Donnie, in the AWS Weekly Roundup, summarized the latest updates from AWS, including the release of a new code editor in the AWS Lambda console, Amazon Q Business analytics, Claude 3.5 upgrades, and more.
One of the most notable updates is the launch of a new code editor in the AWS Lambda console based on Code-OSS (VS Code – Open Source). This editor allows developers to use their preferred coding environment and tools within the Lambda console, making it easier for them to write, deploy, and manage Lambda functions more efficiently.
In addition, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Bedrock Custom Model Import. This feature allows customers to import and use their customized models alongside existing foundation models through a single, unified API. This means that customers can now leverage fine-tuned models or develop proprietary models based on popular open-source architectures without managing infrastructure or model lifecycle tasks.
Finally, AWS announced significant upgrades to Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 model family in Amazon Bedrock, including improved intelligence for Claude 3.5 Sonnet and new computer use capabilities in public beta. These enhancements support building more advanced AI applications, automating complex tasks, and leveraging improved reasoning capabilities for various use cases.
In short, these updates from AWS demonstrate its continued commitment to providing customers with the latest technologies and tools to help them build more intelligent, efficient, and scalable applications and solutions.
