OpenAI frontier models and Codex are now available on AWS

What's new

• OpenAI frontier models available natively on AWS
• Codex agentic coding stack also on AWS
• Goal: give AWS-native enterprises access without needing an Azure setup

Why it matters

Azure was for years the only hyperscaler with access to OpenAI models — this completely reshapes the competitive picture and opens a new front in hyperscaler competition.

How to try it

From June 2, 2026 via AWS Bedrock or dedicated OpenAI integrations in the AWS console (the exact entry point is documented in the OpenAI newsroom).
