Podcasts about Kiro

Essex Porter, retired Emmy-winning political reporter, joined host Omari Salisbury in the studio to reflect on his distinguished 39-year career at KIRO 7 and his current leadership roles with Cascade Public Media and the Seattle Association of Black Journalists. Porter also shared his insights from the recent community preview of Angela Poe Russell's musical Aviatrix at the Northwest African American Museum, discussed the role of Black-led local programming at Cascade PBS, and offered his perspective on the recent Civic Cocktail: A Conversation with Mayor Katie Wilson event last week.

#353: Move fast and break things never meant be reckless. It meant do not stall out of fear, because something is going to break no matter how careful you are. The part everyone dropped from the sentence is the part that actually matters: and fix things fast. Break faster, fix faster. Take the second half away and you are just breaking things. So what changed with AI? An agent can take down a whole environment in the time it takes you to type kubectl. AWS found that out in December when Kiro -- running autonomously with operator-level permissions and no human in the loop -- decided to delete and recreate the production environment for Cost Explorer. Thirteen hours down in one region. Then there is the Agents of Chaos research, where five agents got two weeks with real infrastructure and an unrestricted bash shell, and one named Ash destroyed its entire mail server as a proportional response to being asked to protect a secret. Right values. Catastrophic judgment. Here is where Viktor plants his flag. A person owns the work. Not the AI. Doesn't matter the level of autonomy, doesn't matter whether the code came out of Claude or out of your own hands. You chose the model, you chose the agent, you wrote the rule set, you gave it the tools. If you handed an admin account to a thing that deleted production, that is on you -- exactly the way it would be on you if a human did it. The Kiro engineer could have made the same mistake without AI. Blame the people. The fix is not telling AI to be safe. It is building the place where breaking things is survivable. Immutable infrastructure. Progressive delivery everywhere. Feature flags you can actually turn off, not just on. Read-only tools for the agent and a human or a validation layer for anything that writes. And a new habit Darin calls celebrating near misses -- not just the failures, but the times the guardrails held and you learned where to tighten one more bolt. Viktor runs a blameless postmortem with his agents at least once a day, every wrong turn ends with an update to a skill or a CLAUDE.md. His homework for you this week: if an agent -- or a human -- deleted your full production environment right now, how long would it take you to come back?   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x746! Shameless plug 20 au 22 avril 2026 - ITSec Code rabais de 15%: Seqcure15 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2026 - SSTIC 2026 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal 1 au 3 décembre 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Canada 2026 24 et 25 février 2027 - SéQCure 2027 Description Introduction Dans cet épisode de PME, l'animateur reçoit Cyndie Feltz, Nicholas Milot et Dominique Derrier pour discuter du vibe coding — une tendance qui consiste à générer du code quasi entièrement à l'aide d'outils d'intelligence artificielle, souvent sans posséder de solides bases en développement. Le ton est décontracté, ponctué d'humour, mais le fond du propos est sérieux : si le vibe coding ouvre des portes fascinantes, il comporte aussi des risques bien réels, particulièrement en matière de sécurité et de maintenabilité. L'analogie de la maison : séduisant mais fragile Pour illustrer le concept, Cyndie propose une analogie percutante : imaginez construire une maison en se contentant de décrire vocalement ce qu'on veut — la couleur des murs, l'emplacement des fenêtres — sans aucune connaissance en construction. Le résultat visuel peut être bluffant, mais irait-on habiter cette maison ? Probablement pas, car personne n'a pensé aux normes antisismiques, aux règles du bâtiment, à la plomberie ou à l'électricité. L'analogie tient parfaitement pour le développement logiciel : une application vibe codée peut avoir l'air fonctionnelle et même impressionnante en surface, tout en étant criblée de failles de