Lakebase backup schedule API (Beta)
You can now manage Lakebase backup schedules programmatically. The snapshot schedule API lets you read and set a root branch's automated snapshot cadences (daily, weekly, or monthly) and how long each cadence's snapshots are retained. This API is in Beta and available to all Lakebase workspaces. See Create a backup schedule .
OpenAI GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock
Today, AWS announces the general availability of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna from OpenAI on Amazon Bedrock. Expanding the GPT-6 family alongside Astra, these two models give teams more ways to balance intelligence, speed, and cost across every workload. Sol is the daily model for recurring complex tasks and software development.
Claude Opus 5.5 launches with a 1M token context window and 128k output
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, with a default 1M token context, 128k max output and always-on adaptive thinking. It costs $4 / $20 per MTok, below Claude Opus 5, and is on the Claude API, Bedrock, Google Cloud and Microsoft Foundry.

Claude API beta lets tools be defined inside mid-conversation system messages
With the inline-tools-2026-09-15 beta header, a tool_addition block can carry a full tool definition, so agents can add tools, change schemas or upgrade server tools mid-conversation without invalidating the prompt cache. The same header covers adding and removing tools by reference.
