Amazon Bedrock AgentCore raises default runtime quotas for high-throughput AI agents

AWS has increased the default runtime quota limits for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to support larger-scale agent workloads. The update allows up to 5,000 active concurrent sessions in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon), while other regions support 2,500. Across all available regions, the service now handles 200 agent interactions per second and 25 new session creations per second by default.

  • US East and West regions now support 5,000 active concurrent sessions by default.
  • All other supported regions support 2,500 active concurrent sessions by default.
  • Global throughput limit is 200 agent interactions per second across all regions.
  • New session creation rate is capped at 25 per second in all regions.
  • Higher default limits reduce the need to request quota increases for high-scale agents.

OpenAI releases Codex plugin for Claude Code integration

OpenAI has published a plugin enabling Claude Code users to invoke Codex directly within their existing workflow. The integration supports commands for standard reviews, adversarial challenges, and task delegation with background job management. Users with a ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key can install it via the marketplace to leverage Codex capabilities without leaving the Claude Code environment.

  • Enables direct Codex invocation from within Claude Code workflows.
  • Supports /codex:review and /codex:adversarial-review commands.
  • Allows task delegation via /codex:transfer and /codex:rescue.
  • Requires ChatGPT subscription or OpenAI API key for access.
  • Consumes Codex usage limits associated with the user's account.

herdr: Rust-based terminal multiplexer for concurrent AI coding agents

herdr is a local Rust binary that acts as an agent multiplexer, allowing engineers to run multiple coding agents within a single terminal session. It provides real, native terminal instances for each agent, ensuring full compatibility with TUIs and screen rendering. The tool supports remote execution via SSH, enabling persistent agent workspaces that survive local disconnects and can be reattached from mobile or other devices.

  • Run multiple AI agents concurrently in one terminal without GUI wrappers or Electron overhead.
  • Native terminal emulation ensures full-screen TUIs render correctly for each agent instance.
  • SSH-based reattachment allows agents to persist on remote servers when the local laptop closes.
  • Single Rust binary dependency with no telemetry, accounts, or platform-specific restrictions.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore expands to Bangkok, Malaysia, Milan, and Spain

AWS has expanded Amazon Bedrock AgentCore availability to four new regions: Asia Pacific (Bangkok), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Europe (Milan), and Europe (Spain). This platform enables engineers to build, connect, and optimize AI agents using any framework or model while enforcing security at the infrastructure layer. The expansion allows customers to run agents closer to end users, reducing latency while maintaining capabilities like identity management, tool connectivity, and observability.

  • New regions support lower-latency agent deployment for users in Southeast Asia and Southern Europe.
  • All core capabilities including runtime, policy management, and observability are available at launch.
  • Security is enforced at the infrastructure layer, preventing agents from bypassing access controls.
  • Engineers can connect agents to enterprise systems and optimize them continuously across these regions.

InfoQ publishes a new eMag positioning agentic AI as a distinct software architecture set to dominate the industry. The collection features expert contributions detailing the specific elements and aspects that define this emerging paradigm. It aims to capture the latest trends and developments as agentic systems move into the mainstream.

  • Agentic AI is framed as a new, dominant software architecture type, not just a library or tool
  • The eMag consolidates expert views on the structural components of agentic systems
  • Focus is on mainstream adoption trends and the evolution of architectural patterns
  • Provides a high-level overview rather than deep implementation code for engineers

Taste-Skill: AI Agent Framework to Eliminate Generic UI Output

Taste-Skill is an open-source framework designed to improve the aesthetic quality of AI-generated user interfaces. It provides portable agent skills that enforce stronger layout, typography, motion, and spacing standards to prevent boilerplate-looking designs. The tool supports generating reference boards for web, mobile, and brand kits, which can then be handed off to coding agents like Cursor or Claude Code for implementation.

  • Provides specific agent skills to override default AI tendencies toward generic, boring UI designs.
  • Integrates with existing coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex via reference frames.
  • Includes image-generation capabilities for creating web, mobile, and brand kit reference boards.
  • Focuses on non-functional aesthetics like spacing and typography to upgrade interface quality.

Planning-with-files v3 adds crash-proof MD plans and completion gates for AI agents

This GitHub project implements persistent file-based planning for AI coding agents using markdown files on disk. Version 3.0 introduces opt-in autonomous modes and a deterministic completion gate that prevents premature termination. It aims to solve context loss issues by maintaining task, findings, and progress state across agent resets.

  • Skips context window limits by persisting planning state to disk files.
  • New v3.0 completion gate ensures agents finish plans before stopping.
  • Compatible with 60+ agents via the SKILL.md standard interface.
  • Reduces hallucination risk by grounding decisions in explicit markdown plans.