sécurité, dépourvue de gestion des erreurs, et incapable de passer en production. Le rendu visuel crée une illusion de compétence qui peut être dangereuse si l'on n'a pas les bases pour évaluer ce qu'on a réellement construit. Les cas d'usage légitimes Les participants s'accordent néanmoins à reconnaître la valeur réelle du vibe coding dans certains contextes précis : Les preuves de concept (POC) : pour valider rapidement une idée, démontrer la viabilité d'une fonctionnalité ou présenter un prototype à des parties prenantes, l'outil est fantastique. Il permet d'éviter de gaspiller des cycles de développement coûteux avant même de savoir si l'idée mérite d'être poursuivie. Les outils internes : pour des scripts légers, des automatisations maison ou des utilitaires qui ne seront jamais exposés à des utilisateurs externes, le vibe coding offre une grande souplesse. Les petits sites vitrines : créer une page web simple pour présenter une entreprise est un cas d'usage où les risques restent limités. Nicholas souligne que le scénario change radicalement si c'est un expert qui utilise le vibe coding pour accélérer son travail plutôt qu'un non-initié qui s'y fie aveuglément. Un développeur expérimenté sait quelles questions poser, quelles contraintes intégrer dans ses prompts, et surtout quand le code généré est insuffisant ou dangereux. Les risques concrets La sécurité, grande oubliée Cyndie, qui œuvre dans le domaine de la sécurité, pointe plusieurs vulnérabilités typiques du vibe coding : La gestion des secrets : une personne sans expérience va naturellement coller ses clés API (Stripe, GitHub, OpenAI) directement dans le code, sans comprendre que c'est une pratique catastrophique. Les permissions excessives : si on fournit à l'agent IA un accès complet à une base de données, rien ne l'empêche de générer — et d'exécuter — une commande DROP TABLE. Il faut réfléchir aux moindres privilèges, ce qui requiert une connaissance du domaine. Le contournement des protections : certains LLM, interrogés de la bonne façon, acceptent désormais de fournir des techniques pour bypasser des systèmes de sécurité (comme les EDR), voire d'écrire des preuves de concept malveillantes. L'incident Amazon Un exemple concret frappe les esprits : en février 2026, Amazon aurait subi une interruption de service d'environ 13 heures après qu'un employé a utilisé un outil de type Cursor (l'éditeur interne « Kiro ») pour supprimer et recréer des secrets et des connexions, mettant accidentellement AWS hors ligne. En réaction, Amazon a instauré une règle interne obligeant les développeurs juniors et intermédiaires à faire approuver leurs mises en production par un développeur senior — ce qui revient à admettre officiellement que l'expérience humaine reste indispensable. La dette technique et la maintenabilité Nicholas insiste sur un autre écueil : le code vibe codé est difficile à maintenir. Sans documentation adéquate, sans architecture réfléchie, le code généré par IA ressemble à du Perl écrit en une ligne — on ne comprend plus ce qu'on a fait quelques semaines plus tard. Plus l'application grossit, plus la gestion du contexte entre les différents agents IA devient complexe, et plus il faut investir dans des fichiers de documentation (Markdown, instructions de projet) pour garder le cap. Les hallucinations de dépendances Un autre cas inquiétant est évoqué : un LLM qui invente une dépendance npm inexistante. Des centaines de dépôts GitHub se sont retrouvés à référencer un package qui n'existe pas, parce que l'IA l'avait suggéré avec confiance. Au-delà du dysfonctionnement, le risque de sécurité est évident : si quelqu'un crée un vrai package malveillant portant ce nom, il serait automatiquement adopté par tous ces projets. Le vibe coding comme exosquelette La métaphore finale la plus juste est celle de l'exosquelette : le vibe coding décuple les capacités de ceux qui savent déjà marcher, mais ne remplace pas les jambes. L'humain reste central. L'IA accélère, automatise et débloque des possibilités nouvelles — mais elle ne remplace ni le jugement, ni l'expérience, ni la responsabilité. La course à la vitesse pousse les entreprises à sacrifier la qualité et la sécurité, ce qui mène inévitablement à des échecs retentissants. Le consensus des panélistes : utiliser le vibe coding pour explorer et prototyper, puis confier la production à des processus rigoureux, idéalement guidés par des personnes qui comprennent ce qu'elles construisent.

