Major shift in AI partnerships as cloud giants compete for exclusive model access
Amazon announced AWS Bedrock now includes OpenAI's latest models, Codex code-writing service, and new Bedrock Managed Agents following revised OpenAI-Microsoft agreement that ended Microsoft's exclusive rights to OpenAI products.
After OpenAI announced Monday that Microsoft no longer has exclusive rights to its products, Amazon quickly integrated OpenAI services into AWS. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy called the revised agreement 'very interesting' on X. The change resolved OpenAI's ability to work with AWS following their up-to-$50 billion partnership deal. AWS Bedrock service now offers OpenAI's latest models, Codex code-writing service, and Bedrock Managed Agents designed for OpenAI's reasoning models with agent steering and security features. Amazon promised this marks 'the beginning of a deeper collaboration between AWS and OpenAI.' The move reflects deteriorating Microsoft-OpenAI relations, with both companies turning to rivals - OpenAI to AWS and Oracle, Microsoft to Anthropic for its new Claude-powered agent offering.
