TwelveLabs Marengo Embed 3.0 is now generally available as an embedding model in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, bringing fully managed natural language search to video, image, and audio content. This walkthrough shows how to build a knowledge base powered by Marengo 3.0 and run semantic queries against your media.

A recap of August 2026 launches for AI builders across Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands: million-token context for OpenAI models, cross-Region inference, agents that run for up to 14 days on dedicated compute, expanded AWS GovCloud availability, and Strands Robots for physical deployment.

TorchServe is no longer maintained, leaving teams to own the entire GPU inference stack. The AWS Ray Serve Deep Learning Container is a supported, pre-tested container with the framework, GPU drivers, and serving layer already assembled. This post walks through deploying a vision-language model on Amazon EKS using the Ray Serve DLC on a single GPU node.

Amazon Quick custom permissions let you enforce least-privilege access by toggling features per user. This post walks through four patterns to automate custom permissions across the user lifecycle: a RegisterUser API parameter, account and role defaults, event-driven Amazon EventBridge and AWS Lambda automation, and a retroactive batch update script.

GPT-6 Astra from OpenAI is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. It brings deeper reasoning and sharper judgment to your most demanding tasks, running on the Amazon Bedrock inference engine built for high performance, security, and scale.

Pathway’s Baby Dragon Hatchling (BDH) is a brain-inspired, post-transformer architecture that reasons in latent space instead of emitting chain-of-thought tokens. See how Pathway develops and scales BDH on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, and how BDH-CQ set a new cost-efficiency mark on the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark.

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now supports feature-level writes. With the new UpdateRecord API, you can update one or more feature values in a single call without reading or rewriting the entire record. It is available for both the Standard (Amazon DynamoDB) and In-Memory (Amazon ElastiCache) online store tiers.

Governing models across accounts is the next step after automatic model registration. This post extends managed MLflow and Amazon SageMaker AI Model Registry sync to two cross-account governance topologies: a hub-and-spoke pattern that centralizes governance with AWS RAM, and a hybrid pattern that keeps development accounts isolated.

Managed MLflow on Amazon SageMaker AI now syncs richer model metadata (training metrics, evaluation results, inference specs, and lineage) into the SageMaker AI Model Registry, with lifecycle stage promotion. Part 1 shows how to govern candidate models in a single account using IAM guardrails.

Learn how to customize an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base for large, complex documents by combining the high-accuracy text extraction of Amazon Textract with the generative AI of Amazon Bedrock. This post shows how to ingest and preprocess PDFs and images, then query utility bills at scale for faster, more accurate customer interactions.
