Hi team!
Claude Fable 5 is now live, Anthropic’s first generally available Mythos-class model.
If you’re interested in seeing us speak, we have a few opportunities coming up. Panos Panay, Senior VP of Amazon Devices & Services, has a fireside chat coming up at VivaTech in Paris, Dev Advocate Giovanni Laquidara is speaking at AI Engineer World’s Fair, and Kourtney Meiss is speaking at DevRelCon NYC.
On the build side, React Native 0.86 and Kiro Web both shipped, Amazon Kids+ launched Sleep Studio for Echo, and Ring Appstore published some videos about getting set up.
Let’s dive in!
Dev Updates
React Native 0.86 — Ships edge-to-edge rendering by default plus DevTools improvements, with no breaking changes, so the upgrade is a clean version bump.
Announcements
Claude Fable 5 is now available on Amazon Bedrock, with coverage on About Amazon and Anthropic
- Anthropic’s first generally available Mythos-class model lands on Bedrock with built-in safeguards, so you can build against it through the same APIs you already use.
Echo Kids devices launch Sleep Studio via Amazon Kids+
- Amazon Kids+ added Sleep Studio to Echo, pairing wind-down soundscapes from Calm, Moshi, and Headspace with the kids experience on Echo speakers.
New in Kiro Web: Build with Spec, GitLab, and more
- Kiro Web’s preview now runs spec-driven builds from the browser and connects to GitLab, extending Kiro beyond the desktop IDE.

If a TV port is on your roadmap, read AI-Assisted React Native Migration for TV: Lessons From Zattoo first: it’s a real migration, including the platform differences that bit the team. There’s also a new three-part Ring Appstore how-to series below, starting with How to Connect Third-Party Apps to Your Ring Devices, which is worth a pass if you’re integrating with Ring.
AI-Assisted React Native Migration for TV: Lessons From Zattoo
By Łukasz Chludziński
A real migration writeup from Zattoo on bringing a React Native app to TV, with the shared-code wins, the platform differences that bit them, and how AI tooling fit into the team’s workflow. Worth a read if you’re eyeing a TV target for an existing RN app, Vega included.
How frontier teams are reinventing AI-native development
By Swami Sivasubramanian
The teams getting the most out of AI aren’t just coding faster, they’re redesigning how software gets built around agents. This piece walks through what that shift looks like in practice and the org changes that come with it, with a reported 4.5x productivity gain to anchor the case. Worth a read if you’re trying to move past “AI autocomplete” into something structural.
Build context-rich research agents with Deep Agents and Bedrock AgentCore
By Sundar Raghavan and Saurav Das
A hands-on build: a competitive-research agent that plans, gathers, and synthesizes, demonstrated end to end on Deep Agents with Bedrock AgentCore. The walkthrough is aimed at developers who want a concrete pattern for long-running agents that hold context across steps rather than a toy demo.
Stop Writing Code AI Agents Can’t Read
By Syed Ahmer Shah
Messy architecture and weak typing don’t just slow humans down, they break the automated workflows you’re starting to hand to coding agents. This one argues that the discipline that makes code legible to an agent — clear boundaries, strong types, predictable structure — is the same discipline that’s always made it legible to people, and that the agent era just raises the cost of skipping it.
How to Connect Third-Party Apps to Your Ring Devices
Part one of a three-part Ring Appstore series: connecting and integrating third-party apps with your Ring security devices. It covers browsing available apps, reviewing data-sharing permissions, and selecting which devices each app can use.
How to Manage Ring Device Access for Third-Party Apps
Part two: controlling which Ring devices a connected app can reach, using the per-device toggles in your app’s device-access settings.
How to Remove Third-Party Apps from Your Ring Account
Part three, the last in the series: disconnecting an app, which means canceling active subscriptions first, removing free or trial integrations, and pausing device access as an alternative to a full removal.
