Amazon Web Services launches Kiro for writing code with AI help
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy speaks during an Amazon Devices launch on Febriuary 26 in New York where the company unveiled Alexa+, with AI features. On Monday, Amazon Web Services announced Kiro, allows developers to write code with help from artificial intelligence. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 14 (UPI) -- Amazon Web Services on Monday released Kiro, a program that allows developers to write code with help from artificial intelligence. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy launched the service in a post on X. "Introducing Kiro, an all-new agent IDE [Integrated Development Environment] that has a chance to transform how developers build software," Jassy wrote about the service from Amazon's Web Services, which is the leading provider of cloud infrastructure. Amazon's name doesn't appear in the announcement, Geekwire noted. AWS launched in 2006 and includes storage and computing power. In 2024, its revenue was $107.6 billion. Overall, Amazon's revenue was $637.9 billion, including retail services, delivery, digital content, devices, Whole Foods, physical stores Vibe coding directs computers to creative software without much human direction. After the free preview ends, free and premium versions of Kiro will be available. The company plans three pricing tiers: a free version with 50 agent interactions per month; a Pro tier at $19 per user per month with 1,000 interactions; and a Pro+ tier at $39 per user per month with 3,000 interactions. Jassy noted the advantages of its program, which uses AI models from Amazon-backed Anthropic but there will be alternatives. "Kiro is really good at 'vibe coding' but goes beyond that," he said. "While other AI coding assistants might help you prototype quickly, Kiro helps you take those prototypes all the way to production by following a mature, structured development process out of the box. This means developers can spend less time on boilerplate coding and more time where it matters most -- innovating and building solutions that customers will love." Diagrams and tasks are generated to streamline development, AWS said. Kiro now can only communicate with people in English. Two product developers, Nikhil Swaminathan and Deeak Sing, gave some details on the programming service and provided a tutorial. "I'm sure you've been there: prompt, prompt, prompt, and you have a working application," they wrote. "It's fun and feels like magic. But getting it to production requires more. ... Requirements are fuzzy and you can't tell if the application meets them." They said Kir works "like an experience developer catching things you miss or completing boilerplate tasks in the background as you work. These event-driven automation triggers an agent to execute a task in the background when you save, create, delete files, or on a manual trigger." In one example, they showed how an e-commerce application for selling crafts can add a review section for users' feedback on crafts. They looked to the future, writing "the way humans and machines coordinate to build software is still messy and fragmented, but we're working to change that. Specs is a major step in that direction." Other companies are going into vibecoding, CNBC reported. Google plans to make its Gemini Code Assist more useful for software developers. On Friday, the company paid a $2.4 billion for licensing rights and top talent from AI software coding startup WIndsurf. On Monday, AI startup Cognition announced it is acquiring Windsurf's intellectual property, produce, trademark, brand and talent for an undisclosed amoint. Microsoft's GitHub's agent allows its Visual Studio Code to work in agent mode for automated software development. Anysphere has developed Cursor and plans to raise money at a $10 billion valuation. OpenAI had considered acquiring Windsurf and Cursor.

This TP-Link WiFi 6 Router Is Now Dirt Cheap, Gets Rid of Dead Zones in Your House
If you rely on the router provided by your internet service provider, you've probably noticed that the coverage and speeds rarely live up to the promises on the box. ISPs are usually only going to give you a bare minimum of equipment that can't possibly deliver fast WiFi throughout your home, especially if you have solid walls or multiple floors. If you're serious about actually receiving the speeds you're paying for in each and every room, then spending money on a dedicated router is the way. TP-Link has built itself a reputation as a go-to for simple networking gear, and right now their top-seller and cheapest model is available at an all-time low from Amazon: The TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 router currently retails for only $54, a huge drop from its usual price of $100 (45% off). See at Amazon The Archer AX21 is a dual-band WiFi 6 route with support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies and it offers better speeds and efficiency compared to legacy WiFi standards. Using WiFi 6 technology (802.11ax), you can have as much as 1.8 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth. This is a major advantage if you have multiple devices streaming simultaneously. It has four high-gain antennas and advanced beamforming technology which beams the signal exactly where you want it. TP-Link's setup is straightforward whether you use the Tether app or the web-based interface. The device itself is also Alexa-certified, which means you can use voice commands for some of its functions like turning the guest network on and off. If you plan on expanding your network's coverage range in the future, the AX21 is EasyMesh-compatible and you can add compatible TP-Link mesh devices to expand even further without hassle. Four gigabit Ethernet ports are included and allow you to plug your desktop computer, gaming console, or smart TV in with the fastes and most stable speeds available. Security is also key with WPA3 encryption to keep your data safe from unwanted guests. TP-Link also offers you free expert assistance, a welcome feature should you ever find yourself stuck or have a question regarding your network. If you want to finally enjoy the speeds you've been paying for, this deal is one that you can't pass on. See at Amazon

Apple Smart Home Hub — we just got bad news about the release window
We've been hearing a bunch of rumors about Apple's smart home hub, which was expected to arrive at some point later this year. But sadly, we already heard that this may not be on the cards anymore, and it all comes down to Apple's ongoing problems with Siri. This news comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, and the latest issue of the Power On newsletter. According to Gurman the hub was dependent on Siri features that were originally scheduled to be released as part of iOS 18.4. This would have let Apple's voice assistant utilize personal data, and recognize what was going on with a user's screen. The hub also reportedly replied on the new App Intents feature, which gave Siri better control over apps and functions. This in turn allows the hub to be controlled via voice commands, and without it the hub isn't going to work as well as people would expect. Right now, we don't know what's happening with Siri's upgrades, and based on what Apple said at WWDC 2025 it doesn't sound like those changes will be happening this year. Without them, the Apple Smart Hub isn't going to be close to what Apple reportedly envisioned. That's not to say Apple couldn't release some kind of smart home hub in the meantime. As we've seen with the likes of Alexa and Google, you don't need an AI chatbot to make a voice-controlled smart screen. But since this is now 2025, and AI is all over the place, Apple would be at a disadvantage. Specs we've heard so far suggest this hub will have a 7-inch display with a camera at the top — suitable for FaceTime and other video call apps. The software is said to be the new "homeOS", with an interface inspired by StandBy mode on the iPhone. There's also expected to be a built-in battery, smart home controls, Apple Intelligence support and access to other Apple apps. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Gurman believes that the hub won't be arriving until next year, possibly around the time the new Siri actually launches. Which would make total sense. If Apple has delayed the smart hub because of issues with upgrading Siri, then it's logical to release that screen as soon as it's actually feasible.
