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.

End-to-end lineage with DVC and Amazon SageMaker AI MLflow apps

In this post, we show how to combine DVC (Data Version Control), Amazon SageMaker AI, and Amazon SageMaker AI MLflow Apps to build end-to-end ML model lineage. We walk through two deployable patterns — dataset-level lineage and record-level lineage — that you can run in your own AWS account using the companion notebooks.

Accelerate Generative AI Inference on Amazon SageMaker AI with G7e Instances

Today, we are thrilled to announce the availability of G7e instances powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs on Amazon SageMaker AI. You can provision nodes with 1, 2, 4, and 8 RTX PRO 6000 GPU instances, with each GPU providing 96 GB of GDDR7 memory. This launch provides the capability to use a single-node GPU, G7e.2xlarge instance to host powerful open source foundation models (FMs) like GPT-OSS-120B, Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B (NVFP4 variant), and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, offering organizations a cost-effective and high-performing option.

ToolSimulator: scalable tool testing for AI agents

You can use ToolSimulator, an LLM-powered tool simulation framework within Strands Evals, to thoroughly and safely test AI agents that rely on external tools, at scale. Instead of risking live API calls that expose personally identifiable information (PII), trigger unintended actions, or settling for static mocks that break with multi-turn workflows, you can use ToolSimulator’s large language model (LLM)-powered simulations to validate your agents. Available today as part of the Strands Evals Software Development Kit (SDK), ToolSimulator helps you catch integration bugs early, test edge cases comprehensively, and ship production-ready agents with confidence.

Omnichannel ordering with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Amazon Nova 2 Sonic

In this post, we’ll show you how to build a complete omnichannel ordering system using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, an agentic platform, to build, deploy, and operate highly effective AI agents securely at scale using any framework and foundation model and Amazon Nova 2 Sonic.

Introducing granular cost attribution for Amazon Bedrock

In this post, we share how Amazon Bedrock’s granular cost attribution works and walk through example cost tracking scenarios.

Optimize video semantic search intent with Amazon Nova Model Distillation on Amazon Bedrock

In this post, we show you how to use Model Distillation, a model customization technique on Amazon Bedrock, to transfer routing intelligence from a large teacher model (Amazon Nova Premier) into a much smaller student model (Amazon Nova Micro). This approach cuts inference cost by over 95% and reduces latency by 50% while maintaining the nuanced routing quality that the task demands.

Power video semantic search with Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings

In this post, we show you how to build a video semantic search solution on Amazon Bedrock using Nova Multimodal Embeddings that intelligently understands user intent and retrieves accurate video results across all signal types simultaneously. We also share a reference implementation you can deploy and explore with your own content.

Nova Forge SDK series part 2: Practical guide to fine-tune Nova models using data mixing capabilities

This hands-on guide walks through every step of fine-tuning an Amazon Nova model with the Amazon Nova Forge SDK, from data preparation to training with data mixing to evaluation, giving you a repeatable playbook you can adapt to your own use case. This is the second part in our Nova Forge SDK series, building on the SDK introduction and first part, which covered kicking off customization experiments.
