## What’s new

Amazon Web Services announced that **Amazon Bedrock** now includes:

- OpenAI’s latest models

- **Codex** (code-writing service)

- a new agent product described as **Bedrock Managed Agents**, designed to work with OpenAI reasoning models

This comes shortly after OpenAI and Microsoft revised their partnership terms so Microsoft no longer holds exclusive cloud rights to OpenAI products.

## Why it matters

For teams building AI-powered products, this changes the deployment landscape:

- **More choice:** OpenAI workloads can be run via Bedrock alongside other model options.

- **Enterprise controls:** AWS is positioning managed agents with steering and security features for enterprise governance.

- **Cloud competition:** The “AI platform” battle is shifting from just model access to **agent orchestration**, security, and integration.

## What to watch

- Pricing and availability for agent capabilities across regions

- How AWS integrates identity, auditing, and guardrails for OpenAI-powered agents

- Whether other hyperscalers respond with similar “managed agent” products
