AWS announces Claude Fable 5, the first generally available Mythos-class model

Claude Fable 5 is generally available on AWS and makes Mythos-level capabilities available to all customers, with strong safeguards designed to make it safe for broader use. Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks and delivers a step-change in autonomous knowledge work and coding for developers and enterprises building production AI applications. Claude Mythos 5, the same model without those safety classifiers, is available to a small group of customers who currently have access to Claude Mythos Preview.
Claude Fable 5 can run for extended periods on complex knowledge work and coding tasks without intervention, representing a fundamental shift in the types of problems customers can solve with AI. It is built for professional tasks in finance, legal, marketing, sales, data, and engineering — proactively self-updating skills based on learnings, developing its own evaluation harnesses, and verifying its work before delivery. 
Customers have two ways to access Claude Fable 5: Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. Amazon Bedrock keeps your data within AWS infrastructure and provides access to Claude Fable 5 through a unified service with AWS-managed features like Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and regional data residency. To learn more, see Amazon Bedrock documentation and regional availability. 
Claude Platform on AWS, operated by Anthropic, gives you direct access to Anthropic’s native Claude platform experience with unified AWS billing and authentication. To get started, see the Claude Platform on AWS documentation.

AWS FinOps Agent is now available in preview

Today, AWS announces the preview of AWS FinOps Agent, a frontier agent for FinOps practitioners and engineering teams that answers cost questions, surfaces optimization opportunities, automatically investigates cost anomalies, and runs recurring FinOps workflows on a schedule you define.
With the AWS FinOps Agent, you can ask questions about your AWS costs and generate cloud cost reports for finance and engineering teams. The agent surfaces rightsizing, idle resource, and Savings Plans recommendations from AWS Cost Optimization Hub and AWS Compute Optimizer, and can open Jira tickets on your behalf. When a cost anomaly is detected, FinOps Agent can automatically investigate the root cause and can post the findings to a Slack channel, so engineering teams are notified without manual triage.
AWS FinOps Agent (preview) is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and includes cost and usage data covering all AWS Regions, except AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China (Beijing and Ningxia) Regions. AWS FinOps Agent is offered at no additional charge during the preview.
Learn more about AWS FinOps Agent in the User Guide, product details page, and the blog. Get started by visiting the AWS FinOps Agent page in the AWS Management Console.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights adds 23 new query commands and functions

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query language now supports 23 new commands and functions that give you new ways to query, parse, transform, and analyze your logs. Customers analyzing logs in CloudWatch Logs Insights often need to do conditional processing, string conversions, process IP addresses, parse different file formats, and execute complex stats commands. With this launch, CloudWatch Logs Insights provides new hash functions (md5, sha256), string functions (strcontains supporting case-insensitive search, split), conditional logic (if statement), and conversion functions (toNumber, toInt, toLong, toDouble). It also adds IP functions (ipv4ToNumber, isPrivateIP, isPublicIP, isReservedIP), analytics functions (rate, count_over_time, sum_over_time, offset, histogram), and parse functions (parse CSV, parse XML, parse multi, values, addtotals). Additionally, queries now support “limit any N” to fetch the first N results, and can use up to 10 stats commands. These commands and functions are available today in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, see the Amazon CloudWatch Logs documentation.

Amazon DocumentDB now supports engine minor version starting with 5.0.1

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports engine minor versions, starting with 5.0.1. This release delivers enhanced aggregation capabilities with new operators ($rand, $pow, $dateToParts, $dateFromParts), the active connections metric to monitor instances, and granular command-level performance metrics in CloudWatch (find, insert, findAndModify, update, etc.). For a full list of what’s included, see release notes. Minor versions provide new features and bug fixes within the same major version, giving you more control over when and how you upgrade your clusters. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor version to benefit from these performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new capabilities. You can specify minor version 5.0.1 when creating a new cluster, or manually upgrade an existing 5.0.0 cluster to 5.0.1 using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI (via the modify-db-cluster command with –engine-version 5.0.1). Once you upgrade to a newer minor version, you cannot downgrade back to a previous minor version. Upgrading from 5.0.0 (LTS) to 5.0.1 gives you access to the latest features and fixes, but you will no longer be on the LTS track. If minimizing upgrades is your priority, you should remain on LTS. For more information, see Using a long-term support (LTS) release. Amazon DocumentDB engine minor version 5.0.1 is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 is available. Learn more about minor version upgrades and version support dates in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide. Create or update a fully managed Amazon DocumentDB cluster in the Amazon DocumentDB Management Console.

Amazon MSK Express Brokers now support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams

Effective today, Amazon MSK Express Brokers support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams. Customers can now deploy their Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers without needing to manually pre-create or manage topics for stateful operations. MSK Express Brokers are designed to deliver up to three times more throughput per broker, scale up to 20 times faster, and reduce recovery time by 90 percent. Kafka Streams uses topics to store state and repartition data for stateful operations. Previously, customers running Kafka Streams with Express Brokers had to manually name and pre-create these topics before deploying their application. With this launch, these topics are created automatically when the application starts, simplifying deployment and reducing operational setup for Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers. This capability is available today in all AWS regions where MSK Express Brokers are available. No additional configuration or setup is required to get started. To learn more, see Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
