Some agent-evaluation questions are narrow and repeatable, and decision models answer exactly that kind of question. This post shows how to connect two decision models, Jev and Strands Decider, to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations through code-based evaluators, and how to validate a decision-model check before you gate a release on it.

State Space Models (SSMs) such as Mamba have become a popular alternative to Transformer models, due to their reduced memory consumption and higher throughput at generation compared to their Attention-based counterparts. On the other hand, the community has built up a considerable body of knowledge on how to train Transformers, and many pretrained Transformer models are readily available. To facilitate…
While frontier vision-language models demonstrate strong capabilities in user interface (UI) navigation, their high inference costs prohibit everyday use. Conversely, smaller models trained via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or offline reinforcement learning often memorize static trajectories, leading to brittle execution and an inability to recover from errors. To address these limitations, we propose a novel online reinforcement learning framework that trains…
