💡 Fascinating take by Marc Brooker, Distinguished Engineer, on Kiro and spec-driven development - moving beyond vibe coding to a new era where AI and structured specifications meet. An important perspective on where software development is heading. 👉 Read it here:

Amazon has announced the public preview of kiro.dev, a new AI-powered IDE. The platform is powered by Claude 4.0 and features native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support, allowing developers to integrate both local and cloud MCP servers seamlessly. Amazon

Kiro is my new favorite editor. I’ve been using it non stop and made a video showing how to use and be effective with Kiro. It’s dope. youtu.be/8k1g-E1qGyQ?si…

In my blog post on spec-driven development in Kiro, I was a little cheeky in picking Towers of Hanoi as an example. I was obliquely making a point I think is important: it doesn't practically matter if LLMs can play ToH, if systems of LLMs and tools (like code interpreters) can.

🚨 Huge news: OpenAI's open weight models are available today on AWS via Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI. This means more access to powerful AI tech and advanced reasoning capabilities for millions of Amazon Web Services customers worldwide. More options, more innovation, more

We’ve reached a new milestone in AI safety. Today, Amazon Web Services is launching Automated Reasoning checks in Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, bringing a new level of mathematical certainty to your AI outputs. What makes this truly revolutionary is our two-stage approach: we use LLMs to

Interesting launch in Amazon Bedrock of new OpenAI open weight models. These text models are 18x more price performant than DeepSeek-R1, 10x more price performant than Gemini 2.5 Pro, and 7x more price performant than multi-modal o4-mini. Very strong performance in Bedrock, and

100k+ developers in our first week. We're blown away! We launched Kiro in preview expecting to hit capacity over a few months. You all embraced it in just days. 👻 🤍 To everyone on the waitlist: We've started onboarding thousands of developers from the waitlist this week. For

Kiro's new usage tracking gives you more control. 🔗 spr.ly/6012fse9g Real-time visibility into what you're actually using, plus flexible overage pricing instead of forced tier jumps. Here's how it works: 🧵

What if the best code isn’t the one you write, but the behavior you define?  Richard Threlkeld (Ricardo), Principal Engineer at Kiro IDE, dives into the philosophy of specifications and modern methods for defining system behavior, showing why specifying what software does

Most AI coding tools lock you into a linear rabbit hole. Once the code is generated, it’s hard to go back. In our interview with Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman, he explains how Kiro flips that: Start with a spec → build against it → update as you go. The spec stays the

Should engineers be discouraged from editing code once specs are set? Richard Threlkeld (Ricardo), Principal Engineer at Kiro IDE (AWS) explains why letting developers directly edit code isn’t necessarily a problem and how specs can stay robust even as workflows evolve.
