OpenAI's frontier models and Codex have become generally available on AWS, creating a new pathway for millions of AWS customers to build with OpenAI's technology through the platform they already rely on for their business operations.
For enterprises, this eliminates one of the most significant obstacles to AI adoption: integrating frontier AI into production through existing security, compliance, procurement, billing, and governance workflows. Customers can now incorporate OpenAI's capabilities into AWS environments using the controls their teams already trust, enabling a faster transition from evaluation to real-world deployment.
Integrating OpenAI's Capabilities into AWS Environments
OpenAI on AWS provides enterprises with access to OpenAI's frontier capabilities, a familiar AWS operating model, and an accelerated path to production. The offering is available in two forms:
OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock enables teams to build AI applications using AWS-native security and governance controls.
Codex on Amazon Bedrock brings OpenAI's leading software engineering agent-used by more than 5 million people every week-into AWS, helping teams write, review, debug, and modernize code in the environments where they already build and ship.
Together, these offerings help customers adopt OpenAI's technology with less friction and ship using the best models available directly within AWS, in both Commercial and GovCloud regions.
Moving Customers from Interest to Implementation
As customers begin leveraging these capabilities, the AWS pathway helps reduce friction around procurement, security review, and production readiness. By making OpenAI's capabilities available within familiar AWS environments, organizations can spend less time navigating operational barriers and more time building.
"At Amgen, we're focused on applying advanced AI in ways that may help accelerate the delivery of potential new therapies while equipping our teams with advanced tools. OpenAI's GPT‑5.5 and frontier models offer compelling advances in capability, quality, and consistency that matter in a field where the questions are complex and the standards for scientific accuracy and decision quality are exceptionally high. Making these models available on AWS gives us an important new path to explore and scale those capabilities within the responsible AI framework, including security, governance, and operational frameworks across the enterprise."
- Sean Bruich, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer at Amgen
"Autodesk is the technology platform for the people who design and make the world around us. Workflows like building design are highly iterative, requiring precision, coordination, and continuous refinement across teams. With OpenAI models and Codex now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, our teams are evaluating how frontier AI capabilities and AI-powered development tools on scalable, secure AWS infrastructure can help accelerate development workflows and support more informed decision-making for our customers."
- Ritesh Bansal, VP of Analytics Data, Agentic AI and AI/ML Platform at Autodesk
What Comes Next, Including Cyber Availability
OpenAI on AWS marks the beginning of a broader effort to bring frontier AI into the environments where customers already build, govern, and ship. OpenAI plans to continue expanding the capabilities available through AWS so teams can move from evaluation to production with less friction and greater confidence.
This includes future availability for Daybreak, OpenAI's vision for transforming how software is built and defended. Daybreak, which encompasses cyber models and Codex Security, is designed to help cyber defenders identify risk earlier, act sooner, and make software more resilient by design-by integrating secure code review, threat modeling, patch validation, dependency risk analysis, detection, and remediation guidance into the everyday development loop.
As specialized capabilities like Daybreak become available to customers, AWS can serve as an important pathway for security teams to adopt them using the security, governance, procurement, and operational frameworks they already have in place.
Together, OpenAI and AWS aim to help more organizations put advanced AI to work in production.
