[AINews] Agents for Everything Else: Codex for Knowledge Work, Claude for Creative Work
a quiet day lets us reflect on coding agents "breaking containment"
This startup’s new mechanistic interpretability tool lets you debug LLMs
The San Francisco–based startup Goodfire just released a new tool, called Silico, that lets researchers and engineers peer inside an AI model and adjust its parameters—the settings that determine a model’s behavior—during training. This could give model makers more fine-grained control over how this technology is built than was once thought possible. Goodfire claims Silico…

China’s open-source bet
Silicon Valley AI companies follow a familiar playbook: Keep the secret sauce behind an API, and charge for every drop. China’s leading AI labs are playing a different game: They ship models as downloadable “open-weight” packages. This lets developers adapt the models and run them on their own hardware to build products without negotiating a…

Accelerate Generative AI Inference on Amazon SageMaker AI with G7e Instances
Today, we are thrilled to announce the availability of G7e instances powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs on Amazon SageMaker AI. You can provision nodes with 1, 2, 4, and 8 RTX PRO 6000 GPU instances, with each GPU providing 96 GB of GDDR7 memory. This launch provides the capability to use a single-node GPU, G7e.2xlarge instance to host powerful open source foundation models (FMs) like GPT-OSS-120B, Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B (NVFP4 variant), and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, offering organizations a cost-effective and high-performing option.

Accelerating decode-heavy LLM inference with speculative decoding on AWS Trainium and vLLM
In this post, you will learn how speculative decoding works and why it helps reduce cost per generated token on AWS Trainium2.
Use-case based deployments on SageMaker JumpStart
We're excited to announce the launch of Amazon SageMaker JumpStart optimized deployments. SageMaker JumpStart improved deployments address the need for rich and straightforward deployment customization on SageMaker JumpStart by offering pre-defined deployment configurations, designed for specific use cases. Customers maintain the same level of visibility into the details of their proposed deployments, but now deployments are optimized for their specific use case and performance constraint.

Accelerate agentic tool calling with serverless model customization in Amazon SageMaker AI
In this post, we walk through how we fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct for tool calling using RLVR. We cover dataset preparation across three distinct agent behaviors, reward function design with tiered scoring, training configuration and results interpretation, evaluation on held-out data with unseen tools, and deployment.
AI is changing how small online sellers decide what to make
For years Mike McClary sold the Guardian LTE Flashlight, a heavy-duty black model, online through his small outdoor brand. The product, designed for brightness and durability, became one of his most popular items ever. Even after he stopped offering it around 2017, customers kept sending him emails asking where they could buy it. When McClary…
[AINews] Gemma 4: The best small Multimodal Open Models, dramatically better than Gemma 3 in every way
A welcome update from Google!
Qwen: Qwen3.6 Plus (free) (qwen/qwen3.6-plus)
Qwen 3.6 Plus builds on a hybrid architecture that combines efficient linear attention with sparse mixture-of-experts routing, enabling strong scalability and high-performance inference. Compared to the 3.5 series, it delivers major gains in agentic coding, front-end development, and overall reasoning, with a significantly improved “vibe coding” experience. The model excels at complex tasks such as 3D scenes, games, and repository-level problem solving, achieving a 78.8 score on SWE-bench Verified. It represents a substantial leap in both pure-text and multimodal capabilities, performing at the level of leading state-of-the-art models.
