AWS releases 'aws-ai-ml', a SageMaker inference optimization skill for coding agents

What happened

AWS released the aws-ai-ml skill through the Agent Toolkit for AWS, as part of Amazon SageMaker's optimized generative AI inference capabilities. The skill gives coding agents such as Kiro, Claude Code, and Codex expertise in inference optimization and benchmarking. When a user describes what they want, the agent generates runnable SageMaker Python SDK v3 code that benchmarks, recommends, and compares deployments.

Why it matters

It shows cloud providers packaging expertise in their own services as 'skills' that work across multiple coding agents.
