Anthropic rolled out a beta tracing feature that exports OpenTelemetry spans from both the Messages API and Claude Managed Agents sessions. Developers using the Claude SDK can now capture these spans natively in seven languages: Python, TypeScript, C#, Go, Java, PHP, and Ruby. Enabling the feature requires setting up a destination for the telemetry data inside the Claude Console.
NVIDIA published a case study showing how Siemens EDA applied its open NeMo Gym evaluation library to tighten up an agentic tool used for chip characterization. Instead of checking individual tool calls, the team scored complete final output files with a domain-specific verifier, then used the failure patterns to rewrite the agent's skill instructions and MCP tool descriptions. After several rounds of this loop, a composite accuracy benchmark climbed from roughly 55% to 95%, while the agent needed far fewer steps and far less output to get there. The experiments relied on about 25 evaluation rollouts running Claude Opus 4.8 as the agent model inside Claude Code.
Tamnoon built Tami, an agentic orchestrator on Amazon Bedrock that investigates cloud security findings from CNAPPs and cloud providers, scores remediation safety, and generates fixes with guardrails. The company reports a greater than 90% reduction in critical cloud exposure within 90 days with zero production issues. The system uses four specialized agents (investigation, safety-scoring, remediation, code-generation) each calling different foundation models through Bedrock, with Bedrock Guardrails and Cross-Region inference providing safety and scale.
Orca Security built Discovery AI, an Amazon Bedrock-based agent that turns plain-English security questions into structured queries against its Sonar system, which tracks over 900 cloud resource types. Rather than relying on one large model with the full schema stuffed into every prompt, the production version splits the work across nine specialized stages and multiple foundation models. The result: dramatically lower cost, faster responses, and better accuracy on complex queries, now running live since March 2026.
Anthropic has introduced a beta option on its Claude Platform that allows a Managed Agents agent to construct its own workflow for large, multi-part jobs, such as going through hundreds of documents. Instead of handling everything in one pass, the agent splits the task into phases, delegates pieces across multiple sub-agents, and merges their output into a single result. The job is handed off to the server, which executes it asynchronously and reports progress through a stream of events.
AWS published a joint engineering write-up with Postman describing how Agent Mode, Postman's AI-native interface for API testing and documentation, was built to run in production at scale. Rather than model quality, the team found that tool sprawl and missing context were the biggest obstacles to reliable agent behavior. The post details architectural patterns including dynamic tool scoping, schema-based query access, dedicated context handlers, and how Amazon Bedrock provides model flexibility, cross-Region inference, data residency controls, and prompt caching.
Anthropic has announced the Cyber Mission, a long-term initiative to help defenders secure operational technology and open-source code using Claude models. It includes the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program, built with partners like Accenture, CrowdStrike, Deloitte and Rockwell Automation, and the free OSS Scanner tool that scans open-source projects for vulnerabilities. The effort builds on lessons from the earlier Project Glasswing, now merged into an expanded Cyber Verification Program.
Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent, a unified agent that combines chat, knowledge work, content creation, and coding into one interface accessible across devices and channels. It integrates directly inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, and Calendar, connects to enterprise tools and databases via MCP and a tools registry, and orchestrates across multiple models — including Google's Gemini family and Anthropic's Claude — to balance quality and cost. Google also detailed security/governance features, cost controls like Smart Routing and spend caps, and shared customer results from companies like BNP Paribas, Bradesco, and Orange Spain.
