Large-Language Models (LLMs) and multi-modal models are revolutionizing tasks like code generation and image creation from text. These models, termed foundation models (FMs), are customizable for specific needs without starting from scratch each time. Pre-training involves training on vast amounts of unlabeled data, resulting in impressive performance across various tasks. This ebook offers an overview of FM capabilities, discusses opportunities and risks, and demonstrates leveraging LLMs with AWS technologies for secure solutions.
