Amazon Bedrock adds reinforcement fine-tuning simplifying how developers build smarter, more accurate AI models

Organizations face a challenging trade-off when adapting AI models to their specific business needs: settle for generic models that produce average results, or tackle the complexity and expense of advanced model customization. Traditional approaches force a choice between poor performance with smaller models or the high costs of deploying larger model variants and managing complex infrastructure. Reinforcement fine-tuning is an advanced technique that trains models using feedback instead of massive labeled datasets, but implementing it typically requires specialized ML expertise, complicated infrastructure, and significant investment—with no guarantee of achieving the accuracy needed for specific use cases.

Today, we’re announcing reinforcement fine-tuning in Amazon Bedrock, a new model customization capability that creates smarter, more cost-effective models that learn from feedback and deliver higher-quality outputs for specific business needs. Reinforcement fine-tuning uses a feedback-driven approach where models improve iteratively based on reward signals, delivering 66% accuracy gains on average over ...
