OpenAI's new models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, offer advanced reasoning capabilities and are available through Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI. Customers can utilize Amazon Sagemaker for pre-training, evaluation, and deployment, as well as Amazon Guardrails for security features. AWS Director of Product Atul Deo emphasized that the unmatched size of AWS's customer base marks a transformative shift in access to OpenAI's advanced technology.
While these models do not represent OpenAI's leading-edge capabilities, they complement Amazon's cost-saving strategy. OpenAI's product lead Dmitry Pimenov noted that the partnership with AWS provides powerful, flexible tools for customers to build, innovate, and scale.
Amazon's integration of OpenAI models positions it as a leader in the AI cloud services market, challenging Microsoft's dominant position. This strategic partnership continues Amazon's commitment to delivering innovative generative AI technologies to meet customers' evolving needs.
