Amazon Previews 3 AI Agents, Including ‘Kiro’ That Can Code on its Own for Days
Amazon Web Services on Tuesday announced three new AI agents it calls “frontier agents,” including one designed to learn how you like to work and then operate on its own for days.
Each of these agents handle different tasks such as writing code, security processes like code reviews, and automating DevOps tasks such as preventing incidents when pushing new code live. Preview versions of the agents are available now.
Perhaps the biggest and most interesting claim by AWS is its promise that the frontier agent called “Kiro autonomous agent” can work on its own for days at a time.

Google Photos’ 2025 Recap turns to Gemini to find your highlights
Google Photos users can now access their year-end Recap, the photo-hosting site’s own version of something akin to Spotify Wrapped. Like other annual reviews, the Google Photos Recap lets you look back on your past year in photos, offering a combination of memorable highlights enhanced with graphics and other effects, plus photo stats and more.
U.S. users will also gain access to a new feature powered by Google’s AI, Gemini, which will showcase your hobbies and other top highlights, the company says.

Anthropic Signs $200M Deal to Bring its LLMs to Snowflake’s Customers
AI research lab Anthropic’s not slowing down in its efforts to snap up enterprise clients. The company on Wednesday said it is expanding its partnership with cloud data company Snowflake in a $200 million multi-year AI deal that will bring Anthropic’s large language models to Snowflake’s platform and, consequently, to its sizable customer base.
“Anthropic joins a very select group of partners where we have nine-figure alignment, co-innovation at the product level, and a proven track record of executing together for customers worldwide,” Snowflake’s co-founder and CEO, Sridhar Ramaswamy, said in the blog post. “Together, the combined power of Claude and Snowflake is raising the bar for how enterprises deploy scalable, context-aware AI on top of their most critical business data.”
This deal is also being positioned as a joint go-to-market initiative to bring AI agents to enterprise customers.

Ignite UI for Angular 21.0 Is Out! What’s New & Exciting
As developers look to take advantage of the latest Angular innovations, having tools that keep pace with the framework’s evolution becomes essential. To align Ignite UI for Angular 21 with everything new, we’ve released exciting features and improvements.
With this release, Ignite UI for Angular not only adds full support for Angular 21, but also introduces significant grid filtering performance improvements, a brand-new Grid PDF Exporter, and AI Chat Component.
Let’s explore all in detail in this blog.

Why Angular ARIA in v21 is Pretty Neat
Angular ARIA is a collection of headless, accessible directives that implement common WAI-ARIA patterns. The directives handle keyboard interactions, ARIA attributes, focus management, and screen reader support. All you have to do is provide the HTML structure, CSS styling, and business logic!
So the Angular team just (together with v21 on Nov 19th, 2025, more about the Angular v21 release in Manfred's post) released a brand-new collection of components – I mean directives – that implement common web patterns while letting you choose your own HTML, styling (CSS, SCSS, or even Tailwind), and business logic (I'd suggest TypeScript).

How To Migrate to Signal Inputs and Queries Without Rewriting Your Templates
Hey, let’s talk about why reactive programming — and especially Angular’s signals — are blowing up right now. You’ve probably noticed how apps need to feel snappier and more responsive these days, right? Signals make that happen by letting your Angular code react to data changes automatically, cutting out a ton of the old-school hassle with change detection.
So, quick rundown: Signal inputs are like smart inputs that feed reactive data straight into your components, and signal queries let you pull and react to derived stuff from those inputs. They’re a big deal because they make your apps predictably fast and way easier to manage — no more wrestling with endless subscriptions or zone.js quirks. Read more.

Architecting Efficient Context-Aware Multi-Agent Framework for Production
The landscape of AI agent development is shifting fast. We’ve moved beyond prototyping single-turn chatbots. Today, organizations are deploying sophisticated, autonomous agents to handle long-horizon tasks: automating workflows, conducting deep research, and maintaining complex codebases.
That ambition immediately runs into a bottleneck: context.
As agents run longer, the amount of information they need to track—chat history, tool outputs, external documents, intermediate reasoning—explodes. The prevailing “solution” has been to lean on ever-larger context windows in foundation models. But simply giving agents more space to paste text can not be the single scaling strategy.

Progress on TypeScript 7 – December 2025
Earlier this year, the TypeScript team announced that we’ve been porting the compiler and language service to native code to take advantage of better raw performance, memory usage, and parallelism. This effort (codenamed “Project Corsa”, and soon “TypeScript 7.0”) has been a significant undertaking, but we’ve made big strides in the past few months. We’re excited to give some updates on where we are, and show you how “real” the new TypeScript toolset is today.
We also have news about our upcoming roadmap, and how we’re prioritizing work on TypeScript 7.0 to drive our port to completion.
