Agentic AI

AWS has increased the default runtime quota limits for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to support larger-scale agent deployments. Concurrent session caps now reach 5,000 in US East and West, while all regions support 200 interactions per second and 25 new sessions per second. These adjustments allow developers to handle high-throughput workloads without immediately requesting quota increases.

• US East and West regions now support 5,000 active concurrent sessions by default.
• All regions support 200 agent interactions per second and 25 new sessions per second.
• Higher default limits reduce friction for scaling high-throughput AI agent workloads.
• Monitor actual usage against these new caps to avoid unexpected throttling.

Amazon WorkSpaces for AI agents is generally available, allowing agents to interact with desktop applications via screen-level automation. This enables enterprises to automate workflows on critical, hard-to-modernize systems like ERPs and mainframes without building custom integrations. The service leverages existing WorkSpaces infrastructure to provide a secure, managed environment for these automated operations.

• Agents operate desktop apps via screen interaction, bypassing the need for API modernization.
• Ideal for automating legacy ERPs, CRMs, and mainframes with strict compliance needs.
• Uses established WorkSpaces infrastructure for secure, scalable agent deployment.
• Eliminates costs associated with custom integrations for proprietary tools.

The .NET team has released dotnet/skills, a repository of curated plugins designed to assist AI coding agents. These skills cover C# language server integration, advanced scenarios, data access via Entity Framework, and performance diagnostics. The project includes a dashboard tracking accuracy and efficiency metrics for the contained plugins.

• Provides standardized .NET skills for AI coding agents to improve code generation accuracy.
• Covers critical areas including LSP integration, data access, and performance diagnostics.
• Offers a public dashboard to monitor plugin accuracy and efficiency trends over time.
• Aligns with the agentskills.io standard for consistent agent-skill interoperability.

AWS has extended Amazon Bedrock AgentCore availability to four new regions: Asia Pacific (Bangkok and Malaysia) and Europe (Milan and Spain). This service enables engineers to build, connect, and optimize AI agents using any framework or model while enforcing infrastructure-level security. The expansion allows customers to deploy agents closer to end users to reduce latency, with full capabilities including runtime, identity management, and observability available at launch.

• Bedrock AgentCore is now live in Asia Pacific (Bangkok/Malaysia) and Europe (Milan/Spain).
• Deploy agents closer to users in these regions to achieve lower latency.
• Security policies are enforced at the infrastructure layer and cannot be bypassed by agents.
• All core features like runtime, tool connectivity, and session persistence are available at launch.

OpenAI has published a plugin enabling Claude Code users to invoke Codex for code reviews and task delegation. The integration supports read-only reviews, adversarial challenges, and background job management via slash commands. It requires a ChatGPT subscription or API key and runs on Node.js 18.18 or later.

• Enables direct Codex invocation from within the Claude Code workflow
• Supports read-only reviews and steerable adversarial challenge modes
• Provides commands for delegating work, transferring sessions, and managing jobs
• Requires ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key with usage limits
