We’re excited to introduce US-based frontier open-weight models in AWS GovCloud (US). With this release, Amazon Bedrock now supports OpenAI’s open-weight GPT OSS models (120B and 20B) and NVIDIA Nemotron (Nano 9B v2, Nano 12B v2, Nano 30B, Super 120B) models. In this post, we cover these models and their capabilities, the inference options for data residency, the available service tiers and how to get started.

It’s our goal for AWS to be the most secure place to run any workload, and in support of that we’ve been deeply investing in security across our services since AWS’s inception more than two decades ago. Our AI services like Amazon Bedrock are built on this foundation and with the same focus. 

Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of Anthropic’s most advanced Sonnet model, Claude Sonnet 5, on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. Claude Sonnet 5 is the first Sonnet model of Anthropic’s latest generation and represents a meaningful step forward. It delivers top-tier intelligence at Sonnet pricing for coding, agents, and everyday professional […]

Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now generally available. In this post, we walk through what makes Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore different, why it matters, and how to wire it in with a few lines of code.

Amazon SageMaker AI provides fully managed real-time inference hosting for machine learning models. You deploy a model to a SageMaker endpoint backed by one or more compute instances, and SageMaker handles provisioning and scaling. SageMaker supports multiple endpoint architectures. This post focuses on the two most relevant to generative AI workloads with detailed observability: Single-model endpoints (SME) and Inference component (IC) endpoints.

Today, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness is generally available. Two API calls (CreateHarness to define an agent, and InvokeHarness to run it), and you have an agent running in seconds. The agent runs in its own isolated environment with a filesystem and shell, so it can read files, run commands, and write code safely. It remembers users and conversations across sessions, picks up skills you point it at (including the AWS-curated catalog), browses the web, calls your tools through gateway or MCP, and switches model providers mid-session without losing context. Every step streams back to you in real time and is automatically traced to Amazon CloudWatch. You don’t need to write orchestration code or build a container, unless you want to.

Today, we’re announcing inline payload support for Amazon SageMaker AI Async Inference. Customers can now send inference payloads directly in the request body of the InvokeEndpointAsync API, removing the need to upload input data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) before each invocation.

Today, Quick gets even more powerful: new autonomous agents that work continuously on your behalf, an activity feed that helps you prioritize your most important work, and the ability to find insights across every data source your business runs on from a single question.

Agents are only as intelligent as the context they can reason over. Today, that context is scattered across data lakes, data warehouses, lakehouses, databases, and streams, and in institutional knowledge that has never been written down. You want to trust the decisions made by your AI agents, but that can’t happen until agents have context. Imagine what becomes possible when we give agents a safe way to access the context they need to deliver trusted decisions. This is why at the AWS Summit New York City, we’re announcing a series of innovations that deliver intelligence for your data and AI agents at scale.

Today we’re introducing new capabilities on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, the platform to build, connect, and optimize agents. In this post, we cover how these capabilities close each gap: connecting agents to organizational, web, and paid knowledge; helping teams find and fix what’s going wrong in production; and enforcing controls that scale as agents grow more capable. Together, they help you build more capable agents faster, govern them with controls that scale, and improve them continuously.
