GPT-6 Astra from OpenAI is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. It brings deeper reasoning and sharper judgment to your most demanding tasks, running on the Amazon Bedrock inference engine built for high performance, security, and scale.

Pathway’s Baby Dragon Hatchling (BDH) is a brain-inspired, post-transformer architecture that reasons in latent space instead of emitting chain-of-thought tokens. See how Pathway develops and scales BDH on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, and how BDH-CQ set a new cost-efficiency mark on the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark.

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now supports feature-level writes. With the new UpdateRecord API, you can update one or more feature values in a single call without reading or rewriting the entire record. It is available for both the Standard (Amazon DynamoDB) and In-Memory (Amazon ElastiCache) online store tiers.

Governing models across accounts is the next step after automatic model registration. This post extends managed MLflow and Amazon SageMaker AI Model Registry sync to two cross-account governance topologies: a hub-and-spoke pattern that centralizes governance with AWS RAM, and a hybrid pattern that keeps development accounts isolated.

Managed MLflow on Amazon SageMaker AI now syncs richer model metadata (training metrics, evaluation results, inference specs, and lineage) into the SageMaker AI Model Registry, with lifecycle stage promotion. Part 1 shows how to govern candidate models in a single account using IAM guardrails.

Australian teams can now access OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models on Amazon Bedrock with global cross-Region inference from the Asia Pacific (Sydney) and Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Regions. This post shows how to invoke the models, use prompt caching, set up Codex with OpenID Connect authentication, and monitor usage with Amazon CloudWatch.

Claude Fable 5.1 is now available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. This post covers Claude Fable 5.1’s improvements, the Enterprise Frontier Safeguards for keeping your data in a cloud environment you control, and how to start building with the model on Amazon Bedrock.

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.

AWS Agent Registry is now generally available: a single, searchable, governed catalog for the agents, tools, skills, and custom resources across your organization. This post explains what Registry is and walks through its publishing, curation, and discovery workflows, plus enterprise considerations and what’s next.

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now supports two new APIs: BatchWriteRecord writes up to 25 records across multiple feature groups in a single call, and ListRecords enumerates record identifiers within a feature group. In this post, we walk through each API with code examples you can use to get started.
