Amazon published a guide on using Anthropic's Claude Code agentic coding tool with Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. The post covers setting up Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5 models on Bedrock, which hold FedRAMP Class D certification and DoD IL4/IL5 authorization. It provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the environment, including prerequisites and installation commands.

Amazon SageMaker AI introduced the aws-ai-ml skill, available through the Agent Toolkit for AWS, which gives coding agents such as Kiro, Claude Code, and Codex expertise in inference optimization and benchmarking. The skill allows agents to benchmark endpoints, recommend deployment configurations, compare performance runs, and generate executable SageMaker Python SDK v3 code. It can be installed locally or used within Amazon SageMaker Studio.

Amazon published a guide for automating cross-account promotion of Amazon Quick resources (chat agents, action connectors, knowledge bases, flows, and spaces) using a sample MCP server hosted on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The solution is idempotent, auditable, and copies permissions faithfully by reading source resources via the Amazon Quick API and recreating them in a target AWS account. The full source code is available in the aws-samples repository.

Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports agentic retrieval, which breaks a multi-part question into sub-queries, runs them, judges whether it has enough evidence, and searches again if it doesn't. The langchain-aws package exposes both agentic and standard retrieval, allowing LangChain applications to use either method. The AgenticRetrieveStream API runs a planning loop and streams trace events back to the user.

Amazon published a guide on downgrading user roles in Amazon Quick, covering why to downgrade (least privilege and cost savings), prerequisites, and two methods: manual deletion-and-recreation and using the AWS CLI. The console does not support direct downgrades from Admin or Author to Reader, so the CLI step-down sequence (Admin > Author > Restricted Reader > Reader) is required for legacy BI roles.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations, a fully managed capability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, enables teams to assess agent performance across development and production by measuring accuracy, task success, and behavior across multiple quality dimensions. It supports both built-in evaluators for common dimensions like helpfulness and task success, and custom evaluators for domain-specific validation such as explainability and constraint satisfaction. The solution also integrates with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails for safety controls during execution.

PerplexityCapability change· 8h ago

Perplexity's Agent API now reports token usage and cost for sandbox extraction calls, broken down per model and including cache and reasoning-token dimensions. The update corrects response-level reporting without changing pricing or backfilling historical data.

OpenAI announced its phased approach to text watermarking in response to the EU AI Act. Starting today, API customers globally can opt in to text watermarking for select models, and over the coming weeks an invisible watermark will be added to eligible ChatGPT and Codex text output in the European Union. The company also opened applications for access to its text watermark detector, initially limited to approved researchers and expert organizations.

Cresta built Conductor, a natural language agent builder that helps teams create production-ready customer experience agents. Conductor uses the Claude Agent SDK as a general-purpose harness to gather context, use tools, write and run code, and adapt based on results. Cresta reports that in early use cases, Conductor cut initial deployment time roughly in half.

AppleResearch paper· 13h ago

Apple researchers designed two open-ended probes using a Wizard of Oz technique to let people train personalized machine learning systems on phenomena they define themselves. In a week-long study, they identified four sites where ontological boundaries were negotiated: the boundaries of a phenomenon, the subject as part of relations, what counts as signal versus noise, and the objectivity of data. The paper offers starting points for supporting boundary negotiation through design and discusses open-ended probes as a method for ontological design.

CognitionCapability change· 1 day ago

Cognition introduced Memory and Dreaming for its AI software engineer Devin. Memory allows Devin to retain user preferences, corrections, and project lessons across sessions, stored in a personal Git repository. Dreaming is a daily background process that deduplicates, links, and refines these memories to improve future sessions.

Cohere· 17h ago

North 2 is Cohere’s biggest upgrade yet — unifying enterprise‑grade security, intelligence, cost governance, and full‑stack control into a single agentic AI platform that runs wherever your data lives. Key takeaways New agent harness: North 2 has a redesigned orchestration system enabling more sophisticated, reliable, multi-step automations and agents across the enterprise. Increased intelligence: Build smarter workflows and richer agent chat experiences using memory, libraries, skills, artifact, and app creation. Model agnostic: Whether you’re using Cohere’s models — or bringing your own — use the models that support your team’s best work. AI sovereignty: You’ll get full control over where and how AI runs, with flexible cloud, on‑premises, and air‑gapped deployments. Enterprise governance: North admin adds granular cost controls, rate limits, user quotas, and org-wide caps for predictable, governed AI operations. For the past few years, enterprises have been racing to deploy agentic AI, and they’ve paid for it in complexity, cost, and compromise. …

Google Research published a workshop report identifying open research problems in agentic privacy and security. The report applies Contextual Integrity theory to define privacy as appropriate information flow and proposes a multi-layered approach including a contextual policy engine to evaluate the appropriateness of agent actions before execution.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women — yet the gaps in care are wide. A majority of women over age 40 skip the recommended annual screening. Radiologists are reading more mammograms with fewer colleagues. And when a diagnosis arrives, the tests that inform treatment can take weeks to return results. Companies in the NVIDIA Inception program for startups are building AI applications to support clinicians at each of these friction points, including imaging, risk assessment and treatment planning. About 40 million mammograms are performed in the U.S. each year, but a projected shortfall of tens of thousands of radiologists over the next decade is straining the system’s capacity to read them. At the other end of the care timeline, treatment decisions often hinge on genomic assays sent off to outside labs — assays that take weeks to process, at a moment when speed and certainty matter most. The companies below are addressing both ends of that gap, and everything in between, accelerated by NVIDIA AI infrastructure. Automated Imaging Delivers AI-Powered Insights …
