    Introducing India-based inference for Kimi K3 on Amazon Bedrock

    Amazon Bedrock now supports in-country inference in India for Moonshot AI's multi-modal, open-weight Kimi K3 model via the in.moonshotai.kimi-k3 geographic inference profile, processing requests in the Mumbai and Hyderabad Regions for workloads with strict data residency requirements. The post explains global versus India inference profiles and walks through an example of OCR and document understanding for Indic-language documents, including structured extraction and follow-up questions in code-mixed Hinglish. It also covers prompt caching, service tiers, and CloudWatch monitoring, citing Ultrahuman's report of 80 percent lower LLM costs and 85 percent faster multi-turn chats with prompt caching.

    Agentic cheminformatics with Google Antigravity

    Google describes Cheminformatics Skills for Google Antigravity that pair a language model for workflow orchestration and scientific reasoning with deterministic RDKit-based tools and ChEMBL/PubChem connectors. In a lung cancer walkthrough, an agent retrieved thousands of compounds, ran matched molecular pair analysis, built potency models, and proposed rigidified macrocycles with synthesis routes in about an hour. The authors note that sparse data and assay noise limit predictive precision, so computational designs remain testable hypotheses requiring experimental validation.

    Why it matters: It offers a concrete, technically detailed example of agent-assisted drug discovery, including both demonstrated capabilities and stated limitations.

    Google will let schools disable its AI tools, but not without sacrificing Search

    Google announced it will disable AI tools for K-12 students next year unless school administrators explicitly turn them on, affecting Gemini, NotebookLM, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search. Because AI features are now integrated into Search, schools that restrict AI entirely will lose access to Google Search, a Google VP told The New York Times. The change was announced alongside the launch of Guided Learning in schools, an AI tutor tool unveiled earlier this year.

    Service Accounts

    Amp introduced Service Accounts: workspace-owned accounts created by workspace admins that are not tied to a single user, with their own API keys and third-party credentials, whose threads are visible to and usable by other workspace members. They suit team-owned work such as codebase review and maintenance, recurring documentation checks, and programmatic invocations like a CI job that starts a thread via amp -ox using the service account's API key. Because anyone in the workspace can drive a service account's threads, credentials assigned to it should be ones you would be comfortable giving all workspace members.

    Show HN: Rigorix, Execution governance for AI agents, open-source engine

    Rigorix is an open-source execution governance engine that revalidates authority at the moment a consequential AI-agent action would execute, refusing and signing the decision if authority has changed since approval. It records HMAC-signed, hash-chained evidence with Ed25519 checkpoints, and publishes verifiers on crates.io, npm and PyPI (five languages, with Java and Go in-repo) so third parties can check records offline. The engine is Apache-2.0/MIT Rust, with an enterprise control plane for policy, audit and shared capacity that configures and observes but never makes the enforcement decision.

    Show HN: A tool to optimize AI model cost without benchmark score trade-offs

    This interactive page applies data envelopment analysis (following Zhou et al., 2022) to compare AI models' API cost per 1,000 benchmark tasks against their benchmark scores, identifying cheaper models or blends that match a given score. It notes that savings are benchmark estimates excluding latency, quotas, switching and other deployment costs, and that users should test alternatives on their own tasks. The single-slide creation task uses the free disposal hull variant and compares single models only, since its preference ratings cannot be averaged.

    Anthropic's Message Threads cut time to first token by 35 percent for long conversations

    Anthropic released Message Threads as a public beta on its Claude platform, which transmits only what has changed since the last message instead of resending the full conversation history. According to Anthropic, this cuts time to first token by about 35 percent for requests between 500,000 and one million tokens, with coding agents, computer-use agents, and document- or image-heavy workflows benefiting most. Threads stay encrypted in memory between requests and expire after five minutes of inactivity, token usage is unchanged, and the feature works on the Claude platform and through AWS, Microsoft Foundry, and Google Cloud.

    Show HN: Try an AI agent wallet in the browser – buy a stamp from a bot

    A hosted browser demo lets users get a private BitcoinZ test wallet with free starter coins, message an AI house agent to request a stamp, pay a 50 BTCZ Deal offer, and verify the delivered stamp's SHA-256 fingerprint. The demo takes about five minutes and requires one BitcoinZ block (roughly 2.5 minutes) before delivery; starter coins cannot be withdrawn, and every send pays a 1 BTCZ fee to operator Z-TEXT LLC. Transactions are shielded via zk-SNARKs, though the server can see the test wallet's activity.

    Artifacts

    Agents in Amp can now collaborate with users and teammates in Artifacts, documents that belong to a single thread and that the agent, the user, and teammates can all edit. The agent writes an artifact instead of a long reply when it has something to read, such as a plan, report, or call notes, and when it returns to the artifact it reads the user's edits first and works them in rather than overwriting them. Users can open Views → Artifacts in any thread or ask Amp to write one.
