Building intelligent physical AI: From edge to cloud with Strands Agents, Bedrock AgentCore, Claude 4.5, NVIDIA GR00T, and Hugging Face LeRobot

Agentic AI systems are rapidly expanding beyond the digital world and into the physical, where AI agents perceive, reason, and act in real environments. As AI systems increasingly interact with the physical world through robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, a fundamental question emerges: how do we build agents that leverage massive cloud compute for […]

Shaping the future of MCP: AWS’s commitment and vision

AWS is excited to continue our support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) as it moves under the Linux Foundation.  This move enables us, our partners, and our customers to be more confident in the long-term success of the protocol which has become a standard  component of agentic architectures. By open sourcing MCP in 2024, Anthropic […]

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 4: Inter-Agent Communication on A2A

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 4: Inter-Agent Communication on A2A

Welcome to Part 4 of our blog series on Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability where we will cover the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, AWS’ involvement with the Linux Foundation-based open standard, and our support of A2A in the Strands Agents SDK. Here is what we’ve covered so far: Part 1: How the Model Context Protocol (MCP) […]

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 2: Authentication on MCP

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 2: Authentication on MCP

In Part 1 of our blog series on Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability we covered how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be used to facilitate inter-agent communication and the MCP specification enhancements AWS is working on to enable that. In Part 2 of this blog series we dive deep into authentication in the latest […]

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 1: Inter-Agent Communication on MCP

Open Protocols for Agent Interoperability Part 1: Inter-Agent Communication on MCP

At AWS, open standards run deep in our DNA, driving all that we do. That’s why we decided to build Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) as a protocol-agnostic cloud computing service and Amazon SageMaker as a framework-agnostic deep learning service. Our commitment to openness continues as we enter the agentic AI era, extending to inter-agent […]

Introducing Strands Agents, an Open Source AI Agents SDK

Introducing Strands Agents, an Open Source AI Agents SDK

Today I am happy to announce we are releasing Strands Agents. Strands Agents is an open source SDK that takes a model-driven approach to building and running AI agents in just a few lines of code. Strands scales from simple to complex agent use cases, and from local development to deployment in production. Multiple teams […]
