What a week! 🇳🇴 Over 2,000 developers came together in Oslo for five days of learning, networking and fun.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it such an awesome event. We hope to see you all again next year! #NDCOslo – at Oslo, Norway

Kiro Web + cloud sessions are generally available, with cloud configuration.
Build from the browser, or start a new session from the CLI or IDE. Pick up the same session later from your browser, CLI, IDE, mobile, or another machine.

Are AI coding agents actually getting better? Six months of diagnostics data say yes, with caveats.
Kiro’s agents use LSP-based diagnostics to catch type errors, unresolved imports, and undefined symbols. Newer models aren’t just making fewer errors, they’re checking broader sets of files and self-correcting better.

System prompt behavior is hard to predict.
An instruction that looks fine in isolation can break in cases nobody tested for.
We built an LLM-judge pipeline to catch it before it ships.
27 candidates screened. Kiro CLI behavioral quality issues down 32%.

Kiro powers now support Agent Plugins. ⚡
No more packaging the same skill three different ways for three different clients. Publish once to the open specification (built by AWS, Cursor, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel), install anywhere the standard is supported. Existing powers still work, nothing breaks.

1/ Introducing Kiro Crew. 👻
An open source, persistent development workspace that runs on your hardware and works wherever you are. It started as an internal tool called MeshClaw, shaped by hundreds of contributors across the company. Now it’s yours to build on too.

My favorite Kiro feature: spec-driven development + property-based testing. The spec says what to build; property tests prove the code matches it.

Today is Kiro's birthday, and we come bearing a gift.🎁
GPT-5.6 (Sol, Terra, Luna) just went live across Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web, three tiers built to match the task in front of you: max performance with Sol, balanced cost and capability with Terra, high-volume speed with Luna.
Available now for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power.
Here's to year one, and to shipping like this all year two.🎈

Sonnet 5 is live in Kiro 👻
Anthropic’s most agentic Sonnet yet, stronger reasoning, tool use, and coding than 4.6, at the same Sonnet-class pricing. Plans before it edits, runs longer without supervision, checks its own output.
Experimental support for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power. Sign in with AWS IAM Identity Center, Google, GitHub, or AWS Builder ID.

Could Kiro build a complete MCP server from one prompt? @VitorHansen ran the experiment. The output was impressive. The architecture it chose was more so 👉 spr.ly/6014BDQdO8

API docs. Framework quirks. Semicolons in the wrong place.
Every developer absorbs that tax. Johannes Koch, Principal Architect at FICO, found a solution with Kiro. Spec-driven development that generates detailed design docs automatically. Structured enough to actually ship from.
What part of your SDLC would you automate first?

4/ 📱 Kiro is now on iOS. Native app built for real engineering work that gives developers a new surface to kick off, monitor, steer, and interact with their Kiro sessions directly from their phone. Check in while you grab coffee. Available in preview for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers. iOS 26+ required. → spr.ly/6017BDPpht

AWS Transform now offers continuous code modernization in preview.
Code bases accumulate outdated dependencies, security vulnerabilities, and AI readiness gaps over time, especially when modernization only happens episodically.
AWS Transform moves this work into your CI/CD pipeline, so remediation happens autonomously at every commit, reducing operational maintenance costs by up to 30%.
