20A 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?
21A 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. Recently, they started receiving ThrottlingException errors during peak hours. The team needs to process all images within 24 hours without changing the model or the application code. 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?

53A company deployed a chatbot using Amazon Lex integrated with a Lambda function that invokes Claude on Amazon Bedrock. The Lambda function retrieves relevant documents from an Amazon Kendra index to use as context. Users report that the chatbot's responses are often irrelevant or incorrect despite the Kendra index containing accurate information. The logs show that the Lambda function is correctly passing retrieved documents to the model. What is the most likely cause and solution?
54A startup is fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) for code generation using Amazon SageMaker. They are using a p4d.24xlarge instance with a single GPU. The training process is extremely slow, taking over 48 hours for one epoch. The dataset is 10GB of code snippets. The company needs to iterate quickly. Which action would most significantly reduce training time without sacrificing model quality?
55A company uses Amazon Bedrock Agents to build an agent that interacts with users through a chat interface. The agent is configured with a knowledge base containing product documentation. Sometimes the agent fails to answer simple questions like 'What is your return policy?' and instead says it cannot find the answer. The knowledge base does contain the return policy. What is the most likely reason?
56A healthcare company wants to use generative AI to automatically generate patient summary reports from electronic health records (EHRs). The solution must be HIPAA compliant and data must not leave AWS. They plan to use Amazon Bedrock with a foundation model. The EHR data is stored in Amazon S3 and contains protected health information (PHI). Which approach best meets compliance requirements?
57A 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?
