Global Entry is amazing. From doors open at JFK to getting off the LIRR at Penn Station c45 mins today! Think that may be a personal record!

✈️ LHR > JFK

Ah flying @British_Airways from LHR T5 and got the dreaded A10 gates. Nothing gets a journey off to the wrong start at T5 than having to get a bus to the aircraft

Wealth managers spend two-thirds of their time on non-core tasks. Nice blog from some of my @awscloud colleagues that explores what happens when you use agentic AI and graph DB to fundamentally rethink how advisors work 👇🏻 https://t.co/xfAGKpdsJA

Fun to be at a customer EBC in Prague and sharing how AWS is helping banks reinvent financial services. Great conversations!

[Chris Ibbitson @ibbitsc]

Nice run along the river in Prague after a long day in the office

👋 Hello Prague ! Although an evening of calls beckons 😭

GPT-5.5 is available natively on Amazon Bedrock, alongside GPT-5.4 and Codex. Customers can now build with the most advanced models and AI from OpenAI, under the AWS-grade security they already trust.  Zero Operator Access, no markup, spend counts toward existing AWS agreements! https://t.co/w0BOjy4MG4

[Matt Garman @mattsgarman]

Customers run production applications on @awscloud. Their data lives in AWS. They trust the security of AWS. Now the best @OpenAI models run there too.

GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex are GA on Amazon Bedrock: https://t.co/9YHp5tDez0

Starting the week early doors in Canary Wharf. Living the dream!

[Matt Garman @mattsgarman]

Most people thought flat data center networks would never work at hyperscale.

The @awscloud team figured it out.

Resilient Network Graphs are a completely new network architecture, now live.

33% better throughput, 40% less network power.

Now admittedly I’m a geek, but this is cool!

[AWS Newsroom @AWSNewsroom]

AWS has become the first hyperscaler to build a flat data center network using random graph theory. An approach academia called brilliant but impossible. Our team proved it's both. Watch applied scientist Giacomo Bernardi break down the new design and what it means for customers ↓ https://t.co/eUvGYcXEWq

Nice run in the London sun before heading to work; it’s already getting toasty !

[Chris Ibbitson @ibbitsc]

👋 London !

Always an inspirational week when I’m meeting with customers and Service Teams in our Seattle campus. Quick dinner, then off to SEA to head home
