Universal Containers’ data science team is hosting a generative large language model (LLM) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). What should the team use to…

Model Builder, a key component of the Einstein 1 Studio, is the designated tool within the Salesforce Platform for integrating and managing various AI models. Its primary function is to serve as a central hub for connecting to both Salesforce's native models and externally-hosted models. This includes bringing in "your own model" (BYOM) from third-party platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Vertex AI, or connecting to foundation models from providers like OpenAI. Therefore, to access an LLM hosted on AWS, the data science team would use Model Builder to establish the connection and make the model available for use within Salesforce applications.

B. App Builder is a declarative tool used for creating and customizing user interfaces for Salesforce applications. It does not have capabilities for integrating external AI models.

C. Copilot Builder is used to create custom AI assistants and define their actions and prompts. It consumes models that are already connected via Model Builder, but it is not the tool used to establish the connection itself.

Einstein Studio: "Model Builder lets you bring your own predictive AI model (BYOM) from platforms such as Amazon SageMaker

Google Vertex AI

and others. You can also connect to large language models (LLMs) from OpenAI

Anthropic

and Cohere

and more." (See section: Model Builder).

2. Salesforce Help Documentation

Connect to External LLMs with Model Builder: "To use a large language model (LLM) that’s hosted outside of Salesforce

create a connection in Model Builder. You can connect to models hosted on Amazon Bedrock

Amazon SageMaker

Google Vertex AI

or to models that are accessible through an OpenAI API." (See section: Connect to External LLMs with Model Builder).
