OpenAI models coming to Amazon Bedrock: Interview with OpenAI and AWS CEOs

Remember that models on different inference platforms might not necessarily give exactly the same results, adding another axis of non-determinism to development. Things like quantization, custom model serving silicon, batching, or other inference optimizations might mean a model from the original provider performs differently from the hosted one :/

This paper isn't the exact same scenario, since it's an auditable open weight llama model, but shows the symptoms of this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.20247

It's a shame people love to use hostile language (something I am also sometimes to blame), but I think redsocksfan45 misconception is good to address. The comment is however (rightfully) dead. I'll address it anyways.

Model performance consistency is important not because you want inference determinism (which you can actually get by setting tempetature to zero and applying a static seed). The `another axis of non-determinism` can be illustrated by the question "if I move from openrouter to bedrock, will gpt-5.5 perform the same?", to which the answer is no, at least not necessarily.

This is important because workflows that used to work on one platform might degrade or outright not work on another, even using the same model, which you have to account when deciding which provider to use.

by energy123

4/29/2026 at 8:22:09 AM

For OpenAI, OpenAI direct has always been better; except maybe early 2023-era when OpenAI Platform was not that stable or reliable yet.

For Anthropic, it can vary based on model and time. For Opus 4.7, Bedrock is the clear winner in TPS by leaps: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/claude-opus-4-7/provide...

As a rule of thumb inference offered by the model labs are closer to the "true implementation" compared to third parties. They have other problems though.

Availability through Bedrock has been a major driver in use of Anthropic in my org. And I am betting there is actual margin in it as well.

I wonder if this is directly linked to the split up with Microsoft. Just from my anecdata, OpenAI is getting completely ignored in serious enterprise deployments because what they offer on Azure sucks and there is no other corporate friendly way to get it. They probably saw themselves getting destroyed in enterprise and realised it was existential to be able to compete with Anthropic on AWS.

by zmmmmm

4/29/2026 at 9:50:08 AM

May be very dependent on country/region, but in Germany where Azure is quite prevalent in mid-market companies (due to heavy historic reliance on Microsoft in general), OpenAI + Azure seems to have worked as a great synergy. Few customers I've worked are even trying to reach for other providers, as the OpenAI models are available for them and promoted by Azure.

by hobofan

4/29/2026 at 8:44:08 AM

ur probably right on the margin. Anthropic doesn't break it out, but enterprise spend on Bedrock is the highest quality revenue in the AI stack right now. Itzs sticky, multi-year, embedded in existing AWS commits. OpenAI was watching that compound while stuck on Azure

by NikolaosC

4/28/2026 at 11:51:25 PM

Just curious, what’s wrong with Azure?

by brokencode

4/28/2026 at 11:57:32 PM

It might be just our region, but for a long time we couldn't access current frontier models at all. Only old GPT4 level models. Meanwhile, Anthropic is rolling out access to every model within 24 hours of announcement to Bedrock.

by zmmmmm

4/29/2026 at 1:43:08 AM

Not sure how much Azure OAI has changed, but when I last used it 2-3 years ago, it was just a farce to get you using provisioned throughput. The throughput quotas were small, the process to request more was bureaucratic, and the Azure SAs were

It was also very clear the OAI and MS teams held each other in contempt (not relevant, but was interesting and grew in the immediate aftermath of the Altman drama).

So why were we using it? OpenAI don’t really have an enterprise go to market, bedrock still relied on Claude 2, and we weren’t willing to YOLO on clickthroughs.

Once Claude 3 came out, we jumped ship. That sucked too, although I hear it’s gotten better though.

by 7thpower

4/29/2026 at 4:52:29 AM

I have been out of openai azure deployments for a whole,1year+, but we had often spikes in latency, escalated to the Head of Azure Europe, and still no official clues about them, meanwhile they were trying to get us in some kind of collaboration announcements. And it was the only reasons we had a few meetings with that guy.

So yeah Azure sucked ass and plenty of outages or latency, like 3min for first byte while usually it was max 30sec to 1min, if not even faster (memory is a bit fussy)

by Foobar8568

4/28/2026 at 8:08:45 PM

As someone who works at big tech and spends countless hours in meetings hoping to get some small feature coordinated for deployment across two teams, I can't imagine the amount of meetings and 6-pagers that were involved in running these models on bedrock's hardware.

