The famously fact-averse president rolled out a new AI tool – but its answers don’t conform to his version of reality Donald Trump, in a development that could almost be from a Greek tragedy, appears to have invented something that is willing to do what no one in his orbit will: tell him the truth.

And they're apparently betting on a similar path: testing appetite for physical hardware with their cutesy software agents. "Hardware is hard" is a tech industry mantra. Dedicated AI devices like the Friend and Humane AI Pin have inspired mainly frustration and backlash, which may only worsen as public anger against AI grows. Meta and OpenAI, however, are both pushing ahead. OpenAI is working with famed ex-Apple designer Jony Ive and pla … Read the full story at The Verge.

This technical how-to builds a conversational claims assistant on Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases that answers natural-language questions with citations. It covers ingesting claim documents from Amazon S3, querying with the AgenticRetrieveStream API, multi-turn follow-ups, metadata filters, and contextual grounding guardrails.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime Instances gives multi-agent workflows AWS managed EC2 infrastructure with GPUs, persistent volumes, and multi-day sessions. In this post, we deploy a three-agent music production pipeline where the agents colocate on one GPU instance, share a filesystem, and hand work to each other to produce a finished track.

Meta launched a new Muse AI agent it claims can help you with everything from firing off emails to buying stuff online.
