Amazon CEO Confirms: OpenAI Models to Launch on Bedrock Within Weeks

According to monitoring by Beating, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy confirmed on X that OpenAI models will be directly available to AWS Bedrock customers in the coming weeks. Also launching simultaneously is the jointly developed Stateful Runtime Environment, which allows AI agents to retain memory and context during multi-step tasks. This marks the first tangible action following the revised agreement between OpenAI and Microsoft. Previously, Microsoft held exclusive rights to the OpenAI API products, preventing AWS from directly hosting OpenAI’s closed-source models. On the day the agreement was revised, Jassy publicly stated that the launch of the Stateful Runtime and models, initially announced in February, would be expedited from ‘the coming months’ to ‘the coming weeks.’ When OpenAI signed a strategic partnership with Amazon in February, Amazon committed to investing up to $50 billion, with the first tranche of $15 billion already in place. The two parties also signed an eight-year, $100 billion AWS computing power expansion agreement, with OpenAI committing to using approximately 2GW of Trainium computing power.
