Are AI coding agents actually getting better?
When Kiro IDE's coding agents write or modify code, the diagnostics tool runs static analyzers to check the output. These are the same checks a developer sees underlined in their editor.

Prompt behavior is difficult to validate exhaustively. A system prompt operates across combinations of models, tools, codebases, tasks, and users that no test suite can fully cover.
At 2:33 AM PDT on a Sunday, an availability alarm fired for a frontier model. Production responses were stalling mid-stream, and monitoring opened a ticket automatically.
Kiro just shipped cloud sessions (preview), and it fixes the one thing that always bugged me about running an AI agent on my own machine: the machine. With cloud sessions, your agent runs in a cloud sandbox instead of on your laptop.
Kiro is not one thing anymore. In July 2025, we launched Kiro as an AI IDE. Since then, it has become much more. Kiro is a software engineering agent available as an IDE, a CLI, a web app, a mobile app, and Kiro Crew.
Last week, we brought together AWS Heroes from around the world to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the builders who go above and beyond for the AWS community.
You built something good. A skill that encodes how your team actually deploys, plus an MCP server that talks to your internal service. It works. So you package it for the client your team uses, and then you package it again for the client the team next door uses, and again for the one your open…
It’s late on a beautiful Friday afternoon, and you’re getting ready to sign off and enjoy the weather. Just as you’re wrapping up, a teammate pings about an urgent latency spike and needs your help.
Early on in building Kiro, we started talking about what agentic development should feel like across a developer’s day. The picture we kept coming back to was one where sessions move between your laptop, a cloud sandbox, and back again without friction.
OpenAI reduced prices for GPT‑5.6 Terra and Luna, and we’re passing those savings on to Kiro customers. Updated credit multipliers reflect OpenAI’s new pricing and are live now.
You just got a better Opus-class model for some of your hardest tasks in Kiro. Claude Opus 5 is available today across Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web — and it's a meaningful step up from Opus 4.8: stronger on the work that takes longest, better at coordinating parallel agents, and built with new controls…
The rapid adoption of AI-powered development tools like Kiro is transforming how we build software, enabling unprecedented speed and innovation. However, this advancement also introduces new information security challenges.
Last week, my team visited Seoul to meet AWS Korea User Group (AWSKRUG) leaders. AWSKRUG is the largest cloud developer community in Korea, with 20 meetup groups organized by topic and area that collectively host over 100 events each year, primarily in Seoul.
This week marks one year since we launched Kiro in preview. One of the most rewarding parts of the last twelve months has been watching startup founders pick up Kiro and build things we never expected. So today we're spotlighting that community. They’ve made Kiro better in ways that matter.
One year ago, we launched Kiro believing that AI coding workflows need structure, not just speed. As we mark one year, we’re proud to celebrate the builders who will shape what comes next: students.
OpenAI models are available in Kiro for the first time — and we couldn't think of a better way to mark the occasion. This launch also marks one year of Kiro: since public preview on July 14, 2025, Kiro has grown from a spec-driven IDE into a full agentic development platform spanning the IDE, CLI,…
A year ago today, we introduced Kiro to the world with a simple belief: developers deserve better than vibe coding. They deserve tools that help them think clearly, build confidently, and ship production-ready software without trading speed for quality.
