Its pilot has expanded from 3 robots to 26, with a new 17-robot pilot launched in Southern California.
The official AWS blog demonstrates deploying a three-agent music production pipeline on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime Instances. The composition agent uses Claude Sonnet 4.6 to generate a music brief and runs ACE-Step on the instance's NVIDIA L4 to render audio. The delivery agent reads .wav files from the shared volume for measurement and DSP processing, while the compliance agent independently remeasures them and checks harmonic similarity against a music catalogue.
CoreWeave announced that NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 systems with Spectrum-X 102.4T Ethernet were available on CoreWeave Cloud, with Cognition becoming the first customer to run them in production.
DeepSeek and Huawei have collaborated on programming tools for Ascend chips and released them all as open source. At their core is TileLang, a language that is easier to learn than CUDA. It was originally developed by researchers at Peking University, and DeepSeek has used it for about a year. The companies have also optimised a supernode comprising 128 Ascend 950 chips, with Huawei saying it provided full support. DeepSeek argues that an independent AI chip software ecosystem first needs a general-purpose language that is easy to program and can fully exploit the hardware's performance.
Berlin-based start-up Restate has raised $20 million in a Series A round led by Singular, with participation from Redpoint Ventures and Capital One Ventures. Its durable execution engine helps AI agents' multi-step workflows recover from crashes and network interruptions.

Condé Nast partnered with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) to build multimodal video retrieval on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Service, using the TwelveLabs Marengo embedding model to jointly encode visuals, audio and transcripts.
HPE argues that businesses should reassess consumption-based AI pricing. When agent workflows in customer service, IT and research create sustained, predictable demand, buying AI per request may not be cheaper than building owned capacity. Deloitte’s 2026 enterprise AI report says employee AI usage rose 5% in 2025, and the share of companies with at least 40% of AI projects in production is expected to double within six months. Businesses need to calculate utilisation crossover points from actual workloads and keep owned capacity productive through adoption, governance and expanding use cases.
AWS announced Claude Sonnet 5.5 availability on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS, positioning it as a more efficient Sonnet for coding and knowledge work, with lower cost per task and faster speeds for most tasks.
AWS released a vLLM-Omni DLC for deploying Qwen3-TTS on SageMaker AI. A single persistent bidirectional connection streams text in and audio out, with playback beginning before generation finishes.
AWS published a tutorial deploying two endpoints from the same vLLM-Omni DLC image on SageMaker AI: a real-time endpoint running FLUX.2-klein-4B for images and an asynchronous endpoint running Wan2.1-VACE-1.3B for image-conditioned video. A text prompt first generates a PNG, which is sent with a motion prompt through Amazon S3 to the video endpoint; the resulting MP4 is retrieved from S3. The example includes a command-line workflow and an optional Streamlit interface.
