Claude Fable 5.1 is generally available on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US) and brings Anthropic's most capable frontier model to regulated industry customers. Fable 5.1 delivers frontier intelligence for ambitious tasks across coding, scientific research, and enterprise workflows. Claude Fable 5.1 is built for long-running, high-stakes work that runs for hours and spans many applications. It can own more of a software project on its own, handling features across an entire codebase, code review, and performance work over sessions that run for hours. If it gets stuck, it says so instead of reporting success, and it is less likely to take s…

AWS Lambda recursive loop detection has expanded support to all commercial AWS Regions. This feature, which is enabled by default, is a guardrail that automatically detects and stops recursive invocations between Lambda functions and other supported services, preventing runaway workloads. When using event sources such as Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SNS to trigger Lambda functions, a misconfiguration or code defect can cause events to be sent back to the same source that triggered the Lambda function, causing recursive loops, unintended usage, and unexpected billing. When such a loop is detected, Lambda recursive loop detection automati…

Amazon Aurora serverless now delivers up to 30% better performance and enhanced scaling in additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Africa (Cape Town), Europe (Milan), and Mexico (Central). These improvements are available for both Aurora PostgreSQL and Aurora MySQL. Aurora serverless is the autoscaling database that scales up to support your most demanding workloads and down to zero when you don't need it, so you only pay for what you actually use. The enhanced scaling algorithm efficiently handles workloads where multiple tasks compete for resources, such as busy web applications and API services. Togeth…

AWS Agent Registry is now generally available. It provides a private, governed catalog and discovery layer for agents, tools, skills, MCP servers, and custom resources within your organization. Teams get complete visibility into their AI landscape, so they can discover existing capabilities instead of rebuilding from scratch. Access it through the AWS Agent Registry console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. You can also discover and use registry resources from Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Quick, and Kiro IDE, so teams can find the right agents and tools without switching context. The console pairs semantic and keyword search with a dedicated browse …

The news that interested me the most last week was the DuckLabs acquisition. AWS has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DuckLabs, the Amsterdam-based company behind DuckDB, the popular open source analytical database that runs in-process and executes SQL directly against files like Parquet, CSV, and JSON. DuckDB stays open source under its independent foundation […]

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now automatically joins the Windows Server instances in your environment to an Active Directory domain that you manage with AWS Directory Service. Previously, running domain-joined Windows workloads on Elastic Beanstalk required custom join scripts that you had to maintain. With this launch, you set a few configuration options and every instance in the environment — including instances launched later by auto scaling — joins the domain at boot, before your application deploys, with no custom scripts. Domain-joined instances can use Windows-integrated authentication, apply group policy, and reach domain resources such as …

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8gn instances, powered by the latest-generation AWS Graviton4 processors, are available in the AWS Europe (Paris) region. The C8gn instances provide up to 30% better compute performance than Graviton3-based Amazon EC2 C7gn instances. Amazon EC2 C8gn instances feature the latest 6th generation AWS Nitro Cards, and offer up to 600 Gbps network bandwidth, the highest network bandwidth among network optimized EC2 instances. Take advantage of the enhanced networking capabilities of C8gn to scale performance and throughput, while optimizing the cost of running network-intensive workloads s…

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) P6-B300 instances are available in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions. P6-B300 instances provide 8xNVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with 2.1 TB high bandwidth GPU memory, 6.4 Tbps EFA networking, 300 Gbps dedicated ENA throughput, and 4 TB of system memory. P6-B300 instances deliver 2x networking bandwidth, 1.5x GPU memory size, and 1.5x GPU TFLOPS (at FP4, without sparsity) compared to P6-B200 instances, making them well suited to train and deploy large trillion-parameter foundation models (FMs) and large language models (LLMs) with sophisticated techniques.