#345: Vibe coding works fine until your project gets complicated. That's the gap Amit Patel and his team at AWS built Kiro to fill. The tool launched with about six people in mid-2024, hit GA around October 2025, and the team still fits in a single room -- maybe a seven-pizza team by Darin's math. The core idea is spec-driven development, but not the kind where business analysts disappear for five years and come back with a document nobody needs anymore. Amit's version: you tell the agent what you want in a chat prompt, it writes the spec for you, and you iterate on it. Twenty minutes of back and forth and you've got requirements, a design, and a task breakdown. Then the agent executes. Two to three days later, working software. Here's where it gets interesting. Amit frames the human role as bookends. At the front, you define intent -- what needs to exist and why. At the back, you verify that what got built actually matches. Everything in the middle? That's where the tooling lives. And that middle is getting wider every month as agents run longer, handle more turns, and start working in parallel. But the gap between 'I can build it' and 'I built it right' is real. Amit's S3 example nails it. Ask an LLM to build a file upload app and you'll get one that works. Encryption at rest, encryption in transit, KMS, bucket policies -- none of that shows up unless you know to ask for it. The LLM will generate all of it on request. It just won't volunteer it. That's the experience gap, and it's why junior developers still need to become senior developers the old-fashioned way. One story that landed: a product manager on Amit's team used Kiro to go from conversation to working prototype overnight. Not a wireframe. Not a doc. A demo the engineering team could put into production. The roles aren't disappearing -- they're getting more fluid. The value was never in the writing. It was always in knowing what needed to be built. Kiro is now widely adopted inside AWS, with both an IDE and a CLI. Where it's headed next: agents that run in the background, handle multiple tasks at once, and get verified with formal methods instead of just hoping the output is right. But Amit's honest about the limits -- steering file adherence is, in his words, an art in itself. Non-deterministic LLMs will ignore your rules sometimes.

Feliks Banel's guests on this SPECIAL BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY include Heather Bosch, Tim Haeck, Gregg Hersholt, Steve Knight, Andy Ludlum and Dave Ross. The group gathered to hold a wake - or "celebration of life" - for CBS Radio News, which will shutdown for good after May 22, 2026. Each member of the panel - an "AUDIO MOUNT RUSHMORE" for many longtime radio listeners - has decades of experience working in radio news at the local level in the Pacific Northwest (mostly at KIRO in Seattle), and several also worked at one time for the CBS Radio Network (which has also been known as CBS News Radio and CBS Radio News). All valued and depended on CBS for what its national and international coverage meant to local stations in a not-so-distant age when radio news was far less diminished in resources, listeners and impact. In this timely and topical conversation, which was recorded on Good Friday (April 3, 2026), each panelist shares his/her memories of CBS and reflects on the significance of the hourly radio newscasts, and theorizes about what will be lost by listeners in 700 communities where those newscasts currently air. Also discussed is the impact on already significantly reduced news operations at local stations, and what might come next - or what might replace the functions of CBS - for those 700 affiliates. Links to more information about most topics discussed on the show are often available at the CASCADE OF HISTORY Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/cascadeofhistory This broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, April 5, 2026 via SPACE 101.1 FM and gallantly streaming via www.space101fm.org from historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Brice Budke (President) and Zeek Earl (Executive Creative Director) run two Seattle studios: Shep, a video agency that works with tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, and Packrat, a creative studio that specializes in miniature worlds, handmade sets, and retro creative projects. You might know Packrat's work from the epic and widely watched 2025 Seahawks schedule release video, which won a Gold Clio. They also made Prospect, an indie sci-fi film that premiered at SXSW in 2018 with Pedro Pascal and Sophie Thatcher. GeekWire met them last fall on the set of a stop-motion shoot for Kiro, an AI-powered agentic software development tool from Amazon Web Services. Check out the video they made from that shoot here. On this episode, Brice and Zeek discuss how AI is transforming their work — from photorealistic storyboarding to stop-motion animation filled in by AI-generated frames — and what still requires human creativity, taste, and intuition. Plus: the psychology of working with "infinite tools," why AI doesn't always save money, and the GeekWire Trivia Challenge. With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop; Edited by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we join AWS Senior GTM Specialists Aidin Khosrowshahi and Rakesh Kumar to unpack how Kiro is transforming software development through a spec-driven approach that goes beyond traditional AI-assisted coding. We cover what sets spec-driven development apart from "vibe coding" and why Kiro's spec-first approach matters. We also tackle the mindset shifts developers must make when adopting Kiro. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on whether the "Software Engineer" title could eventually be redefined—and the skills and first steps anyone needs to get started with Kiro today.Try Kiro today:kiro.devAWS Hosts: Nolan Chen & Malini ChatterjeeEmail Your Feedback: rethinkpodcast@amazon.com

