AWS Releases Strands Decider 2B, a Small Model for an AI Agent’s Routine Decisions
In the 16 months since Amazon Web Services (AWS) released Strands Agents, its open-source SDK for building AI agents, the project has steadily grown beyond that original toolkit.

Microsoft’s Rebuilt Copilot Is a Bet on How Companies Will Work Next

Okta Launches Blueprint Alliance to Set Standards for Securing Enterprise AI Agents
Unsanctioned agents. Borrowed credentials. Agents exceeding orders. These are the things that keep enterprise security teams up at night.

AWS Launches Strands Harness, an Agent That Brings Its Own Everything but the Model
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a new tool for developers. On Monday, the company released its Strands harness, a ready-to-run agent that can search the web, run commands, edit files, remember what it did yesterday, and hand off work to helper agents.
