AWS blog shows fine-tuning a search agent with multi-turn RL on SageMaker AI
An AWS Machine Learning Blog post walks through fine-tuning an LLM-powered search agent using multi-turn reinforcement learning on Amazon SageMaker AI. The authors report measured gains in retrieval quality and reliability, and say the approach gives a small agent frontier-model reliability at lower latency and cost.

Claude Code v2.1.295 adds hook failure blocking and gateway model controls
Anthropic released Claude Code v2.1.295, adding onFailure:"block" so hooks that fail to start, time out, or exit unexpectedly block the action. It also adds Program Status Protocol (OSC 7501) terminal support, optional per-upstream models lists with wildcards, upstream_ttfb_ms stream timeouts, and gateway login settings.
