Amazon Web Services joined the agentic AI frenzy in a big way this week, revealing at a New York City event Wednesday a host of services and tools dubbed Agentcore that let technologists build and deploy so-called AI agents capable of automating internal tasks while potentially overhauling the way consumers interact with online businesses too.

AWS news in 2025 focuses on AI innovation, Nvidia partnership, agentic AI, partner programs, new chips, billions in data center investments, cloud market share and Bedrock.

Data graph platform Apollo GraphQL co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Matt DeBergalis is moving up to CEO, succeeding co-founder and CEO Geoff Schmidt, who will remain at Apollo in a new role focused on advancing the company’s technology and the GraphQL ecosystem.

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is well under way. The AI market was valued at around $190 billion in 2023. By 2033, however, the United Nations predicts the market will be worth nearly $5 trillion.

For Silicon Valley giants, getting ahead in the artificial intelligence race requires more than building the biggest, most capable models; they’re also competing to get third-party developers to build new applications based on their technology.

The news arrives at a time when employers are facing growing pressure to onboard AI agents -- and also a dizzying variety of options.

AWS beleives AI agents will change how enterprises work and with its new Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, it hopes to make it easier to build and deploy agents in one go.

Amazon has confirmed to multiple sources that it has laid off many employees in its Amazon Web (AWS) division, with the news coming after another massive investment in AI technologies.

At AWS Summit, Deepak Singh, VP of developer agents and experiences at AWS, spoke with ZDNET about how agentic AI will bring about a new way of approaching work.

Amazon Web Services is preparing to launch a new AI agent marketplace, according to information acquired by TechCrunch. Anthropic is expected to be one of its partners in the endeavor. The marketplace is likely to open on July 15, just after its official announcement at the AWS Summit in New York City.

Deepak Singh, Vice President at Amazon Web Services, discusses the insatiable demand for AI chips and how the technology is driving the company's business and growth.
