🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BRIGHT DATA

84% Deploy Gen AI Use Cases in Under Six Months – Real-Time Web Access Makes the Difference

Your product is only as good as the data it’s built on. Outdated, blocked, or missing web sources force your team to fix infrastructure instead of delivering new features.

Bright Data connects your AI agents to public web data in real time with reliable APIs. That means you spend less time on maintenance and more time building. No more chasing after unexpected failures or mismatches your agents get the data they need, when they need it.

Teams using Bright Data consistently deliver stable and predictable products, accelerate feature development, and unlock new opportunities with continuous, unblocked web access.

Amazon Web Services Expands AI Agent Strategy at AWS re:Invent 2025

Intelligence: Amazon Web Services used the opening of AWS re:Invent 2025 to unveil a series of AI upgrades focused on giving enterprise customers more control and flexibility over customized AI agents.

• CEO Matt Garman emphasized that AI agents, not assistants, are starting to deliver real business value by performing and automating tasks independently.

• AWS introduced its Trainium3 AI training chip and an UltraServer system designed to boost performance up to four times while cutting energy use by 40 percent, with Trainium4 already in development for Nvidia compatibility.

• The AgentCore platform gained new policy tools to set boundaries for AI agents, along with memory and evaluation features enabling better oversight.

• Three new “Frontier agents” were announced, including the Kiro autonomous agent that writes code and adapts to team workflows, operating largely on its own for extended periods.

• A new Nova model family and the Nova Forge service offer customers greater options to build, customize, and refine AI models using proprietary data.

• Partnerships showcased real-world adoption, including Lyft’s use of Anthropic’s Claude via Amazon Bedrock, which cut issue resolution times by 87 percent and boosted driver engagement by 70 percent.

• AWS introduced “AI Factories” that let large organizations deploy AI systems within private data centers, addressing data sovereignty concerns by integrating both Nvidia and AWS hardware.

2. Watch it build your agent - It turns your insights into an AI agent that speaks, reasons, and responds like you. No configuration needed.

3. Get your ready to share site - Appy.AI auto generates your white labeled page, sets up payments, and handles all the backend work.

OpenAGI Challenges OpenAI and Anthropic with New Computer-Control AI

Intelligence: OpenAGI, a startup founded by MIT researcher Zengyi Qin, unveiled its Lux AI model, claiming it can control computers more effectively and cheaply than rival systems from OpenAI and Anthropic.

• Lux achieved an 83.6 percent success rate on the Online-Mind2Web benchmark, outperforming OpenAI’s Operator at 61.3 percent and Anthropic’s Claude Computer Use at 56.3 percent.

• The benchmark, developed by Ohio State University and UC Berkeley, evaluates AI agents on 300 real-world web tasks, exposing performance gaps between marketing claims and actual results.

• Lux is trained using “Agentic Active Pre-training,” learning from screenshots and action sequences rather than text, allowing it to generate actions and continually improve through exploration.

• OpenAGI says Lux operates at about one-tenth the cost of competitors while running faster and controlling both desktop and web applications, expanding its practical use beyond browsers.
