Amazon announces first-ever availability of OpenAI models for its cloud customers, company says, ‘The addition of...'
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that OpenAI's open weight models will be available for the first time on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI. This will allow the company's customers to build generative artificial intelligence (AI) apps, as this move will make OpenAI's technology accessible to millions of AWS customers. In a blog post, Amazon has confirmed that OpenAI's two new open-weight foundation models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, will be offered on its platforms. According to AWS, when running in Amazon Bedrock, the larger model is three times more price-efficient than the comparable Gemini model, five times more than DeepSeek-R1, and twice as efficient as the OpenAI o4 model. This announcement reinforces AWS's commitment to providing a wide selection of models. It expands the existing range of fully managed models in Amazon Bedrock and makes them accessible in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. What Amazon and OpenAI said about this collaboration Commenting on the latest partnership, Atul Deo, director of product at AWS, said: 'Open weight models are an important area of innovation in the future development of generative AI technology, which is why we have invested in making AWS the best place to run them, including those launching today from OpenAI. The addition of OpenAI as our newest open weight model provider marks a natural progression in our commitment to bringing cutting-edge AI to organisations worldwide, and the unmatched size of our customer base marks a transformative shift in access to OpenAI's advanced technology.' Meanwhile, Dmitry Pimenov, product lead, OpenAI, noted: 'Our open weight models help developers—from solo builders to large enterprise teams—unlock new possibilities across industries and use cases. Together with AWS, we're providing powerful, flexible tools that make it easier than ever for customers to build, innovate, and scale.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Why Amazon wants to use OpenAI's open weight models Amazon is integrating OpenAI's open weight models due to their strong reasoning abilities, which are well-suited for building AI agents—an area that's reshaping how businesses operate. Through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, companies can run these models natively at scale and with the security needed for production-level applications. They can also gain access to features like gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, which can be integrated with Bedrock's enterprise-grade safeguards, including Guardrails that filter out up to 88% of unsafe content. Upcoming features like Custom Model Import, Knowledge Bases, and additional customisation will further enhance this integration. Meanwhile, Amazon SageMaker AI enables customers to use these open weight models with tools for pre-training, evaluation, fine-tuning, and deployment, offering a full-stack solution for developing advanced AI systems. OpenAI's open weight models are well-suited for agentic AI use cases due to their strong reasoning capabilities, have an efficient size-to-performance ratio and support instruction-following and tool use. With a 128K context window, they can handle long documents and conversations, making them ideal for tasks like coding, scientific research, and customer service. These models also include safety measures, having undergone thorough training and evaluation to support responsible AI deployment. iOS 26 Public Beta Is Here: Apple's Biggest Redesign Since iOS 7
