Option 2: Use invocation logs for data preparation

To use invocation logs for model distillation, set the model invocation logging on, use one of the model invocation operations, and make sure that you've set up an Amazon S3 bucket as the destination for the logs. Before you can start the model distillation job, you must provide Amazon Bedrock permissions to access the logs. For more information about setting up the invocation logs, see Monitor model invocation using Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

With this option, you can specify if you want Amazon Bedrock to use only the prompts, or to use prompt-response pairs from the invocation log. If you want Amazon Bedrock to use only prompts, then Amazon Bedrock might add proprietary data synthesis techniques to generate diverse and higher-quality responses from the teacher model. If you want Amazon Bedrock to use prompt-response pairs, then Amazon Bedrock won't re-generate responses from the teacher model. Amazon Bedrock will directly use the responses from the invocation log to fine-tune the student model.

You can optionally add request metadata to the prompt-response pairs in the invocation log using one of the model invocation operations and then later use it to filter the logs. Amazon Bedrock can use the filtered logs to fine-tune the student model.

To filter the logs using multiple request metadata, use a single operation Boolean operator AND, OR, or NOT. You cannot combine operations. For single request metadata filtering, use the Boolean operator NOT.

Add request metadata to prompts and responses in your invocation logs for model distillation

The model invocation logging collects invocation logs, model input data (prompts), and model output data(responses) for all invocations used in Amazon Bedrock. If you've enabled logging, you can collect the logs whenever you interact with Amazon Bedrock foundation models through any Invoke or Converse API operations. If you want Amazon Bedrock to use the prompts and associated responses from the invocation log to fine-tune the student model, then you must give Amazon Bedrock access to these logs. Using the responses that a model has already generated makes it quicker to fine-tune the student model. Using responses from the invocation logs also makes model distillation more cost-effective, however, Amazon Bedrock's proprietary data synthesis techniques are not added which may result in a more performant distilled model.

With invocation logs, you can identify the prompt-response pairs that you want Amazon Bedrock to use for model distillation. These prompt-response pairs can be for specific use cases. To be able to identify the prompt-response pairs to use for distillation, you must add a request metadata string to the prompt-response pairs when you invoke a model or use the Converse API operation. The request metadata is provided in the format: "priority" : "High".

As you continue to interact with the model using the Invoke or Converse API operations, the interactions and the request metadata are logged in the invocation logs. The following is an example of an invocation log from an InvokeModel call that shows the request metadata:

Every morning, their owners would let them out into the backyard to play. Rex was a golden retriever with long, shaggy fur. He loved to run and chase sticks. Charlie was a corgi with short legs and a big smile. He was happy just sniffing the grass and rolling around. \n\nThe two dogs spent every day playing together. Rex would grab a stick and bring it over to Charlie, wagging his tail excitedly. Charlie would take the other end of the stick in his mouth and they'd have a friendly game of tug-of-war. After tiring themselves out, they'd flop down in the warm sunshine for a nap. \n\nAt lunchtime, their owners would call them in for food. Rex would gobble up his kibble hungrily while Charlie ate his at a more leisurely pace. After lunch, it was right back outside for more playtime. The afternoon sunbeams would light up their fur as they chased each other around the yard. \n\nWhen it started getting late, their owners called them in for the night. Rex and Charlie would head inside, tired but happy after another fun day of play. After slurping up fresh water from their bowls, they'd curl up on their beds, Rex's fluffy golden tail tucked over his nose and little",

You can specify the invocation log as your input data source when you start a model distillation job. You can start model distillation job in the Amazon Bedrock console, using the API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK.

Requirements for providing request metadata

The request metadata must meet the following requirements:

Using request metadata filters

You can apply filters to the request metadata to selectively choose which prompt-response pairs to include in distillation for fine-tuning the student model. For example, you might want to include only those with "project" : "CustomerService" and "priority" : "High" request metadata.

To filter the logs using multiple request metadata, use a single Boolean operator AND, OR, or NOT. You cannot combine operations. For single request metadata filtering, use the Boolean operator NOT.

You can specify the invocation log as your input data source and what filters to use to select the prompt-response pairs when you start a model distillation job. You can start model distillation job in the Amazon Bedrock console, using the API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. For more information, see Submit a model distillation job in Amazon Bedrock.
