Trump’s China rivalry and “AI race” delusion may endanger US, experts say

Publisher preview

From portal-hopping to instant answers: HEMA’s journey with MCP and Amazon Bedrock

Publisher preview

This post is co-written with Mauro Rallo and Patrick van der Plas from HEMA.

Organizations across media, security, insurance, and professional services are generating more video than their teams can review. Meeting recordings accumulate in shared drives, and security cameras capture weeks of unreviewed footage. Field inspection videos sit in object storage long after the initial review. The information inside these videos is often valuable: a design decision discussed three weeks ago, the exact moment a person arrived at a door, or the…

Use open weight models as your AI coding agent with Amazon Bedrock

Publisher preview

AI coding agents have become a core part of how developers write, debug, and refactor software. Open weight models on Amazon Bedrock now make these agents practical to run privately and cost-effectively. But most options require you to send your proprietary data to a third-party API, lock you into a single model provider, or charge per-seat subscriptions regardless of how much you use them. If you have data residency requirements, cost-sensitive workloads, or a need for model flexibility, these constraints create real friction. What if you could run an AI…
