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 […]

Organizations building event-driven applications on Amazon EventBridge typically start with a single custom event bus in one account. This works well when a single team owns the architecture. As adoption grows across the organization, though, things get complicated. AWS best practices recommend a multi-account structure, which means each team runs in its own account. To […]

Estimated wasted cloud spend rose in 2026 for the first time in five years. Flexera’s 2026 State of the Cloud Report, based on 753 cloud decision-makers, puts that waste at 29% of spend, even as more organizations staff FinOps teams and talk about business value rather than discounts. That combination is the story. The discipline […]

Amazon CloudWatch now offers CloudWatch Omni, an AI-powered observability experience for the applications and AI agents you run together. You reach Omni through a dedicated URL for your organization and sign in with the identities you already manage, so working in Omni does not require access to the AWS Management Console. Omni is built on […]

CloudWatch Omni is a purpose-built observability, evaluation, and experimentation solution for AI agents. It helps teams design, evaluate, and operate AI agents across any model provider, framework, or runtime, […]

Unapproved generative AI is already in daily work. Spotting it means watching prompts, SaaS, and endpoints. Managing it means sanctioned tools people will actually use, plus controls that treat paste as a data path. A product manager drops last quarter’s forecast into a free chatbot to “clean up the story.” A developer pastes an internal […]

Everyone has read the AI failure story by now. MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots deliver no measurable P&L impact, with only about 5% reaching production at scale. RAND put a number on the pattern behind that: interviewing 65 data scientists and engineers, it found that more than 80% of […]

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 […]

Generative AI is raising success rates on fraud, impersonation, and intrusion by making those attacks cheaper and harder to dismiss as fake. The FBI now tracks AI-linked internet crime as its own category. In 2025 the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center recorded 22,364 complaints that referenced artificial intelligence, with reported losses of nearly $893 million. […]
