Kimi K3 Lands on Amazon Bedrock

What's new: Moonshot AI Kimi K3 is generally available in Amazon Bedrock, with vision, one million token context, and explicit prompt caching.

Business value

Teams can deploy long-context and multimodal workflows through Bedrock controls while reducing repeated-context inference work where prompt caching is effective.

Request POC for this use case

AgentCore Runtime V2 Reworks Agent Scaling

What's new: AWS introduced a new AgentCore Runtime that pages memory on demand, reclaims unused memory, and starts instances from healthy snapshots.

Business value

Production agents can use less reserved memory and achieve more consistent startup behavior without teams maintaining warm capacity for every workload.

Request POC for this use case

03

HyperPod Adds GPU-Aware Inference Routing

What's new: SageMaker HyperPod Inference Gateway routes requests using model payloads and live GPU signals, including cache utilization, queues, adapters, and active requests.

Business value

Shared model-serving fleets can route around cache and capacity conditions, reducing custom routing logic and pressure to over-provision GPUs.

Request POC for this use case
04

Foundry A2A Connections Reach General Availability

What's new: Microsoft Foundry Agent Service made its A2A tool for Agent2Agent protocol 1.0 generally available, enabling connections to remote agent endpoints.

Business value

Teams can compose specialist agents across systems while centralizing credentials, versioning, policies, and Azure governance through reusable toolboxes.

Request POC for this use case
05

AgentCore Runtime V2 Is Generally Available

What's new: AWS made the next-generation Bedrock AgentCore Runtime generally available, adding elastic memory reclamation and snapshot-based startup in serverless microVMs.

Business value

Bursty containerized agents can improve responsiveness and reduce idle-memory cost variability while retaining hardware-enforced session isolation.

Request POC for this use case
06

Claude Code Adds Server-Side Auto Classifier

What's new: Claude Code v2.1.278 defaults eligible Enterprise, API, Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and gateway deployments to a server-side Auto mode safety classifier.

Business value

Security teams can verify classifier status and identify billed fallback paths, improving control over autonomous coding-agent permissions and usage behavior.

Request POC for this use case
07

Google Cloud Previews Native BM25 Retrieval

What's new: Google Cloud previewed native BM25 indexing for AlloyDB and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, enabling keyword search alongside vector retrieval.

Business value

RAG systems can combine semantic search with exact identifier matching without operating a separate full-text search backend.

Request POC for this use case
08

Huawei Refreshes AI Data Center Stack

What's new: Huawei introduced OceanStor M900 storage, new AI data center network components, and an enterprise AI compute operations solution with iSoftStone.

Business value

AI infrastructure teams can assess an integrated stack for cluster storage, high-bandwidth networking, and operational foundations in dedicated AI estates.

Request POC for this use case
09

Huawei Extends Stellar AI Network

What's new: Huawei upgraded Stellar AI Network across fabric, WAN, and campus environments, adding switches, lossless WAN capabilities, AI operations, and security guardrails.

Business value

Network teams can evaluate AI-specific connectivity and threat controls for distributed compute, local data handling, model serving, and agent workloads.

Request POC for this use case
10

Resilience Hub Adds AI Dependency Insights

What's new: AWS Resilience Hub added generative AI dependency insights, EKS namespace-label scoping, and AWS Organizations policy sharing for resilience programs.

Business value

SRE teams can identify unusual or cross-Region dependencies and apply more consistent resilience policies across multi-account Kubernetes estates.

Request POC for this use case
11

Huawei Expands O3 Partner Services

What's new: Huawei evolved its O3 Partner Service Enablement Platform as SaaS and introduced five AI-enabled solutions spanning networks, compute, operations, banking, and skills.

Business value

Service providers can standardize delivery workflows for infrastructure operations, network migration, AI compute lifecycle services, and industry-specific managed services.

Request POC for this use case
12

Bigtable Subscriptions Enter Preview

What's new: Google Cloud previewed Bigtable subscriptions, which write Pub/Sub messages directly into Bigtable and support dead-letter topics for managed event delivery.

Business value

Data-platform teams can simplify ingestion of model telemetry and real-time context data by removing a separate ETL pipeline from selected architectures.

Request POC for this use case
13

Alibaba Cloud OpenAgent Reaches General Availability

What's new: Alibaba Cloud made OpenAgent generally available for natural-language cloud operations, including landing-zone setup, deployment, threat inspection, and cost analysis.

Business value

Cloud teams can automate repeatable operations while retaining high-risk approvals, security baselines, cost estimates, and ActionTrail audit records.

Request POC for this use case
14

Gong Adds Governed AI Agent Controls

What's new: Gong added natural-language agent creation, file-grounded context, research reports, AI data permissions, MCP connection controls, and credit administration capabilities.

Business value

Revenue teams can build playbook-grounded agents while administrators limit connector access, delegate extraction controls, and monitor AI credit consumption.