Washington state residents are feeling the pinch at the pump as gas prices skyrocket, reaching the second-highest in the nation at an average of $4.23 per gallon. This surge, a 40-cent increase in just one month, is largely attributed to the state's gas tax and Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which adds approximately 40-50 cents per gallon. Critics, including KIRO host Gee Scott, point out that working families are disproportionately affected, facing tough choices between essential trips and getting to work. Despite billions raised by the CCA since 2021, the state has yet to provide concrete data on its environmental impact, raising concerns about transparency and the true cost of these climate policies. Former Governor Jay Inslee's promise of 'pennies' is now a distant memory as Washington drivers face some of the highest gas prices in the country.

AI-assisted coding tools have made it easier than ever to spin up prototypes, but turning those prototypes into reliable, production-grade systems remains a major challenge. Large language models are non-deterministic, prone to drift, and often lose track of intent over long development sessions. Kiro is an AI-powered IDE that's built around a spec-driven development workflow. The post Amazon's IDE for Spec-Driven Development with David Yanacek appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Apparently, Amazon's own AI coding assistant, Kiro, was to blame for an AWS outage. The AI decided the human code needed rewriting and... did it. Taking down a bunch of sites in the process. Of course, Amazon is downplaying this because AI is magic. Like Microsoft, they're apparently relying on "vibe coding" and the results speak for themselves.Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), de clouddienst van techreus Amazon, heeft in de afgelopen maanden minstens twee storingen gehad waarbij eigen AI-tools een rol speelden. Dat schrijft de Financial Times op basis van gesprekken met medewerkers. In december lag een systeem van AWS zo’n 13 uur stil nadat engineers de interne AI-codingtool Kiro toestemming gaven om wijzigingen door te voeren. Die zogeheten ‘agentic’ AI, die zelfstandig acties kan uitvoeren, besloot volgens betrokkenen de hele omgeving te verwijderen en opnieuw op te bouwen. Het ging om een systeem waarmee klanten hun AWS-kosten kunnen analyseren. Volgens Amazon betrof het een beperkte storing die slechts één dienst in delen van China raakte. Het zou bovendien al de tweede keer zijn geweest dat een AI-tool van AWS betrokken was bij een verstoring. In een eerder incident speelde een andere AI-hulp voor programmeurs een rol. Medewerkers zouden de AI-agent zonder extra menselijke controle hebben laten handelen, terwijl bij dit soort ingrepen normaal een tweede goedkeuring vereist is. Amazon zelf spreekt van ‘gebruikersfouten’ en benadrukt dat hetzelfde probleem ook met handmatige acties had kunnen ontstaan. Volgens het bedrijf was er geen sprake van een fundamenteel AI-probleem, maar van te ruime toegangsrechten. Inmiddels zijn extra veiligheidsmaatregelen ingevoerd, zoals verplichte peer reviews en aanvullende training. Intern zouden sommige medewerkers sceptisch zijn over de foutgevoeligheid, juist nu Amazon inzet op grootschalig AI-gebruik bij softwareontwikkeling. Verder in deze Tech Update: Meta trekt Virtual Reality los van Horizon Worlds: het ooit als dé metaverse gepresenteerde platform is nu vooral een mobiele app, zonder verplichte VR-bril en meer vergelijkbaar met platforms als Fortnite en Roblox. Meta zegt niet te stoppen met VR, maar snijdt wel in het team en richt zich vooral op AI en op ondersteuning van externe VR-ontwikkelaars.

