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.

Can your governance keep pace with your AI ambitions? AI risk intelligence in the agentic era

Traditional frameworks designed for static deployments cannot address the dynamic interactions that define agentic workloads. AI Risk Intelligence (AIRI), from AWS Generative AI Innovation Center, provides the automated rigor required to govern agents at enterprise scale—a fundamental reimagining of how security, operations, and governance work together systemically.

How Ring scales global customer support with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases

In this post, you’ll learn how Ring implemented metadata-driven filtering for Region-specific content, separated content management into ingestion, evaluation and promotion workflows, and achieved cost savings while scaling up.

Reimagine marketing at Volkswagen Group with generative AI

In this post, we explore the challenges that Volkswagen Group faced in producing brand-compliant marketing assets at scale. We walk through how we built a generative AI solution that generates photorealistic vehicle images, validates technical accuracy at the component level, and helps enforce brand guideline compliance alignment across the ten brands.

Build a solar flare detection system on SageMaker AI LSTM networks and ESA STIX data

In this post, we show you how to use Amazon SageMaker AI to build and deploy a deep learning model for detecting solar flares using data from the European Space Agency’s STIX instrument.

Deliver hyper-personalized viewer experiences with an agentic AI movie assistant using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Amazon Nova Sonic 2.0

In this post, we walk through two use cases that help enhance the user viewing experience using agentic AI tools and frameworks including Strands Agents SDK, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Amazon Nova Sonic 2.0. This agentic AI system uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to deliver a personal entertainment concierge that understands user preferences through natural dialogue.

Run Generative AI inference with Amazon Bedrock in Asia Pacific (New Zealand)

Today, we’re excited to announce that Amazon Bedrock is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region (ap-southeast-6). Customers in New Zealand can now access Anthropic Claude models (Claude Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5) and Amazon (Nova 2 Lite) models directly in the Auckland Region with cross region inference. In this post, we explore how cross-Region inference works from the New Zealand Region, the models available through geographic and global routing, and how to get started with your first API call. We

Building age-responsive, context-aware AI with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails

In this post, we walk you through how to implement a fully automated, context-aware AI solution using a serverless architecture on AWS. This solution helps organizations looking to deploy responsible AI systems, align with compliance requirements for vulnerable populations, and help maintain appropriate and trustworthy AI responses across diverse user groups without compromising performance or governance.

Accelerating LLM fine-tuning with unstructured data using SageMaker Unified Studio and S3

Last year, AWS announced an integration between Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and Amazon S3 general purpose buckets. This integration makes it straightforward for teams to use unstructured data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for machine learning (ML) and data analytics use cases. In this post, we show how to integrate S3 general purpose buckets with Amazon SageMaker Catalog to fine-tune Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct for visual question answering (VQA) using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio.

Introducing Amazon Polly Bidirectional Streaming: Real-time speech synthesis for conversational AI

Today, we’re excited to announce the new Bidirectional Streaming API for Amazon Polly, enabling streamlined real-time text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis where you can start sending text and receiving audio simultaneously. This new API is built for conversational AI applications that generate text or audio incrementally, like responses from large language models (LLMs), where users must begin synthesizing audio before the full text is available.
