AWS Weekly Roundup

AWS Weekly Roundup: Amazon Polly Generative engine, TorchNeuron for Trainium, and more (October 26, 2026)

A few weeks ago I presented to a small group of commercial and technology leaders from Brazilian agribusiness at the AWS office in São Paulo. My talk ran through where generative AI fits across the different stages of an agribusiness operation, and the point I kept returning to is that the markets we call traditional […]

AWS Weekly Roundup

AWS Weekly Roundup: AWS Lambda Web Functions, Amazon S3 on the Vercel Marketplace, and more (October 19, 2026)

Nothing last week added a new kind of compute. What it did instead was shorten the distance between the code you already have and that code being live. AWS Lambda learned to run a plain HTTP server with no adapter in front of it, and Amazon S3 became something you can provision from inside the […]

AWS Weekly Roundup

AWS Weekly Roundup: Prime Day 2026 by the numbers, Claude Haiku 5.5, Amazon Nova 2.5 Sonic, and more (October 13, 2026)

Some numbers are hard to picture until you sit with them for a moment. Last week we published the Prime Day 2026 metrics, and the one that stuck with me is 2.3 quadrillion: the daily requests Amazon ElastiCache peaked at during the event. Prime Day ran back in June, so this post always lands as […]

AWS Weekly Roundup: GPT-6 Sol and Luna, Claude Opus 5.5 on Amazon Bedrock, Strands harness, and more (September 28, 2026)

If there’s one theme that defined last week, it’s choice. The frontier models keep arriving, and the interesting question is no longer just “how smart is it?” but “which model fits this step, at this cost, at this latency?” That’s exactly what landed on Amazon Bedrock over the past few days: GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 […]

AWS Weekly Roundup: AWS Builder Center mobile apps, Amazon Connect Talent GA, Amazon Corretto 27, and more (September 21, 2026)

Living in the Netherlands, I spend a fair amount of time on trains, and that is usually where I catch up on what the builder community is writing. Until now, that meant opening a laptop or squinting at a browser tab on my phone. This week I found myself scrolling through trending articles and checking […]

AWS Weekly Roundup: OpenAI GPT-6 Astra on Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Quick desktop GA, Kiro for students, and more (September 14, 2026)

There’s a particular energy to mid-September in New York. Pumpkin spice lattes are flowing, temperatures are dropping, and it’s nearly sweater weather. The city is back at full speed, and so is the AWS launch calendar. This week that energy showed up in a new frontier model on Amazon Bedrock, a desktop app for Amazon […]
