OpenAI and Amazon have expanded their partnership to bring OpenAI’s GPT‑5.5 models, Codex, and Managed Agents to Amazon Bedrock, launching in a limited preview today. The move allows AWS customers to access OpenAI’s frontier models within their existing AWS environments, benefiting from the platform’s security protocols, compliance requirements, and procurement workflows. Codex, OpenAI’s coding harness, can now be powered directly from Bedrock, enabling developers to write, explain, refactor, and test code, as well as generate documentation and analytics, all while leveraging AWS’s enterprise‑grade security, billing, and high availability. The Bedrock Managed Agents feature provides a way to deploy advanced agents that maintain context, execute multi‑step workflows, and use tools across complex business processes, with built-in integration across Amazon’s security and compliance controls. Customers can configure Codex to use Bedrock through the Bedrock API, starting with the Codex CLI, desktop app, and Visual Studio Code extension. The partnership aims to give organizations a faster, more secure path from experimentation to production, enabling advanced AI at scale within trusted AWS environments.
OpenAI models, Codex, and Managed Agents come to AWS
OpenAI has launched its GPT‑5.5 models, Codex, and Managed Agents on Amazon Bedrock, giving AWS customers access to advanced AI within their existing security and compliance frameworks. The limited preview allows enterprises to build, test, and deploy AI applications, coding tools, and agentic workflows directly in AWS environments. This partnership expands OpenAI’s reach and offers a streamlined path from experimentation to production for businesses already using AWS.
Why it matters
By embedding OpenAI’s frontier models into AWS, enterprises can scale AI solutions while maintaining their existing infrastructure and compliance standards, accelerating adoption across the industry.
