Three Approaches to Agent Evaluation in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: Built-in, DeepEval, and AutoEval

When deploying an agent in production, ensuring it's effectively meeting business requirements at scale is a common challenge. Teams often rely on surface signals such as completion rates and latency, but these do not provide insight into whether the agent is finishing tasks, staying on topic, leaking PII, or accurately following intended steps. This issue is addressed through agent evaluation....

Creating Daily Dependency Monitor with LangGraph and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: A Web Search-Based Approach

In this summary, we highlight Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's new feature, the Web Search API. This API enables AI agents to access current web results through a single API call, using their existing AWS credentials. The results include titles, URLs, publication dates, and extracts relevant to the query, while users can also specify domain restrictions and publication date ranges. The Web Search API...

Amazon Bedrock: Achieving Single-Shot Retrieval with Managed Knowledge Base

An internal AI assistant in a banking operations context helps an employee with two different types of information requests. For a checklist lookup, the assistant uses single-shot Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) from Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base for a quick and single answer. For a cross-policy comparison between sole proprietorships, LLCs, and partnerships, the assistant uses age...

Fable 5.2 is Anthropic's most advanced model for technical work, handling ambiguous, multi-step problems in coding, math, and science. Mythos 5.2 is available for advanced cyber security and life sciences work through Anthropic's verification programs. Fable 5.2 excels at long-running agent...

Revolutionizing Robotics: An AI-Driven Platform Enables Reasoning Beyond Commands

MIT researchers have developed a new learning platform for robots that allows them to understand the larger meaning behind human language commands. The platform, called FLEX, enables robots to draw generalizations from natural language instructions and adapt their motion planning accordingly. Using a large language model, the robot can reason about context and avoid potential hazards without ex...

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL now on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Or

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL model, a 120B-parameter vision-language model with a hybrid language backbone and a vision encoder, is now accessible in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. The model, which accepts images, video, and text as input and generates text, supports context lengths of up to 1 million tokens and includes a built-in Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) head. NVIDIA designed Super VL for ...

CrossnoKaye Integrates Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for Grounding Physical Applications of AI

CrossnoKaye's industrial AI solution, ATLAS, connects and integrates live plant data and AI reasoning with closed-loop control of equipment in food and beverage plants, industrial refrigeration facilities, quarries, and manufacturing sites. The platform, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), manages facility models, base control software, historians, and optimization applications in one place. ...

Maximizing GPU Utilization with Multi-Instance Support in SageMaker Inference for Model Endpoints

When deploying machine learning models on Amazon SageMaker GPU endpoints, the smallest available GPU unit is a whole accelerator. This limitation results in increased costs as each deployment requires a full GPU, limiting the number of models that can be hosted on an instance and potentially leading to underutilization or overpaying for capabilities. Amazon SageMaker Inference now supports GPU ...

Predicting Molecular Behaviors from Limited Data: A New Approach

A new method for discovering new molecules with specific properties, developed at MIT, utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide initial guidance on which compounds to synthesize and test. The approach, called CheMeleon, was built using ChemProp and has already found success in the pharmaceutical industry, outperforming other existing methods in areas where data on a cert...

MIT Researchers Secure Funding for Advanced Alternatives to Common Weed Killers Development

MIT researchers, led by Christopher Voigt from the Department of Biological Engineering, will head a $53 million project funded by US Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop next-generation weed killers. Current herbicides, including glyphosate and atrazine, are vital for US agriculture but pose health concerns and risks due to resistance mutations. The research team, w...

CoRL 2023: NVIDIA and Partners Unveil Robot Training in Simulation for Precise Results

At the Conference on Robot Learning in Austin, Texas, researchers are advancing robot capabilities beyond locomotion to manipulation, using simulation to teach finer tasks like aligning gears and assembling components. NVIDIA is introducing open robotics technologies including world action models, simulation tools, benchmarks, and agentic workflows. Two NVIDIA papers, GRAIL and RoboTTT, are fin...

Artificial Intelligence Model Replicates Various Substance Behaviors: Sand Sliding to Protein Folding

Researchers from MIT, UBC, and other institutions have developed a deep-learning system called WorldParticle that allows scientists and engineers to model various physical phenomena using a single unified artificial intelligence architecture. The system represents every material as tiny particles and predicts where they will move one step at a time, adapting to materials, forces, and environmen...

Unraveling Agent Primitives in AWS Quick: A Taxonomic Approach

In this text, the author discusses the challenges of defining primitives in a system where agents take actions instead of just answering questions. The author mentions the repetition of ideas under different names, such as an actor, signal, packaged procedure, and memory. The author introduces a taxonomy of primitives based on the questions "When?", "What?", "Who?", and "How?". Triggers are dis...
