Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenAI expanded their partnership to bring advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models and tools directly into Amazon Bedrock, the company’s managed AI service used by enterprises.
The update introduces three new offerings in limited preview: OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock, Codex on Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI. These are built for organizations that want to use high-end AI while keeping existing security, compliance, and cloud setups intact.
With OpenAI models now integrated into Bedrock, AWS customers can access and deploy these models using the same APIs and controls they already use. This allows side-by-side use with models from providers such as Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Cohere, and Amazon within a single system.
The setup includes built-in enterprise features such as identity and access management, private network connectivity, encryption, and activity logging through AWS CloudTrail. Companies can also apply OpenAI usage toward their existing AWS contracts, simplifying billing and cost tracking.
Codex, OpenAI’s coding-focused AI agent, is also being added to Bedrock. Used by more than four million people weekly, Codex can write code, fix bugs, generate tests, and explain complex systems. Through Bedrock, development teams can run Codex within their AWS environments using tools such as the Codex CLI, desktop app, and Visual Studio Code extension.
AWS is also introducing Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI, designed to help companies build and run AI agents that can perform multi-step tasks with minimal human input. These agents include built-in memory, permissions, and task management, reducing the need for teams to assemble these components manually.
Each agent runs within the customer’s AWS environment, with its own identity and full activity logging for audit purposes. AWS said the system is designed to scale to hundreds of thousands of agents while staying close to enterprise data and applications.
Box, which provides an intelligent content management platform used by over 115,000 organizations, highlighted the demand for enterprise-ready AI agents.
AWS said the new offerings are designed to give companies more flexibility in choosing AI models while maintaining enterprise-grade security and operational control.
