Experts analyze the 1X NEO humanoid robot's real-world viability and data challenges, delve into the complex copyright dispute between Japan's IP holders and OpenAI's Sora 2, and dissect the strategic implications of the new OpenAI and AWS partnership for AI infrastructure and multi-cloud strategies.
Nick Coult from AWS explains that the future of serverless is not a replacement but an essential foundation for the rise of AI agents. This talk explores the core benefits of serverless, its synergy with event-driven architectures, and how agentic AI and agentic workflows will rely on serverless principles to scale and operate effectively.
A deep dive into building and scaling production-ready AI agents, detailing a model-driven approach using the open-source 'Strands' SDK and a cloud-native architecture for deploying remote tools with MCP and AWS Lambda.
In a presentation from Code w/ Claude, AWS advocates Du'An Lightfoot, Suman Debnath, and Banjo Obayami introduce Strands, a new open-source Python SDK for building AI agentic applications on AWS. They showcase how Strands simplifies development by focusing on three core components—models, tools, and prompts—and leverages the full reasoning power of foundation models like Claude 3.5 on Amazon Bedrock. The session includes live demos on creating a multi-tool weather agent, integrating with Modular Connected Protocol (MCP) servers for AWS documentation and diagram generation, and using Claude Code to auto-generate a complete Strands agent for AWS CDK.
