On June 1, 2026, OpenAI announced that its frontier models and Codex are now generally available on AWS, offering enterprises a streamlined path to adopt AI through existing security and governance frameworks. This move allows organizations to bring OpenAI capabilities into AWS environments, leveraging the controls their teams already trust. The availability of these models on Amazon Bedrock enables teams to build AI applications with AWS-native security and governance controls, while Codex brings OpenAI’s software engineering agent to AWS, supporting code writing, review, and debugging in familiar environments. OpenAI said the integration helps reduce friction in procurement, security review, and production readiness, allowing organizations to focus more on building and less on operational barriers. 'Making these models available on AWS gives us an important new path to explore and scale those capabilities within the responsible AI framework,' said Sean Bruich, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer at Amgen. 'Autodesk is evaluating how frontier AI capabilities and AI-powered development tools on scalable, secure AWS infrastructure can help accelerate development workflows,' noted Ritesh Bansal, VP of Analytics Data, Agentic AI and AI/ML Platform at Autodesk. *Source: [openai](https://openai.com/index/openai-frontier-models-and-codex-are-now-available-on-aws/)*
