Google Opens Connected Apps Preview For AI Mode & Gemini

AI summary Google has started a public preview of its Connected Apps Platform, which it first announced on Oct. 28, allowing developers to apply so that approved apps can work within AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app. Apps link up through a remote MCP server or Android's AppFunctions, are registered in Google Connected Console, and must pass Google's review and testing before going live. Google's policy bars apps from using misleading or overly broad descriptions to get the model to pick them over rival apps. More than 50 connected apps are already available, with Canva and Instacart among them, and Google plans to add Peloton, Adobe and other partners' apps to Search in the coming weeks.

Managing Amazon Bedrock costs end to end: A playbook for FinOps and platform teams

AI summary AWS has published guidance for FinOps and platform engineering teams on controlling generative AI costs on Amazon Bedrock, arguing that agentic workflows consume far more tokens per task than chat assistants. The proposed operating model runs as a repeating cycle: attribute spend, observe requests, enforce budgets, optimize platform defaults and hold regular reviews. Attribution relies on tagging IAM principals so costs appear per team or application in the Cost and Usage Report 2.0 and Cost Explorer within 24–48 hours, with per-user session roles fixing shared-gateway blind spots. Enforcement options range from AWS Budgets alerts to a Lambda and DynamoDB setup that adds users who exceed limits to an IAM deny policy.

AI summary Drew Breunig has built nesformer, which encodes an emulator of the Nintendo Entertainment System's 6502 processor directly into the weights of Qwen3.5-4B, letting games like Super Mario Bros run inside the model, though at a very slow pace. The project drew on Divyansh Agrawal's earlier qwenputer work. On Hacker News, Breunig shared the Opus 5.5 prompts he used to create it, and the model reportedly located and applied a set of NES CPU conformance tests published 15 years ago by Christopher Pow.

Preview web apps live as your coding agent builds them with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime

AI summary AWS has added Session endpoints to the AgentCore runtime in Amazon Bedrock, so each isolated microVM session gets its own authenticated URL that only exposes the ports a developer opens. As many as five ports or ranges from 8000 to 12000 can be permitted, and WebSocket, gRPC, server-sent events, HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 traffic all pass through. In one sample, a coding agent running on Claude Haiku 5.5 edits a Vite site on port 8090, and the changes show up in a browser with no reload. Access needs SigV4 or bearer-token credentials, each URL expires when its session ends, and the endpoints are designed for review, not for serving users.
