Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Amazon for the week ending July 24, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category cover image prompt:
A giant brown cardboard delivery box floating down from a deep cosmic purple-black sky like an Afrofuturist mothership, a glowing chrome smile-curve arrow on its side beaming rainbow light downward while saturated multicolor ribbons swirl around it and starbursts sparkle in the void, with the word Amazon arced above in huge fat 1970s bubble letters filled with chrome and glitter and stacked multicolor drop shadows, 1970s psychedelic funk concert poster style, one clear central subject with generous negative space and vivid stage lighting from above.
This Week in Amazon News
Here’s a quick AI-generated summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5, based on the headlines and excerpts accompanying this week’s links:
A post from Ilir Aliu highlighted a paper from researchers at Amazon FAR, Berkeley, Stanford, and CMU. They scanned real rooms with an iPhone and rebuilt them as 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, then trained a robot in those scenes with no real-world training data. Per the post, it learned to walk, pick up boxes, and follow multi-step instructions in the real world.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
