Introducing Our Smallest, Most Efficient Model: Muse Ember Meta AI just launched their entry in the Claude Haiku/GPT Luna category: Muse Ember, which they describe as: [...] our smallest and most efficient model designed for complex reasoning execution and the work agents repeat all day: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, and long document parsing.
Repeatable tasks like status updates, release notes, and ticket creation can be encoded in AWS Quick through agents and skills. This post covers how agents, skills, and your data fit together in AWS Quick, how to build and share skills for your team, and how the official catalog and custom agents help you use them.
Our house has a box room, full of boxes that we still haven't unpacked from our last move. A couple of weeks ago something in that room started intermittently beeping .
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, a 120B-parameter multimodal vision-language model, is now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Deploy the NVFP4 or BF16 variant in a few steps, then run text, image, and video inference for document intelligence, computer-use agents, and multimodal agentic workloads.
Meta is introducing Muse Ember, its smallest and most efficient AI model, optimized for repetitive agent tasks such as tool calls, routing, and data extraction. According to Meta, it delivers more intelligence per dollar than Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6 Luna. But it falls short when it comes to actual programming tasks.
Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 are now available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. Learn what's new in both models, why Fable 5.2 matters for your technical workloads, and how to get started building with it on Amazon Bedrock.
Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports single-shot RAG and retrieval-only requests through AgenticRetrieveStream, alongside agentic retrieval. This post explains how the maxAgentIteration parameter matches retrieval effort to each request, using an illustrative internal banking policy assistant.
"Do not ask again" prompt leads to passwords, API keys, and more being shared.
Handshake went from launch to $1B in one year pushing the envelope of specialized data for frontier labs. Our first deep dive into a data lab with specific examples across Finance, Bio, and Alignment
