S3 bucket names no longer need to be globally unique, Brett shares what it actually costs to run a personal AI knowledge system on AWS, and an O'Reilly piece nails why agents make hard problems harder. Plus: Sora is dead, OpenAI bought Astral, and Claude Code gets Auto Mode.

Topics covered:

- AWS MCP Server preview adds CloudWatch monitoring — and how Brett used the announcement to build observability for OpenBrain in 10 minutes

- Amazon Bedrock adds GLM 5 and Minimax M2.5 — cheaper model options for Bedrock workloads

- S3 account-regional namespaces end 20 years of globally unique bucket naming

- OpenBrain real-world costs: ~$30/month with Aurora Serverless, fck-nat, and Lambda

- LiteLLM supply chain attack — a security tool was the attack vector

- OpenAI shuts down Sora, Disney pulls $1B investment

- OpenAI acquires Astral (uv, ruff, ty) — same playbook as Anthropic buying Bun

- Codex sandbox limitations for real-world agent workflows

- Claude Code Auto Mode — a classifier between manual approval and YOLO mode

- Claude Code Channels — text your agent from your phone via Telegram or Discord

- DeepSeek Engram — a static memory lookup layer that outperforms MoE at 27B parameters

- Mamba-3 — smaller state space model matching Mamba-2 quality at half the state size

- The Mythical Agent-Month — agents eliminate easy work but amplify complexity

- Building personal developer infrastructure with CLAUDE.md and session context

- State of the models: GPT 5.4, Gemini Flash, Minimax M2.7 hitting price-performance sweet spots
