AWS re:Invent isn't at the same time or area, but we're setting aside 100 complimentary passes for folks with cancelled GHC registrations. While re:Invent isn't a replacement for GHC, I also hope that it will give folks a chance to connect Nov 30-Dec 4th, in Las Vegas. Please email [email protected]

@tlakomy Have an unlimited budget for books. Never tell them that it there or that it is unlimited, but buy them any book that they need or want, and buy them proactively for subjects they express an interest in.

Today we're excited to share Strands Harness. Strands Harness makes it easier to build reliable, cost-effective, agents with any model. It's open source, too!

And equal or better performance to proprietary harnesses with 28% fewer tokens!

Seconded...
