Kiro

Tired of your agent asking for permission for everything? Approve for me is now live in Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web. When an action isn't covered by your rules, an LLM review steps in. Kiro approves routine actions, blocks what it flags as unsafe, and asks you when it isn't sure, without giving up the safeguard. Full breakdown 👉spr.ly/6018ByExGr

How many Kiro Crew sessions do you have open? Last week we launched Kiro bots: one place to hand off a whole new kind of work, with a dashboard of what it's done and what it needs from you. Meet the team who built it. Get started today👉 spr.ly/6014By6T6j

New in kiro crew: Kiro bots 👻 Self-improving agents for distinct roles. channel watch, issue triage, deploy guard. each builds expertise with every run, with its own memory and parallel sessions, so you delegate processes instead of tasks. Keep the why with the work. Full breakdown 👉 spr.ly/6019BHFtdD

AI usage is not uniform across teams. Light users’ credits remain unused while the heavy users run short and need more. Kiro credit pooling: shared credits, 3-tier governance, and usage flexibility for predictable spend. $20/seat/month, 500 included sharable credits per seat, $0.04 per add-on credit. Your light users’ unused credits now flow to your power users automatically. No waste. No surprises. Full breakdown 👉 spr.ly/6018BHLflE

Kiro CLI 3.0 is out. Close your laptop while a cloud session keeps working. Review the spec before Kiro writes code. Hand bigger tasks to workflows. With Approve for me, let Kiro handle prompt approvals for safe actions. Full breakdown → spr.ly/6011BHLuVX

Our annual kiroween hackathon is here, and submissions are officially open. 🎃 Last year, thousands of devs used kiro to bring dead tech back to life. Now it's your turn. Enter if you dare. $100k in cash prizes for students, startups, seasoned devs, and everyone in between. Builds due dec 4. 👻Git commit to the darkness → kiroween.devpost.com

Kiro for students expands to 41 more universities 🎓 Students at every eligible school get one free year of Kiro. This includes 1,000 credits each month and paid features like premium models. See the full list of eligible universities: spr.ly/6016BHltIY 📚 What school should we add next?

Claude Haiku 5.5 is live in Kiro IDE, CLI, Web, and Crew. The fastest Claude yet, at 0.06x credits. Use it for parallel subagents, quick reviews, and small edits across many files. Full breakdown 👉 spr.ly/6019BHlzSW

Every self-improving agent hits the same trap. If it grades its own fixes, it learns to pass the test instead of getting better. The Kiro science team nearly shipped a fix whose entire gain came from one lucky run. Now in kiro-trace, the model proposes, deterministic code decides, and a human merges. The fixes that survived: → Redundant file re-reads down about 83% → Compaction retention up from 0.82 to 0.92 Full breakdown 👉 spr.ly/6010BHZrug

Re-explaining the same repo conventions? Again? Memory in Kiro IDE + CLI can carry forward your preferences, repo conventions, corrections, debugging insights, and approaches you've already ruled out, then bring them back when they matter. See and manage what Kiro remembers anytime. 👉spr.ly/6017BHnfPW

Is computer science still relevant?👀 @SwamiSivasubram tells @mndoci the fundamentals still matter. What students can build with them has changed. Kiro for students gives you a free year of kiro to build with. Get started → kiro.dev/students 📚Want Kiro at your university? Comment your school below!

Why does your coding agent's context fill up with stale copies of files that keep changing? Researchers on the kiro team built CORVUS to fix that: one live copy of each file, 9–50% fewer input tokens, same pass rates. Read the paper accepted to NeurIPS '26 👉 spr.ly/6018BHRvlu

With local sandboxing on, agent-run commands run with scoped access to files and the network. See how it works 👉 spr.ly/6010BHRv5o

Kimi K3 model from Moonshot AI is available in Kiro. It's the first open-weight model with 2.8T parameters, and room to hold your entire repo and spec in a single pass. Get started here: spr.ly/6016BHMzlj

kiroween is back, and registration is now open. 🎃 Don't build yet: only new projects count. hacking starts 10/30 with full rules and more tracks. $100,000 in cash prizes. Same categories as last year, so start dreaming up your worst nightmares. Register → spr.ly/6016BHJt28

Local sandboxing is now generally available in Kiro IDE and CLI. Agent-run commands can now get scoped file and network access when they run locally. macOS, Linux, and Windows. See how it works ↓ spr.ly/6017BHHq7V

Kiro 💜 Manufacturing A 113-year-old, third-generation family-owned manufacturer with 35 developers compressed years of planned software development into weeks, rewriting what a small engineering team can build. 8 production-ready outcomes were delivered in 2 days.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is now available It is Anthropic's fastest Sonnet model to date and a clear upgrade over Claude Sonnet 5. Built for well-scoped coding and everyday work of building features, fixing bugs, and reviewing code. Available for Kiro Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power tiers. Full breakdown here: spr.ly/6017BGLPMb

A closer look at Kiro workflows: • specialized agents • parallel branches • test/review gates • conditional loops • model + effort by step The runtime carries the control flow. Each agent handles its part. spr.ly/6011BGQbZR

Introducing Kiro workflows, now generally available. 👻 Take complex agent orchestration beyond prompts and sessions. Sequence work. Fan it out in parallel. Loop on results. Vary agents, models, and effort by step. All in the workflow itself. Refine it. Save it as a recipe. Run it again. Full breakdown: spr.ly/6010BGtGea