Formal verification already consumes years of human effort.In this episode, Lukas Biewald talks with Carina Hong, Founder & CEO of Axiom, about why verification is becoming the real bottleneck in high stakes AI systems.They discuss how Axiom uses AI to take on the tedious checking that stretches verification cycles across years, starting with formal mathematics and extending to hardware and software.Carina also explains why Axiom's approach to auto-formalization mirrors spec driven models like Kiro from AWS.Connect with us here:Carina Hong: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carina-hong/Axiom: https://www.linkedin.com/company/axiommath/Lukas Biewald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbiewald/Weights & Biases: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wandb/

2024 was the year of "Generative AI Hype," AWS re:Invent 2025 was the moment the cloud officially got physical.Fresh off the event in Las Vegas, Colin Masson, Director of Research for Industrial AI, ARC Advisory Group sat down with Steve Blackwell, Leader of the Worldwide Manufacturing Center of Excellence at AWS, to compare notes. He had just published ARC's Top 10 Takeaways for Industrial AI, and Steve came prepared with his own list: the Top 7 Strategic Announcements that he believes will reshape the manufacturing landscape.Colin's conversation zeroed in on the practical realities of deploying AI—from the "silicon to the edge." They discussed the massive potential of AWS Transform to pay down technical debt, the shift to "Frontier Agents" like Kiro, and the critical need for a new kind of talent through the Physical AI Fellowship.You can listen to the full conversation Here on Buzzsprout or watch the video episode on the ARC Advisory Group YouTube Channel.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?

What are the advantages of spec-driven development compared to vibe coding with an LLM? Are these recent trends a move toward declarative programming? This week on the show, Marc Brooker, VP and Distinguished Engineer at AWS, joins us to discuss specification-driven development and Kiro.

Send us a textA bus-powered hackathon, a $100K prize for a gloriously “useless” app, and keynotes that said AI so many times you could turn it into a supercut—re:Invent 2025 brought energy, irony, and real signals hiding in the noise. We're joined by AWS Hero Chris Williams to unpack what actually matters: where AI is genuinely useful, where it's lipstick on a feature, and how builders should adapt without losing the plot.We dig into the Road to re:Invent hackathon and why the winning project—turning a tiny script into a sprawling multi-repo monster—was the sharpest commentary on over-engineering all week. From there, we break down the AI-first keynotes, new Graviton efficiency gains that could tame power budgets, and the push to own the entire stack from silicon to agents. Kiro's spec-driven development gets real talk too: amazing for scaffolding, documentation, and repo exploration; risky when you ask a confident hallucination to write production without tests, reviews, or security controls.The conversation shifts to careers and craft with Werner Vogels' parting challenge: become a “Renaissance developer.” Learn systems, networking, security, and economics, then layer AI to explore design space faster. If you're just starting out, don't begin with prompts—build fundamentals and use AI to shape your learning plan. We wrap with the sleeper headline: first-party multi-cloud connectivity. It's overdue, it's serious, and it could reshape how enterprises stitch providers together while raising new questions about SLAs, accountability, and incident response between hyperscalers.Hit play for a clear-eyed debrief that filters the hype, celebrates real progress, and offers practical guidance for teams shipping in 2025. If this helped you make sense of re:Invent, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and drop your bold prediction for the year ahead.Where to find Chris:https://x.com/mistwirehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfwilliams/https://vbrownbag.com/Purchase Chris and Tim's book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Monthly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

Laurent Jalbert-Simard, Architecte de Solutions Senior chez AWS, présente Autoclaw, une machine à pince contrôlée non pas par une manette, mais par une intelligence artificielle agentique. L'utilisateur formule simplement une demande en langage naturel, et l'agent coordonne vision, déplacements et actions pour attraper le chocolat demandé. Le projet a été entièrement développé avec Kiro, qui a généré le code et permis d'itérer rapidement, révélant un nouveau mode de création logicielle où les développeurs deviennent des superviseurs. L'expérience a surpris les visiteurs du Builder's Fair et illustre un changement de paradigme : l'IA commence à agir dans le monde physique, en exécutant des tâches réelles plutôt que seulement produire du texte.

