t54's x402-secure trust layer, running on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments, has processed over 20 million agent-initiated micropayments without human approval. The system uses a deterministic risk-scoring gate to block payments to unsafe endpoints before funds settle.
AWS has published a reference architecture showing how to build multi-tenant agentic document chat applications using Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base. The design handles per-user document isolation, asynchronous ingestion up to 50 MB, and agentic multi-hop retrieval with citations, offloading infrastructure work from development teams.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations now scores AI agents regardless of the framework they're built on, by reading OpenTelemetry and OpenInference instrumentation instead of requiring a specific SDK. The service automatically decodes traces from six named frameworks and extends coverage to any library following the same telemetry conventions.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore now lets teams write agent governance rules in plain English and automatically convert them into Dogwood, an open-source policy language, including support for time-based and cumulative constraints. The update extends Policy Authoring beyond simple parameter restrictions to rate limiting, sequential tool-call ordering, and Amazon Bedrock Guardrails integration.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's Web Search connector now supports per-request domain filtering and published-date windows, enforced server-side. The update, shipped as connector version 1.2.0, also expands availability to AWS regions in Dublin and Tokyo.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments, built with Coinbase and Stripe, is now generally available after a May preview. The service lets AI agents autonomously pay for paywalled content, APIs, and per-inference compute using stablecoin wallets with spending caps and audit logging.
AWS published a technical guide on designing custom composite reward functions for multi-turn reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) of Amazon Nova models via Nova Forge's Bring Your Own Orchestration (BYOO) capability. The post covers GRPO-based reward scoring, combining outcome rewards, behavioral rewards, and penalties, plus a serverless multi-turn RL option now generally available.
Amazon has released Microsoft 365 extensions for its Quick AI assistant, embedding agentic capabilities directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. The extensions run entirely in the cloud, require no client-side installation, and connect to existing Quick data sources like Salesforce, Jira, Slack, and SharePoint.
