  "summary": "Amazon has a secret plan to own the world's product information to ensure shoppers do not need to leave its website, according to a Reuters report. The company is reportedly wary that AI agents may favor sites with superior data, prompting plans to gather data on nearly every product sold anywhere, which includes crawling the websites of rivals.\n\nSeparately, AWS Machine Learning reports that Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now includes a built-in Data Capture capability. This feature records live inference inputs and outputs to Amazon Simple Storage Service to help teams detect drift, identify failure patterns, and use real interactions to improve foundation models.",