Sébastien Stormacq, responsable des relations développeurs chez AWS, explique comment le Vibe Coding bouleverse la manière de programmer : générer une application complète en discutant simplement avec un agent IA, même depuis son canapé.Interview : Sébastien Stormacq, responsable des relations avec les développeurs chez AWSQu'est-ce que le Vibe Coding et qu'est-ce que ça change pour les développeurs ?Le Vibe Coding consiste à programmer avec l'IA. Grâce à un chatbot intégré dans l'environnement de développement, on peut lui demander résoudre un problème, d'analyser des erreurs ou de générer du code. Cela permet d'aller beaucoup plus vite. Par exemple, j'ai personnellement créé un jeu pour iOS en quelques minutes, du fond de mon canapé. Certes l'application n'était pas parfaite, mais l'agent me proposait spontanément des corrections, et en une heure, tout fonctionnait. Sans écrire une ligne de code ! Aujourd'hui, je l'utilise au quotidien pour tout ce qui est répétitif, rébarbatif, et ça me fait gagner un temps énorme. On peut d'ailleurs télécharger l'environnement Kiro directement sur le site kiro.dev.Le Vibe Coding peut-il être utilisé à l'échelle d'une entreprise ?Le Vibe Coding est très efficace pour un développeur seul, mais il n'est pas facilement répétable en équipe. On peut vite perdre la trace de ce qui a été généré, comment et pourquoi.C'est pour cela que nous avons introduit une approche plus structurée chez AWS : le Spec Driven Development. L'agent rédige d'abord des spécifications en langage naturel, puis propose un design technique, avant de générer les tâches et le squelette du projet. Toutes ces étapes sont documentées et versionnées dans le repository, par exemple sur GitHub. Cela permet de garder un historique clair, partageable, et d'évoluer proprement, même un an plus tard. C'est cette méthode qui rend possible le passage à l'échelle.Les agents autonomes : la prochaine étape ?On voit apparaître des agents capables de tourner longtemps, sur serveur, et d'exécuter des tâches de fond : analyser des logs, réagir à des erreurs, croiser des sources de données, alerter… C'est comme avoir une personne supplémentaire dans l'équipe, disponible 24h/24.Un agent, au fond, c'est juste du code. Il s'appuie sur un modèle pour décider quels outils utiliser et dans quel ordre. Moi, j'aime comparer ça à un passe-plat : le modèle décide, l'agent exécute, puis lui renvoie les résultats jusqu'à atteindre l'objectif fixé. Aucun mystère, juste des API et une boucle logique très simple.Podcast de Sébastien Stormacq : AWS en français.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

À Las Vegas pour ReInvent, Julien Grouès revient sur la stratégie IA d'AWS, l'arrivée de Nova 2, l'essor des agents intelligents et les enjeux de souveraineté numérique en Europe.Interview : Julien Grouès, CEO AWS France et Europe du SudL'IA est désormais centrale dans la stratégie d'AWS. Quelle est votre approche ?Depuis le début, notre objectif est d'offrir aux entreprises le plus large choix possible de modèles. Je suis convaincu qu'il faut combiner plusieurs approches : de grands modèles quand la puissance est nécessaire, et des modèles plus petits et spécialisés pour des cas plus ciblés. Cela va plus vite, coûte moins cher et permet d'innover plus rapidement. Avec Nova, puis Nova 2, nous avons travaillé sur le meilleur rapport performance-coût, ajouté la multimodalité et surtout introduit NovaForge, qui permet aux entreprises de créer leurs propres modèles basés sur Nova, entraînés avec leurs données, tout en gardant le contrôle total.ReInvent, c'est devenu un rendez-vous incontournable. Qu'est-ce que cet événement représente ?ReInvent est l'occasion de réunir clients, partenaires et toute notre communauté. On fait le bilan de l'année, on écoute les témoignages des entreprises qui utilisent nos services pour se transformer, et on dévoile notre vision pour l'année suivante. Au-delà des annonces, c'est surtout une énergie incroyable : on voit vraiment comment le cloud et l'IA redessinent les modèles d'affaires. C'est pour ça que des dizaines de milliers de personnes viennent à Las Vegas chaque année.L'IA agentique explose. Quels usages observez-vous ?On voit l'IA agentique arriver à maturité très vite. Les agents sont capables d'analyser, d'agir et de conserver la mémoire de leurs actions. Trois grands usages se démarquent : la transformation des centres de relation client, où les agents gèrent déjà une grande partie des demandes ; le développement logiciel, avec des agents capables de moderniser du code, d'assurer la sécurité ou même de créer des applications à partir de spécifications ; et la gestion continue des opérations. Des outils comme Kiro ou encore la plateforme Adjuncore, déjà utilisée par plus d'un million d'utilisateurs, montrent à quel point ces technologies deviennent de véritables ingénieurs virtuels capables de travailler sur plusieurs jours ou semaines.Comment répondez-vous aux inquiétudes sur la souveraineté numérique ?Pour moi, une entreprise est souveraine si elle est performante et peut choisir où sont stockées ses données et qui y accède. Chez AWS, nous n'avons pas accès aux données de nos clients : tout est chiffré, et même nos administrateurs ne peuvent pas y accéder grâce à notre technologie Nitro. Et pour aller plus loin, nous lançons le European Sovereign Cloud, une région opérée depuis l'Europe, par des employés européens, selon le droit européen. Cela permet à ceux qui en ont besoin d'utiliser nos technologies tout en restant dans un cadre souverain strict.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

