The Amazon Polly Generative engine gets a major upgrade: more expressive, more accurate speech with low latency, plus 14 new voices across 9 locales and general availability of Hindi and Finnish. This drop-in upgrade requires no code changes and is now generally available in production.

TwelveLabs Pegasus 1.5 is now available in Amazon Bedrock. The video language model turns long-form video into structured, timestamped metadata: define the moments that matter and get every matching segment back as JSON, with new video segmentation, multimodal prompting with reference images, and on-the-fly processing of up to two hours of video.

A monthly recap of the latest Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands updates from September 2026: broader model choice, faster serverless agents with built-in evaluation, and automated knowledge base syncing with native enterprise connectors.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments gives AI agents a managed way to pay for services on demand, with spending limits enforced by the infrastructure. See how Incarna’s agents pay BlockRun for model inference one request at a time over x402, cutting the work of adding x402 payment support from months to days.

The RPA-era ROI model misses most of the value agentic automation creates. This post gives AI center of excellence leaders a framework to size the full value of agents across time savings, exception handling, decision quality, and maintenance economics, and to prioritize which workflows to automate first.

With Live Data in Apps in Amazon Quick, AI-built apps query your governed Quick Sight datasets in real time instead of static, build-time snapshots. Each query runs as the person viewing the app, so row-level and column-level security apply per reader. Learn how to build, publish, and share a live-data app using natural language.

In this post, you will learn how to deploy and host your MCP server in AgentCore Runtime and integrate it with Amazon Quick, along with the prerequisites. With this pattern, you promote reusability and avoid duplication of AI tools, so clients can reuse commonly used tools and agents exposed through an MCP server instead of authoring them from scratch again. Your customers get a way to use your product inside Amazon Quick (chat agents and workflows) without building custom connectors for every use case.

We’re excited to share that AWS has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: AI Infrastructure Solutions, Q4 2025. In this evaluation of 13 providers, AWS received the highest score in the Strategy category.

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now offers managed Ray support on Amazon EKS. Create and monitor Ray clusters, connect JupyterLab and Code Editor notebooks to live clusters, get out-of-the-box observability, and run resilient distributed training and accelerated inference from SageMaker Studio, all with open-source KubeRay and standard Ray APIs.

AI agents can take actions that do not match your organization’s policies. Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore lets teams enforce controls across agents, now including time-based constraints. This post shows how Policy Authoring turns natural-language policy documents into correct Dogwood policies, with worked examples and best practices.
