AWS signs multi-year agreement with Cognition to deploy Devin for enterprise software engineering
Amazon Web Services and Cognition announced a multi-year strategic collaboration to make Cognition’s Devin autonomous software engineer available through AWS Marketplace and dedicated AWS environments. Mercedes-Benz used Devin to analyze more than 200,000 lines of COBOL, reducing an estimated eight-month modernization project to eight days, according to the companies. **Why it matters:** The agreement gives AWS another enterprise AI workload while positioning autonomous coding agents as tools for legacy-system modernization and technical-debt reduction.
Agility Robotics unveils Digit 5 humanoid for work alongside people
Agility Robotics introduced Digit 5, a humanoid designed to operate near workers without traditional physical safety barriers. The company said the robot can repeatedly lift loads of up to 50 pounds, has a 90-minute runtime with nine-minute charging, and has more than $300 million in multi-year customer orders subject to contractual milestones. **Why it matters:** The combination of stated customer orders, higher payload capacity, and barrier-free operation strengthens the investment case for industrial humanoids moving from pilots toward scaled deployments.
AWS and Salesforce expand integrations for CRM data and AI agents
AWS and Salesforce announced integrations that bring Salesforce data and workflows into Amazon Quick, AWS agents into Slack, and Amazon Bedrock model choice to Agentforce customers. The companies also announced interoperability between Agentforce Voice and Amazon Connect Customer for real-time, bidirectional voice interactions. **Why it matters:** The partnership targets a major enterprise-AI adoption barrier—moving data between cloud and application systems—without requiring customers to migrate their underlying data.
Enphase outlines solid-state transformer for high-density AI data centers
Enphase Energy said it is developing the IQ Solid-State Transformer to convert medium-voltage AC directly to 800 VDC for AI data centers, with an expected sub-millisecond response to changing AI loads and scalability to racks of up to 5 megawatts. Full-system demonstrations are expected in November 2026, with customer pilots planned for 2027. **Why it matters:** Higher-voltage data-center architectures could become an important equipment market as AI facilities require more power density and faster response to fluctuating workloads.
New York manufacturing activity grows modestly but trails expectations
The New York Fed’s Empire State Manufacturing Survey reported a September general business conditions index of 7.6, down from 20.6 in August and below the 14.75 forecast cited by market-calendar data. The New York Fed characterized the result as modest growth in manufacturing activity. **Why it matters:** The below-expectations reading adds evidence that manufacturing momentum is cooling ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September 15–16 policy meeting.
Bitcoin and crypto stocks fall after Senate fails to advance digital-asset legislation
The U.S. Senate failed to advance comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation, according to Reuters. Bitcoin was down about 4% at $75,908, while Coinbase and Circle Internet Group each fell about 9%. **Why it matters:** The legislative setback increases regulatory uncertainty for major crypto exchanges and stablecoin-related companies while weighing on Bitcoin sentiment.
