AWS Weekly Roundup: Amazon Polly Generative engine, TorchNeuron for Trainium, and more (October 26, 2026)

AWS Weekly Roundup: AWS Lambda Web Functions, Amazon S3 on the Vercel Marketplace, and more (October 19, 2026)
Nothing last week added a new kind of compute. What it did instead was shorten the distance between the code you already have and that code being live. AWS Lambda learned to run a plain HTTP server with no adapter in front of it, and Amazon S3 became something you can provision from inside the […]

AWS Weekly Roundup: GPT-6 Sol and Luna, Claude Opus 5.5 on Amazon Bedrock, Strands harness, and more (September 28, 2026)
If there’s one theme that defined last week, it’s choice.
