Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base adds single-shot RAG and retrieval-only via AgenticRetrieveStream
Amazon Web Services updated Bedrock’s Managed Knowledge Base to support single-shot Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and retrieval-only requests through the AgenticRetrieveStream API. Developers can now choose per request between retrieval-only (no foundation model calls), single-shot RAG (one model call to generate an answer), or agentic retrieval (multiple planning/retrieval iterations controlled by maxAgentIteration).
KEY POINTS
- Amazon Web Services updated Bedrock’s Managed Knowledge Base to support single-shot Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and retrieval-only requests through the AgenticRetrieveStream API.
- Developers can now choose per request between retrieval-only (no foundation model calls), single-shot RAG (one model call to generate an answer), or agentic retrieval (multiple planning/retrieval iterations controlled by maxAgentIteration).
- This lets developers use a single Bedrock API to balance latency, cost, and thoroughness by selecting retrieval-only, single-shot RAG, or multi-iteration agentic retrieval per request.
WHY IT MATTERS
