YES! It's out it's out, I am SO excited for this! #AWSLambda Web Functions are a game changer! A true HTTP request handler and Each execution environment handles multiple requests simultaneously (up to 128 concurrent requests per environment). Multi-region deploy, and so much more! -> aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ann…

Chatted with Liam Greenamyre, Principal PM of Dev Platforms @awscloud, about the AWS Agent Toolkit for this @redmonk New Builders episode. I was especially interested in his musings on AI's impact on orgs, beyond just the technical capabilities of LLMs redmonk.com/videos/liam-gree…

Today AWS open sourced Strands Box, a local sandbox for AI agents. @MarcJBrooker wrote a super in-depth post on the design tradeoffs, how OS-level containment and Dogwood enable richer policies, and AWS’s investment in agent safety. Def worth a read:

Claude Opus 5 scores 30% on ARC-AGI-3 on its own. Wrapped in an agent harness built with Strands, it scored 99.95%. I dug through the open source code to see how it works:

Kiro powers now support Agent Plugins. ⚡
No more packaging the same skill three different ways for three different clients. Publish once to the open specification (built by AWS, Cursor, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel), install anywhere the standard is supported. Existing powers still work, nothing breaks.