What is "spec-driven development," and why is this structured approach the key to unlocking complex AI projects? We're joined by Amit Patel, Director of Software Development for Kiro at AWS, to explore this methodology. He explains why "vibe coding" in a chat window fails on multi-day initiatives: the AI (and the developer) loses context. Kiro solves this by turning requirements and design into a persistent, structured spec that acts as the agent's long-term memory, enabling it to maintain context and build sophisticated applications.Amit shares the inside story of how his team at AWS built Kiro from scratch in under a year. He reveals their virtuous feedback loop with internal developers testing nightly builds and providing real-time feedback. This rapid iteration, which included six full revs of the spec experience, was so successful that the Kiro team famously "used the tool to build the tool," turning a multi-week feature into a two-day task. LinearB: Your AI productivity journey starts hereFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest(s):Learn more and try Kiro: kiro.devJoin the Kiro Community: Kiro Discord Channel OFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.

In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I sit down with AWS's Clare Liguori and Erik Hanchett to talk about Kiro, a brand-new AI-powered IDE that's reimagining the way developers build software. We dive into how Kiro takes “AI-assisted coding” to a new level through spec-driven development — a process that focuses on defining requirements and collaborating with AI to break projects into clear, manageable tasks.We unpack what sets Kiro apart from tools like Cursor and Copilot, explore its supervised vs. autopilot coding modes, and even talk about how it handles UI design, planning, and complex legacy codebases. Clare and Erik share behind-the-scenes insights on how Kiro was built using Kiro itself, what's coming next for the platform, and how developers can join the early-access community to help shape its future.

Join an epic panel of AWS Heroes as they dive into their experiences with Kiro, the AI-powered IDE shaking up development workflows. From spec-driven coding to pricing discussions and game demos, this conversation mixes deep tech insights with fun moments. Whether curious about AI's impact on coding or just looking for some cloud community vibes, this session offers laughs, honest feedback, and expert viewpoints.

Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) is joined by Deepak Singh (https://x.com/mndoci), Vice President at AWS and leader of Amazon's Agentic AI infrastructure teams. With over 17 years at Amazon and a PhD in theoretical chemistry, Deepak brings unparalleled insights into the development and future of AI agents, from early neural networks to today's autonomous multi-agent systems. In this episode, the conversation breaks down the hype vs. reality of AI agents. Deepak shares how AWS is pioneering true agentic AI—systems that use LLM-powered reasoning, autonomy, and reflection to tackle everything from Formula One race analytics to massive code migrations and breakthrough drug discovery. You'll also learn how even small businesses can start leveraging agentic tools today, the rise of new agent standards like MCP and A2A, and why skills in articulating and breaking down problems are more valuable than ever for future-proofing your career.

Rewarding customer loyalty is probably as old as commerce. These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card. The fact that these rewards have an intrinsic value is something many easily forget about, making them a great target for fraud.SponsorsRoutable - http://ohmyfraud.promo/routableHOW TO EARN FREE CPEIn less than 10 minutes, you can earn NASBA-approved accounting CPE after listening to this episode.
