Building an Agentic AI Platform on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Stand up a governed, multi-account Agentic AI Platform on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This post walks through the architecture and an open-source reference blueprint: the operating model, control plane, per-Workstream cells, separate inference and tool gateways, and a CI/CD evaluation pipeline that gates each agent before production.

Google Deepmind releases Gemini 4 Carbon just two weeks after Argon with gains across the board

Just two weeks after Gemini 4 Argon, Google DeepMind is releasing Gemini 4 Carbon, which tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5 with 59 points. Google says the model is built for extended agent workflows and the full cyber defense lifecycle. Because of those advanced security capabilities, access is limited to selected security experts at first.
