Amazon $AMZN just launched a new Agentic AI team inside its Lab126 R&D unit, the group behind devices like Kindle and Echo.
The team’s focus is on building agentic AI systems—tech that can carry out complex, multistep tasks, especially in robotics. CNBC reports it’ll support Amazon’s push into “physical AI,” where robots can understand and respond to natural language commands.

Trump and Senate Republicans are weighing changes to the $40,000 SALT cap in his tax-cut bill, but no deal’s been made yet, per Sen. John Thune. He says there’s little Senate GOP support for expanding the deduction, calling it “a $350B subsidy for blue states,” per Bloomberg.
The House version, which raises the cap from $10K to $40K, is key for Republicans in high-tax states, but senators from states like Kansas and Louisiana say there may be room to scale it back. Talks are ongoing.
The broader tax-and-spend bill—Trump’s legislative centerpiece—faces pressure from both sides of the GOP. Fiscal hawks want deeper cuts; moderates want changes to Medicaid rollbacks and SALT. The CBO estimates the bill adds $2.4T to the deficit, but Trump points to separate CBO data showing tariffs could shrink the gap by $2.8T if kept in place over the decade.
No final decision yet on SALT or spending cuts. As Sen. Mike Crapo put it: “Nothing is resolved until everything is resolved.”
