AWS launches frontier agents for security testing and cloud operations

I’m excited to announce that AWS Security Agent on-demand penetration testing and AWS DevOps Agent are now generally available, representing a new class of AI capabilities we announced at re:Invent called frontier agents. These autonomous systems work independently to achieve goals, scale massively to tackle concurrent tasks, and run persistently for hours or days without constant human oversight. Together, these agents are changing the way we secure and operate software. In preview, customers and partners report that AWS Security Agent compresses penetration testing timelines from weeks to hours and the AWS DevOps Agent supports 3–5x faster incident resolution.

Build AI-powered employee onboarding agents with Amazon Quick

In this post, we walk through building a custom HR onboarding agent with Quick. We show how to configure an agent that understands your organization’s processes, connects to your HR systems, and automates common tasks, such as answering new-hire questions and tracking document completion.

Accelerate agentic tool calling with serverless model customization in Amazon SageMaker AI

In this post, we walk through how we fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct for tool calling using RLVR. We cover dataset preparation across three distinct agent behaviors, reward function design with tiered scoring, training configuration and results interpretation, evaluation on held-out data with unseen tools, and deployment.

Building Intelligent Search with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch for hybrid RAG solutions

In this post, we show how to implement a generative AI agentic assistant that uses both semantic and text-based search using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Strands Agents and Amazon OpenSearch.

From isolated alerts to contextual intelligence: Agentic maritime anomaly analysis with generative AI

This blog post demonstrates how Windward helps enhance and accelerate alert investigation processes by combining geospatial intelligence with generative AI, enabling analysts to focus on decision-making rather than data collection.

Connecting MCP servers to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway using Authorization Code flow

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway provides a centralized layer for managing how AI agents connect to tools and MCP servers across your organization. In this post, we walk through how to configure AgentCore Gateway to connect to an OAuth-protected MCP server using the Authorization Code flow.

Scaling seismic foundation models on AWS: Distributed training with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and expanding context windows

This post describes how TGS achieved near-linear scaling for distributed training and expanded context windows for their Vision Transformer-based SFM using Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. This joint solution cut training time from 6 months to just 5 days while enabling analysis of seismic volumes larger than previously possible.

Rocket Close transforms mortgage document processing with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Textract

Through a strategic partnership with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC), Rocket Close developed an intelligent document processing solution that has significantly reduced processing time, making the process 15 times faster. The solution, which uses Amazon Textract for OCR processing and Amazon Bedrock for foundation models (FMs), achieves a strong 90% overall accuracy in document segmentation, classification, and field extraction.