by jasobake

4/28/2026 at 8:17:58 PM

at this level they just decide and spin up a swat team to execute it in a couple weeks without politicking. the bureaucratic ways, reviews are just for the low levels, to keep them busy with feature scraps while they mostly do operations

by 33MHz-i486

4/28/2026 at 11:42:52 PM

yup, I think there are few public articles on aws mantle so you can look it up, but internally this is pretty common knowledge. The entire inference engine of bedrock is built and maintained by a handful of ec2 engineers (all principals and above). Judging by the commit history of the project they are able to just build independent of any of the traditional bureaucracy.

by aab99

4/29/2026 at 12:34:21 AM

the way in which Mantle was built is highlighted internally by PEs as some sort of triumph but really its a fairly tone deaf indicted of AWS’s engineering culture ... “To achieve a meaningful result in a reasonable amount of time we had to break nearly ever constraint that we force all other engineers to work under. good luck to you plebs of L6 and below”

by 33MHz-i486

4/29/2026 at 8:38:07 AM

I'm going to play devil's advocate here: _what if_ most of lower level engineers are actually not able to self-organize themselves like this dedicated, I bet hand-picked group of PE can? I'm pretty sure AWS ruthless culture would gladly use less middle-managers and be swifter in time to market if it were so easy, no? What works for a single, highly-focused project (or a handful of similar situations) doesn't scale when you have to take care of bazillion customers, do boring/smaller tasks and keep the machine ticking.

by darkwater

4/29/2026 at 3:23:05 PM

Having seen how the sausage is made, Amazon's internal engineering culture is a textbook example of the principal/agent problem. You only get a raise from a promo, and you only get a promo from scope. It's way easier for management to demonstrate scope and so those folks build out empires of crap. In the best case they're just consuming oxygen, but I have definitely seen orgs created that were a negative influence on productivity.

by coredog64

4/29/2026 at 4:11:43 PM

Never worked for BigTech, so I'mm really not in my territory, but I wonder what is the purpose of all those interviews to get "the best of the best" and then let these things happen. What are the incentives for the management layer?

by darkwater

4/29/2026 at 9:14:37 PM

probably the main thing is just having low-level engineers competent enough to run operations on the dozens of poorly maintained 50k LoC codebases per team, hundreds of bespoke internal dependencies, processes, and custom tooling. build ecosystems of 5+ languages.

secondarily its an industrialization of software development. the hiring process is where they try define the labor as a replaceable component. grab the best cogs you can annually for the lowest price, run them in the machine for 2-4 years and swap most of them out before they get too expensive, or specialized or uppity.

Lol, spinning up swat teams because someone high up decides "drop everything this is my pet priority now" is politicking. It looks good for the leaders, meanwhile its the engineers pulling the all nighters and dealing with having to maintain systems that are operationally compromised from day 0 because there's no proper planning/scoping involved other than "Big Man says this needs to be done in 2 weeks"

Depends on how its implemented, but Amazon already did add gpt-oss-20b so if the model is similar enough to the OSS variant of GPT, it might not have been as complicated as you might think.

by giancarlostoro

4/28/2026 at 8:36:59 PM

Openai hasn't been publishing innovations for quite a while.

by londons_explore

4/28/2026 at 8:22:49 PM

Claude got a looooot more buy in with a lot of privacy-concerned orgs I work with because they could access it through their "trusted" intermediate Amazon. OpenAI has been banned and is not trusted. I'm not sure that I agree with these orgs' legal teams' assessments, but they definitely read the terms of service far closer than I did.

We will see if this changes the equation, but it feels like OpenAI is pretty far behind and playing catch up on all fronts. Though to be honest, "pretty far behind" is like 2-8 weeks in the AI world, so it may not matter a ton, it's mostly perception. And for me and my information bubble, perception of OpenAI is rock-bottom due to Sam Altman. From appearing unethical to appearing unhinged with demands from fabs and everything else, I'm not a fan.

by epistasis

4/28/2026 at 11:10:52 PM

You can sign ZDR agreements with any of the major LLM providers. Using AWS alone is also not sufficient. Even though AWS is running the model, you need to contact them for proper ZDR.[0]

[0]: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude...

by fny

4/29/2026 at 12:05:10 AM

Helpful link. Thank you.

I think that when people are worried about ZDR, what they really worry about is data governance. From what I’ve seen there’s a general distrust of OpenAI. AWS may keep your data around (without formal ZDR) but the concern of governance (using your data to train without your consent) seems like it would be much lower, because any breach of contract at AWS would have potential to destroy trust in what’s already a massively profitable company, so the incentives just aren’t there.

