AWS shows how to build AAIF, an agent framework that sends simple tasks to local SLMs and complex requests to Bedrock
Announced October 22, 2026
Verified (fact)
AWS introduced the Adaptive Agentic Intelligence Framework (AAIF), built with Strands Agents. Routine tasks are handled by a local small language model served through Ollama, and complex requests go to cloud models on Amazon Bedrock. The post walks through the build using an IoT monitoring scenario.
Why it matters (interpretation)
It is a reference design for hybrid agents that mix local and cloud models to manage cost and latency.
