OpenAI Partners with AWS to Offer Models on Amazon Cloud Services for First Time
OpenAI has announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services to make its new open-weight reasoning models available on AWS platforms like Bedrock and SageMaker AI for the first time. This strategic move allows AWS to compete more directly with Microsoft Azure in the AI cloud services market, while giving OpenAI leverage in renegotiating its strained relationship with Microsoft. The partnership enables AWS enterprise customers to easily access and experiment with OpenAI's high-performing models through Amazon's cloud infrastructure.
