Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that makes foundation models (FMs) from Amazon and leading AI companies available on AWS available through an API.

After I tried out some of the featured apps on the home page, I was able to build my own in minutes and publish it publicly - GeoFlix, check it out!
All I did was to provide the prompt that "the app should identify and suggest movies that prominently feature specified locations or place names within their storylines."
I edited the pre-created app name to GeoFlix and clicked on the "Make public and Share" button.
AWS is offering new PartyRock users a free trial without the need to provide a credit card or sign up for an AWS account for a limited time. The percentage balance reflecting the amount of free trial usage remaining for your account is displayed in real time within PartyRock on your Backstage profile page as PartyRock credit. PartyRock credit is calculated by your input tokens, output tokens, and generated images. PartyRock Credit usage varies by model to help users build intuition on cost consideration when using generative AI.
The relative consumption of each model is expressed in a scale of (1-3 token stacks) on the model selection dropdown. A (3 token stack) will consume the most credit, a (2 token stack) will consume moderate credit, and a (1 token stack) will consume the least credit.
While the free trial usage limit seems liberal, you have to be watchful of your consumption quota, which model you use and how may tokens are used while interacting with your apps or those created by others.
With some prompting, the Claude model also generated this description for the app -
Discover the magic of movie locations with GeoFlix. Our innovative app allows you to explore the world through the lens of cinema by identifying films that prominently feature real-world places. Just search for a city, country, or other geographic location, and GeoFlix will suggest relevant titles and provide fascinating details about how the setting is used in each movie's narrative. Whether you're planning a trip, studying a region, or just want to be transported somewhere new, GeoFlix makes it easy to find films that authentically showcase destinations worldwide.
PartyRock is indeed a great way to experiment with prompt engineering techniques, review generated responses, and develop an intuition for generative AI while creating and exploring fun apps!

In response to a question about the feasibility of effective code reviews for large (e.g., 500-line) AI-generated PRs like those from Claude, especially when reviewers lack deep codebase familiarity in new projects or fast-paced environments, Uncle Bob Martin and Grady Booch have contrasting views Uncle Bob Martin advocates metrics-based oversight (test coverage, complexity, dependencies) and higher-level management over line-by-line AI code review, while Grady Booch stresses manual verification for vulnerabilities, dead code, and performance factors. Uncle Bob Martin : " I don’t review code written by agents . I measure things like test coverage, dependency structure, cyclomatic complexity, module sizes, mutation testing, etc. Much can be inferred about the quality of the code from those metrics. The code itself I leave to the AI. Humans are slow at code. To get productivity we humans need to disengage from code and manage from a higher level." Grady Booch : "Unlike B...
Summary of an article on X by kaize - 1. Edit your prompt. Don't send a follow-up because Token cost per message = all previous messages + your new one. 2. Start a fresh chat every 15–20 messages: When a chat gets long → ask Claude to summarize everything → copy it → new chat → paste as first message. 3. Batch your questions into one message for fewer context reloads (that cost tokens). 4. Upload recurring files to Projects - Cached project content doesn't eat into your usage. 5. Set up Memory & User Preferences - Save your role, communication style, and settings once. Claude will automatically apply them to every new chat. 6. Turn off features (like Web search, Connectors, "Explore" mode, "Search and Tools", "Advanced Thinking") you're not actively using. 7. Use Haiku for simple tasks 8. Spread your work across the day as Claude uses a rolling 5-hour window. 9. Work during off-peak hours. Anything outside of peak hours: 5:00 AM to 11:00 ...
This Week I Learned - * Since A.I. coding tools from Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor and other companies took off last year, one result has now become apparent: code overload . - NYT * GitHub platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear — Kyle Daigle, COO, GitHub * At tech companies like Meta and Shopify, managers have started to factor A.I. use into performance reviews, rewarding workers who make heavy use of A.I. tools and chastening those who don’t. It has created an expensive new status game, known as “tokenmaxxing,” among A.I.-obsessed workers who are desperate to prove how productive they are. - NYT * OpenAI's agentic coding tool, Codex, had tripled its weekly active users since the start of the year. Overall Codex use, measured in tokens, has increased fivefold. Google's A.I. models processed more than 1.3 quadrillion tokens a month in 2025. * AI companies char...
