A decade of mathematical certainty: Reflections on the Automated Reasoning Group

Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

AWS Trainium Frontier competition: Co-design models and kernels on purpose-built AI chips

A competition with a finalist ceremony during NeurIPS 2026, challenging researchers to train language models from scratch on Trainium, exploring what optimal architectures look like when the hardware changes.

34 Amazon Research Awards Build on Trainium recipients announced

Amazon announces 34 recipients of the Build on Trainium program, a $110 million credit initiative supporting AI research at 30 universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley, UIUC, UCLA, CMU, and MIT, with a focus on Responsible AI.

How controllers from industrial machinery can coordinate multitask machine learning

Instead of compromising among parameter updates dictated by different training objectives, ControlG allocates computational capacity to objectives sequentially and dynamically.

A new benchmark for evaluating patient-facing health AI agents

PatientAgentBench generates a synthetic patient health record, a realistic clinical vignette, and a patient agent that converses with the AI system under evaluation, to capture what a patient-facing agent actually has to do.

Amazon is investing in the Lean Focused Research Organization

As AI agents take on higher-stakes decisions, Lean programming language makes it possible to mathematically prove they will behave safely.

Amazon and University of Michigan give robots a sense of touch

HydroShear, a new physics-based simulator, teaches robots how to use their sense of touch to perform complex manipulation tasks, in a way that transfers seamlessly to the real world.

Millimeter-scale particles of nuclear-reactor fuel are encased in four layers of different materials that act as a miniature containment system .

EC2’s formally verified “isolation engine” provides mathematical assurance of virtual-machine isolation

Splitting the separation kernel off from the rest of the Nitro security system and using only a subset of the Rust programming language to code it enabled its formal verification.

Graviton5’s improved design increases speed and energy efficiency — beyond Moore’s law

A new chiplet architecture, custom die-to-die connectivity, and support for DDR5-8800 memory and the latest PCIe gen6 interconnects improve performance by 25% for general-purpose and agentic AI workloads.