I’m not claiming OpenAI is training on API data. Just that they don’t have as strong of an incentive not to as AWS.

by PretzelJudge

4/29/2026 at 1:11:08 AM

AWS took limited data retention very seriously starting around 2015. Before that it was reasonable controls and a strong culture preserving customer privacy. After 2015ish they started implementing strong controls, to where service team members cant feasibly access customer data in the service they run, and account termination starts a legit data removal process (“GDPR compliance”). They also take the terms of service and user agreement (“your data” etc) very seriously in general.

by donavanm

4/28/2026 at 11:51:03 PM

While Anthopic has the best model and a focussed (no disturbance, lawsuits) leadership, they got a lot of enterprise access due to AWS. It is mutual no doubt, with both sides benefitting. The culture of feedback loop of AWS customers would have helped them in getting to enterprise-ready faster. Just my hypothesis.

by bg24

4/29/2026 at 3:01:58 AM

But Azure is just as big, if not equally big, in Enterprise. The argument that Azure didn’t give them enough access within enterprises doesn’t make sense to me.

by dannyw

4/28/2026 at 10:05:18 PM

It just not about AWS being some "trusted intermediary"... it's that the model runs inside the customer own AWS account under a different contract. AWS explicitly states inputs/outputs are not shared with model providers and are not used to train base models [1]

And for OpenAI, there is a May 2025 preservation order in NYT v. OpenAI. The court is forcing OpenAI to retain ChatGPT output logs indefinitely, including chats users have deleted that would normally be purged within 30 days [2]. That makes it a non starter for HIPAA/GDPR bound orgs.

by johnbarron

I'm confused, your own #2 link says that Open AI is not bound to store output logs indefinitely going forward:

> Update on October 22, 2025:

> After months of litigation, we are no longer under a legal order to retain consumer ChatGPT and API content indefinitely. Our obligations under the earlier order ended on September 26, 2025.

> We’ve returned to our standard data retention practices :

> Deleted ChatGPT conversations and Temporary Chats will be automatically deleted from our systems within 30 days (opens in a new window).

> API data will also be automatically deleted after 30 days.

Thing is, if you're using Codex, you're supporting Sam Altman and the idea of Sam Altmans, in the same way that if you use X or buy a Tesla, you're supporting Elon Musk and the idea of Elon Musks. That's a pretty big tax to factor into the usage of such products. If you even got 5% better coding results, would that make up for the future they're trying to build?

by xienze

4/29/2026 at 1:13:19 AM

I'm in the "AI could be good for humanity" camp, and in this camp, we believe that Dario/Anthropic is a radically better choice going forward than the alternatives at this moment. In this camp we are not 'fooled into thinking he's our friend because he said no to Trump that one time', we are evaluating the entire set of available information and figuring that Anthropic's the best bet.

As for Musk ever being "the left"'s "hero" -- that's amazing, that's what Pauli would call 'not even wrong'.

I'm getting pretty close too, but I wouldn't switch to Codex I'd switch to one of the open agents that can use any backing LLM.

Given the topic of this article, we've been using Claude Code pointed at Bedrock and have never had any scaling issues. Obviously it is more expensive paying by the token than a monthly plan, but I sometimes have 2 or 3 instances chugging along with Opus 4.7 or Sonnet 4.6 and have never had it be down or error out due to usage limits.

by InvidFlower

They're also not focused exclusively only on building an LLM, they have video and image generation too. Anthropic has one single focus, and this is why they are usually at the very top in the SWE benchmarks.

by giancarlostoro

4/28/2026 at 8:37:23 PM

Isn't it the case that OpenAI and Anthropic regularly just swap for whoever is at the top of the latest benchmarks? They're also so close in scores that it's effectively a wash anyways.

What OP is referring to is Anthropic aligning with corporate terms and conditions early, positioning themselves to be effectively resold by AWS rather than requiring orgs to procure them directly. This is huge in the enterprise world because the processes to get broad approval are generally far smaller and shorter for "just another AWS service" compared to a whole new vendor.

Isn't it an open secret that benchmarks are largly irrelevant at this point? Why else we do all have a personalized test battery for new models? That said i've stopped testing chatgpt entierly. Its still ok but is beaten by local models and it gets thrashed by non oai frontier providers. I get the history, but holding up oai outputs as equivallent is lile comparing yahoo to google post yahoo's collapse in search domains.

Oai language models are largly irrelevant at this point imo.

by Grimblewald

4/28/2026 at 8:35:28 PM

IMHO the benchmarks aren't useful, and ranking among the frontier models is mostly noise. The extra features around the coding agent have a much bigger impact on productivity than having to provide slightly more specification and guidance to the models; a 90% success rate versus a 92% success rate on the tasks I ask it to do is far more influenced by what I say than what the model is capable of.

