21A financial services company is deploying a generative AI model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time fraud detection. The model, a fine-tuned Llama 2 7B, must respond to transaction requests within 500 milliseconds. The team has deployed the model using a SageMaker real-time endpoint with a single ml.g5.2xlarge instance. During load testing, the endpoint achieves an average latency of 450 ms at 10 requests per second (RPS), but the latency spikes to over 2 seconds at 20 RPS. The team needs to maintain sub-500 ms latency at up to 50 RPS. The model is too large to fit on a single GPU, so they are using CPU instances. They considered using a larger instance type but want to minimize cost. What should the team do to meet the latency requirement cost-effectively?
22A media company is using Amazon Bedrock to generate captions for images. They have a batch processing pipeline that sends thousands of images daily to the Bedrock API using the Titan Image Generator G1 model.

The current account has a default quota of 10 requests per second (RPS) for the Titan model in us-east-1. The team estimates they need 50 RPS during peak hours. They have already implemented exponential backoff in the client, but the errors persist. What is the MOST effective solution to resolve the throttling issue?

117A company operates a customer support chatbot that uses Amazon Bedrock with a knowledge base sourced from an S3 bucket containing frequently updated product documentation. The knowledge base uses OpenSearch Serverless as the vector store and is configured to sync daily. The chatbot uses the RetrieveAndGenerate API with a custom Lambda function that applies a system prompt instructing the model to base answers solely on the retrieved context. After a major update to the product documentation, the IT team verifies that the data source sync completed successfully and the new chunks are present in the OpenSearch index. However, the chatbot continues to respond with outdated information. Further investigation reveals that the Lambda function includes a response caching mechanism using Amazon ElastiCache for Redis with a Time-To-Live (TTL) of 24 hours. The cache key is based on the user query. The team notes that no cache invalidation is performed after documentation updates. What is the most likely cause of the outdated responses?
