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.
Customize Amazon Nova models with Amazon Bedrock fine-tuning
In this post, we’ll walk you through a complete implementation of model fine-tuning in Amazon Bedrock using Amazon Nova models, demonstrating each step through an intent classifier example that achieves superior performance on a domain specific task. Throughout this guide, you’ll learn to prepare high-quality training data that drives meaningful model improvements, configure hyperparameters to optimize learning without overfitting, and deploy your fine-tuned model for improved accuracy and reduced latency. We’ll show you how to evaluate your results using training metrics and loss curves.
Human-in-the-loop constructs for agentic workflows in healthcare and life sciences
In healthcare and life sciences, AI agents help organizations process clinical data, submit regulatory filings, automate medical coding, and accelerate drug development and commercialization. However, the sensitive nature of healthcare data and regulatory requirements like Good Practice (GxP) compliance require human oversight at key decision points. This is where human-in-the-loop (HITL) constructs become essential. In this post, you will learn four practical approaches to implementing human-in-the-loop constructs using AWS services.
Building intelligent audio search with Amazon Nova Embeddings: A deep dive into semantic audio understanding
This post walks you through understanding audio embeddings, implementing Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings, and building a practical search system for your audio content. You’ll learn how embeddings represent audio as vectors, explore the technical capabilities of Amazon Nova, and see hands-on code examples for indexing and querying your audio libraries. By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to deploy production-ready audio search capabilities.
Reinforcement fine-tuning on Amazon Bedrock: Best practices
In this post, we explore where RFT is most effective, using the GSM8K mathematical reasoning dataset as a concrete example. We then walk through best practices for dataset preparation and reward function design, show how to monitor training progress using Amazon Bedrock metrics, and conclude with practical hyperparameter tuning guidelines informed by experiments across multiple models and use cases.
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.
Text-to-SQL solution powered by Amazon Bedrock
In this post, we show you how to build a natural text-to-SQL solution using Amazon Bedrock that transforms business questions into database queries and returns actionable answers.
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.
