AWS Lambda response streaming is now available in all commercial AWS Regions, bringing full regional parity for this capability. Customers in newly supported Regions can use the InvokeWithResponseStream API to progressively stream response payloads back to clients as data becomes available. Response streaming enables functions to send partial responses to clients incrementally rather than buffering the entire response before transmission. This reduces time-to-first-byte (TTFB) latency and is well suited for latency-sensitive workloads such as LLM-based applications as well as web and mobile applications where users benefit from seeing responses appear incrementally. Response streaming supports payloads up to a default maximum of 200 MB. With this expansion, customers in all commercial Regions can stream responses using the InvokeWithResponseStream API through a supported AWS SDK, or through Amazon API Gateway REST APIs with response streaming enabled. Response stream

AWS Cost Explorer now brings Amazon Q Developer's generative AI capabilities directly into your cost analysis workflows. You can now use natural language queries to ask Amazon Q questions about your AWS cost and usage data. In addition to providing answers to your question, you now also receive automatically updated visualizations in Cost Explorer. This enables faster cost analysis, reduces time to insights, and makes cost visibility accessible to every team member. With this launch, you can start your cost analysis with the new suggested prompts in Cost Explorer. These prompts include commonly asked cost questions like "Show me my top spending services for this month." Amazon Q provides detailed insights while Cost Explorer simultaneously updates with the corresponding visualization, filters, and groupings. You can also ask custom questions in your own words using the new 'Ask Question' button, exploring your spending patterns conversationally. Cost Explorer autom

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports Serverless Workflows in Identity Center domains.  With this launch, customers using Identity Center domains can orchestrate data processing tasks with Apache Airflow (powered by Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow) without provisioning or managing Airflow infrastructure. Serverless Workflows were previously available only in IAM-based domains.  Serverless Workflows automatically provision compute resources when a workflow runs and release them when it completes, so you only pay for actual workflow run time. Each workflow runs with its own execution role and isolated worker, providing workflow-level security and preventing cross-workflow interference. With Serverless Workflows, Identity Center domain customers also get access to the Visual Workflow experience with support for

Amazon Bedrock, the platform for building generative AI applications and agents at production scale, now offers Claude Mythos Preview in gated research preview as part of Project Glasswing.

This enables security teams to accelerate defensive cybersecurity work, find and fix security vulnerabilities in the world's most critical software, and address these issues before threats emerge. Claude Mythos Preview signals an upcoming wave of AI models with powerful cybersecurity capabilities. Anthropic and AWS are taking a deliberately cautious approac

S3 Files delivers a shared file system that connects any AWS compute resource directly with your data in Amazon S3. With S3 Files, Amazon S3 is the first and only cloud object store that provides fully-featured, high-performance file system access to your data. It provides full file system semantics and low-latency performance, without your data ever leaving S3. That means file-based applications, agents, and teams can now access and work with your S3 data as a file system using the tools they already depend on. Built using Amazon EFS, S3 Files gives you the performance and simplicity of a file system with the scalability, durability, and cost-effectiveness of S3. You no longer need to duplicate your data or cycle it between object storage and file system storage. S3 Files maintains a view of the objects in your bucket and intelligently translates your file system operations into efficient S3 requests on your behalf. Your file-based applications run on your

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports M8i and R8i instances.

Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service from AWS, now offers access to Rigetti's Cepheus-1-108Q device, the first 100+ qubit superconducting quantum processing unit (QPU) available on Amazon Braket. Cepheus-1-108Q uses Rigetti's modular multi-chip architecture, consisting of a 3x4 array of twelve 9-qubit chiplets with tunable couplers and intermodule couplers between chiplets. Cepheus-1-108Q introduces CZ (controlled phase) gates, replacing the iSWAP gates used on previous Rigetti QPUs. CZ gates provide higher resilience to phase errors common in superconducting systems, and Rigetti's adiabatic CZ implementation further reduces leakage errors. These improvements enable customers to run deeper circuits for use cases such as chemical simulation, combinatorial optimization, and machine learning. Customers can build and run quantum programs using the Braket SDK or other frameworks such as Qiskit, CUDA-Q, and Pennylane. Pulse-level control is also available for researchers w
