Amazon has approved the internal use of Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex, expanding beyond its proprietary Kiro tool to provide agentic AI coding assistants for its developers. The company reversed its previous stance limiting third-party tools following significant employee endorsements for Claude, reflecting a shift toward more flexible, AI-led development workflows.
