Today we're announcing Strands Box, our open source sandbox for developers building AI agents.
New blog post from me, on the Strands blog: https://t.co/UHjn1XA1bE
Imagine lying in a hospital room, watching an IV line drip away your remaining life.
You are weak and terrified, but you endure the agony of chemotherapy because every drop represents hope, another birthday, another chance to watch your children grow. You hold your partner’s hand and pray the treatment works.
You die three months later. Your family grieves, believing the cancer was just too aggressive, never knowing that your fight was stolen from you before it even began. You weren't killed by a disease; you were executed by someone's profit margin.
The SIT arrested Veeresh Jain in Bengaluru for allegedly being involved in supplying fake anticancer medicines to more than 90 hospitals and clinics in Bengaluru, allegedly offering them at discounts of around 50 percent. Jain had been running this business for the last five years. His pharmacy allegedly repacked fake and expired medicines and relabelled them as drugs from big brands.
How many hundreds of men, women, and children in the last five years have fought with everything they had, kept their spirits up, and thought that staying positive would help the chemo work better, only to be handed a death sentence wrapped in counterfeit packaging? How many families emptied their life savings to buy bottled salt water while their loved ones faded away?
The most horrific part is that this is not an isolated case. It is happening with complete impunity across the country, only coming to light on the rare occasion that someone actually gets caught.
We removed ~80% of the Claude Code system prompt for our newest models, this is what we've learned about writing system prompts, skills and Claude.MDs for them. https://t.co/6DZwSrZjE9

ever have certain moments where the only thing in your mind is:
"what the fuck"
i mean you gotta admire the narrative discipline, the execution, & the go to market. this is incredible.
Chrome 146 includes an early preview of WebMCP, accessible via a flag, that lets AI agents query and execute services without browsing the web app like a user.
Services can be declared through an imperative navigator.modelContext API or declaratively through a form.
You don't magically become focused. You practice it. You notice you're distracted and snap out of it, over and over again until it's second nature. Most people have not trained this muscle, and they are not anywhere close to as focused as they think they are.
🚀 Built a chat app using Strands Agent SDK + AWS Bedrock, which will start a conversation & suggest follow up questions.

The hardest shift that happens when you have children is you no longer control your time. Your children own your time now.
Children become expensive when you want to buy back time for yourself. The more time you need for you, the more expensive they become.
