How frontier teams are reinventing AI-native development

Organizations are increasingly focused on AI-native development architectures where frontier agents handle complex tasks including identity, state, policies, evals, and long-running workflows through platform components rather than custom implementations. Frontier agents are autonomous systems that work independently to achieve goals, scale massively to tackle concurrent tasks, and run persistently for hours or days, acting as extensions of teams rather than traditional task-focused AI assistants. Leading teams are building custom frontier models that deeply embed domain expertise by reducing traditional barriers of cost, compute, and time through services like Amazon Nova Forge.
