## In brief

- AI agents now run multi-step workloads for hours at a time, according to the AWS article.
- The length of task frontier agents can complete on their own doubles about every four months, per METR as cited in the source.
- The article reports that 40 percent of large enterprises are scaling AI agents.

## Why it matters

Longer-running agents need a runtime that is both secure and efficient, which is the focus of AWS's next-generation AgentCore runtime.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-12: AWS announced the next-generation AgentCore runtime on its Machine Learning blog
