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 […]

If there’s one theme that defined last week, it’s choice. The frontier models keep arriving, and the interesting question is no longer just “how smart is it?” but “which model fits this step, at this cost, at this latency?” That’s exactly what landed on Amazon Bedrock over the past few days: GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 […]

The news that interested me the most last week was the DuckLabs acquisition. AWS has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DuckLabs, the Amsterdam-based company behind DuckDB, the popular open source analytical database that runs in-process and executes SQL directly against files like Parquet, CSV, and JSON. DuckDB stays open source under its independent foundation […]

Last week I had the privilege of spending three days in São Paulo with technical builders from across Latin America, brought together for a regional tech event full of deep-dive sessions, hands-on workshops, and conversations with customers and partners. What struck me most wasn’t any single session, it was the energy of a technical community […]

A couple of editions ago I wrote about what I find so energizing about working with startups. Last week I got a fresh dose of it: I spent a few days with the AWS Startups team, listening to stories of founders talking about the problems they’re actually solving. One story that stayed with me came […]

AWS launches Amazon SageMaker Inference for custom Amazon Nova models. You can now configure the instance types, auto-scaling policies, and concurrency settings for custom Nova model deployments to best meet their needs.

Accelerate AI model development with new training features that enable rapid recovery from failures and automatic scaling based on resource availability.

New program gives organizations unprecedented access to Nova model training, enabling them to build custom frontier models that deeply embed domain expertise without the traditional barriers of cost, compute, and time.
