Teaching AI to Behave: Structured Output with Amazon Bedrock in Production

The moment AI becomes useful isn’t when it produces impressive text. It’s when it becomes predictable enough to behave like a system component.

There’s a moment when generative AI moves from interesting to useful. It usually happens the first time you integrate an LLM into a real system. Not a demo. Not a playground. An actual workflow with downstream dependencies.

That’s when the problem appears. The model talks too much, too loosely, too creatively. Suddenly your architecture depends on parsing paragraphs.

That’s where structured output changes everything.

re:Invent 2025 Day 4: Werner Vogels and the Renaissance Developer

This keynote wasn’t about services or features. It was about us. Our work. Our choices. Our future as builders.

It is the last full day of reInvent, and it ended with the kind of keynote only one person can pull off. Style. Philosophy. Code. And a message that doesn’t expire when the tech does. This wasn’t a roadmap or a list of launches. It was a challenge to every person who builds.

Dr. Werner Vogels took the stage one final time.
