Full story

OpenAI announced that its GPT-5.6 series, Sol, Terra, and Luna, are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. The models are integrated with Bedrock's next‑generation inference engine, which Amazon says is built for high performance, security, and reliability.

The availability on Bedrock means developers can run these large language models directly within AWS without managing their own infrastructure, benefiting from the cloud provider's scaling and compliance features.

By offering three variants, OpenAI provides options for different workloads: Sol for cost‑effective tasks, Terra for balanced performance, and Luna for the most demanding applications. This tiered approach aims to broaden adoption across enterprises and startups alike.

The partnership underscores the growing trend of AI model providers collaborating with cloud platforms to simplify deployment and accelerate AI‑driven product development.
