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.

Manage AI costs with Amazon Bedrock Projects

With Amazon Bedrock Projects, you can attribute inference costs to specific workloads and analyze them in AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Data Exports. In this post, you will learn how to set up Projects end-to-end, from designing a tagging strategy to analyzing costs.

Building real-time conversational podcasts with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic

This post walks through building an automated podcast generator that creates engaging conversations between two AI hosts on any topic, demonstrating the streaming capabilities of Nova Sonic, stage-aware content filtering, and real-time audio generation.

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.
