AI overview

Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports single-shot RAG and retrieval-only requests through the AgenticRetrieveStream API, alongside agentic retrieval. Set maxAgentIteration to 1 to retrieve once and generate an answer with one foundation model call; set it to 0 to return passages without calling a model. Values from 2 to 5 keep agentic retrieval, with up to n minus 1 planning rounds before answer generation. AWS says single-shot RAG can reduce latency and model usage compared with agentic retrieval. Retrieval-only mode makes no foundation model calls.

    Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base Adds Single-Shot and Retrieval-Only Modes

    Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports single-shot RAG and retrieval-only requests through the AgenticRetrieveStream API, alongside existing agentic retrieval. Setting maxAgentIteration to 1 retrieves once and generates an answer; setting it to 0 returns passages without a language model call. Values from 2 to 5 retain agentic retrieval, with up to n minus 1 planning rounds before answer generation.
