Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping our digital world.

Amazon is pushing further into agentic AI with a significant expansion of its Bedrock platform. The new AgentCore runtime instances give AI agents persistent compute infrastructure, meaning they can now handle complex, long-running tasks without losing context or state. It's a meaningful shift from one-off queries toward AI that actually sustains work over time.

On the road, the automotive industry is quietly rewriting what a car even means. The old language of cylinders and torque is giving way to conversations about driving assistance, electric range, and connected digital experience. What we value behind the wheel is changing faster than the vehicles themselves, and the platforms being built today reflect that fundamental shift in priorities.

And looking up, NASA has put some hard measurements to a story we covered last year. Using its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the agency has now estimated the size of the crater left on the moon's surface by a SpaceX Falcon nine upper stage. The ispace RESILIENCE mission did not survive its lunar landing attempt, and it turns out the evidence of that failure is now permanently written into the lunar landscape.