Besides what the other person mentioned about being more useful for enterprise, I also heard mentioned on a podcast that gpt-image-2 uses the same general architecture as the LLM models, while Sora was a very different architecture. So they don't need two different sets of everything by shutting down Sora.

This doesn't mean you have the raw model weights, right? That's still entirely hidden / opaque?

You can just run "air gapped" inference?

Is this only of interest to enterprise customers already on AWS (who want "air gapped" behavior)? Is there any other use case for this?

This will be more expensive than calling OpenAI directly, right?

by echelon

4/28/2026 at 9:13:03 PM

A lot of companies already have data processing agreements and compliance sign-off for using AWS. Many are hesitant to send their data to AI startups with an incentive to train their models and a history of being.... loose with how they intake training data. Even when they do give assurances otherwise. AWS is more trusted in this aspect.

If this ends up similar to Claude on Bedrock, it's the same price.

by kube-system

4/28/2026 at 8:39:28 PM

This is for people who don't trust openAI with their data, but do trust Amazon.

But it also is for Devs in a company who already have a blanket agreement with Amazon, but would have an uphill battle signing an agreement with openAI.

by londons_explore

4/30/2026 at 8:39:36 PM

No, you definitely don't have access to the weights. The raw weights are secret enough that when a model hits a certain level of capability, their guidelines are that they need enough procedures in place to try to keep nation states from being able to hack in and steal the weights.

I think cost is fairly similar. As for who wants it, enterprise stuff is a big thing, but it also seems very reliable. Have never had any rate restrictions or had it just be down, which it sounds like a lot of people have issues with for Anthropic's servers.

Amazon Bedrock Mantle provides OpenAI compatible API endpoints for model inference, powered by Mantle, a distributed inference engine for large-scale machine learning model serving.

It probably did, but the PR stream that the public sees is a well oiled machine.

This HN post itself has 4 simultaneous announcement links; not a coincidence.

There are billions of investor money on the line if the wrong thing is said at the wrong time, it needs to be carefully crafted and staged.

The market might be increasingly hard on AI startups in general as enterprises adopt providers like Amazon Bedrock and refuse to sign other deals.

OpenAI is starting to scramble after missing revenue targets, and this move is likely 24 months too late. There’s almost nobody that will suddenly start using AI because of this decision and those already using it have already broadly made their model decisions to use things other than OpenAI.

It’s good to see more model diversity on Bedrock, but this smells more a rushed play by OpenAI to stop the market share bleeding vs a concerted strategy.

I'm not so sure about that. Like we're using Claude Code with Bedrock and have most things on AWS with SOC2 compliance and all that. Normally switching to Codex would have a ton of friction in terms of separate contract and billing, worrying about data retention, etc.

But with Codex and GPT5.5 having generally good reviews, when it goes on Bedrock, it would be very simple for us to just try it out. Obviously there's the general friction of knowledge and comfort of Claude Code vs Codex, but that seems possible to overcome depending on the differential of the models and also of the features. Like if Codex gets remote control for Bedrock, that'd be a big advantage over Claude Code on it.

OpenAI frontier models coming to Bedrock soon?

> Starting today, @awscloud and OpenAI are bringing the latest OpenAI models to Amazon Bedrock, launching Codex on Amazon Bedrock, and launching Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents, powered by OpenAI (all in limited preview). AWS and OpenAI will continue to bring the latest advances to Amazon Bedrock—so the models and agents you build with today continue to benefit from new breakthroughs as they arrive.

We've updated the title above to make that clearer.

Since the product doesn't seem to be available yet, and the other links are all press releases, we'll leave the interview up as the main link.

Really useful for us as we heavily rely on AWS credits for our AI usage.

This is a big news for AWS hosted products.

Microsoft Azure has been the worst interms of maintaining a highly available service and also managing predictable latency.

Their azure customer support is bad. Not ready for any real enterprise cloud offering. They behave like Comcast customer support.

It was absolutely idiotic to lock it down to Azure. It wasn't meant to be an iphone+at&t combo where the phone is an end all be all.

A cloud product depends on a lot of services and nobody would switch cloud providers for a candy.

OpenAI is tailgating Anthropic apparently.

Yah, this is huge. I imagine this is partly fueled by the recent government backlash against Anthropic for not bending down to their whims. Allowing OpenAI models to be hosted by Bedrock basically fast-tracks (sanctioned) ChatGPT usage across all agencies and clearance levels.

Yeah, seems like the hating anthropic larp is over and we’re back full speed into using them in every environment.

Now they are ruining amazon too. It's fascinating to see.

AI is kind of like the ultimate corporation drug. They are all on it. And can't get rid of it - ever again.

How are they "ruining" Amazon with these launches? That is not clear to me.
