AWS AI Updates: September 4, 2026

1. Amazon Quick Adds a Max Tier With 5x the Usage of Plus

AWS. Amazon Quick now offers a third plan alongside Free and Plus. Quick Max provides 5x the usage and 5x the storage of Plus, aimed at users running larger concurrent generative workloads across a billing period without hitting caps. Existing Plus subscribers upgrade from account settings, and both monthly and annual billing are available. Source

2. SageMaker Unified Studio Workflows Gain Python and Bash Operators

AWS. SageMaker Unified Studio Workflows now supports PythonOperator and BashOperator, so custom Python functions and shell commands run directly inside serverless workflows instead of being offloaded to Lambda or ECS. Both operators are added by dragging nodes onto the visual canvas, with the script files supplied through workflow settings and each operator configured to call a specific function or command. The feature is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio runs. Source
