A family of four foundation models designed to meet diverse enterprise needs across reasoning, multimodal processing, and real-time conversational AI.
How agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.
Reasoning models can generate seven to 10 times as many tokens as necessary on simple tasks, creating unsustainable costs at scale. Amazon's vision for metacognitive AI could fundamentally shift how models allocate computational resources.
Amazon's competitive-agent architecture creates a continuous improvement cycle that develops security protections at machine speed, reducing what typically takes weeks down to hours.
A new approach to reducing carbon emissions reveals previously hidden emission “hotspots” within value chains, helping organizations make more detailed and dynamic decisions about their future carbon footprints.

2025Fine-tuning vision language models (VLMs) has achieved remarkable performance across various downstream tasks, yet, it requires access to model gradients through backpropagation (BP), making them unsuitable for memory-constrained, inference-only edge devices. To address this limitation, previous work has explored various BP-free fine-tuning methods. However, these approaches often rely on high-variance

2025Text-to-SQL systems translate natural language (NL) questions into SQL queries, enabling non-technical users to interact with structured data. While large language models (LLMs) have shown promising results on the text-to-SQL task, they often produce semantically incorrect yet syntactically valid queries, with limited insight into their reliability. We propose SQLENS, an end-to-end framework for fine-grained

2025As machine learning (ML) systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains, the need for robust methods to assess fairness has become more critical. While statistical fairness metrics are widely used due to their simplicity, they are limited in their ability to explain why disparities occur, as they rely on associative relationships in the data. In contrast, causal fairness metrics aim to uncover

arXiv2025Despite rapid progress in LLM agents, performance on long-horizon, tool-using tasks remains fragile. To better understand this fragility, we ask a simple question: do all actions contribute equally to failure? Analyzing execution traces on τ-Bench (Airline/Retail) and SWE-Bench Verified, we decompose trajectories into mutating (environment-changing) vs. non-mutating steps and formalize de-cisive deviations—earliest

NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Evaluating the Evolving LLM Lifecycle2025Error attribution in Large Language Model (LLM) multi-agent systems presents a significant challenge in debugging and improving collaborative AI systems. Current approaches to pinpointing agent and step level failures in multi-agent interaction traces—whether using all-at-once evaluation, step-by-step analysis, or binary search—fall short when analyzing complex patterns, struggling with both accuracy and
