions to advanced parameter control for specific use cases.
