Shortly after OpenAI revealed that Microsoft, its primary investor and cloud collaborator, no longer holds exclusive rights to its products, Amazon began to revel in the news.

Following the announcement of the updated OpenAI/Microsoft pact on Monday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy remarked in a tweet that it was a “very intriguing announcement.” This agreement addressed OpenAI’s challenge of permitting AWS to provide its products, a dilemma that became clear after it secured an up-to-$50-billion contract with Amazon.

On Tuesday, Amazon declared that AWS’s Bedrock service now features OpenAI’s latest models, its code-generation service Codex, and a new offering for developing OpenAI-powered AI agents. Bedrock serves as Amazon’s platform for building AI applications and selecting models.

The new agent service is titled Bedrock Managed Agents. It is specifically tailored to utilize OpenAI’s reasoning models, incorporating functionalities such as agent steering and security.

Amazon assures in its blog post that “this marks the onset of a more profound collaboration between AWS and OpenAI.” It will undoubtedly be fascinating to observe.

Reports suggest that the Microsoft/OpenAI partnership has been weakening for a while, with both parties seeking solace in the arms of their rival’s largest competitor. OpenAI has partnered with AWS and Oracle, while Microsoft has aligned with Anthropic; the Redmond software giant is also developing a new agent solution powered by Claude.
