San Francisco, August 4, 2025 — In a groundbreaking move that is set to reshape the AI infrastructure landscape, OpenAI’s powerful models are now officially available on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s largest cloud computing platform. This marks the first time OpenAI has made its models natively accessible on any major cloud provider beyond Microsoft’s Azure.
The integration allows developers, enterprises, and startups using AWS to seamlessly access models like GPT-4.5, Codex, DALL·E, and Whisper directly from their AWS consoles, without needing to route traffic through external APIs or third-party platforms.
🌐 A Strategic Shift in OpenAI’s Deployment
Until now, OpenAI’s close partnership with Microsoft meant that its services were tightly integrated with Azure, offering exclusive capabilities to Microsoft cloud customers. This expansion to AWS signals a more platform-agnostic strategy from OpenAI and a step toward democratizing access to its models across industries.
“We’re excited to bring OpenAI models to AWS,” said Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI. “This move expands access for millions of AWS users worldwide, allowing them to build, experiment, and scale AI applications with industry-leading models—all within their existing infrastructure.”
⚙️ Key Features of OpenAI on AWS
- Native Integration: Models are now accessible via Amazon Bedrock, AWS’s foundation model hub.
- Pay-as-you-go Pricing: Customers can invoke OpenAI models without long-term commitments.
- Low Latency: Running directly within AWS’s infrastructure reduces latency for real-time applications.
- Scalable Compute: Businesses can now deploy AI-powered services with high flexibility and scalability.
- Enterprise Security: Integration benefits from AWS’s enterprise-grade security, compliance, and data protection features.
🧠 Empowering Developers and Enterprises
Developers on AWS can now harness GPT-based models for a variety of use cases—ranging from customer support automation and content creation to code generation and advanced data analysis—without switching platforms or managing external API keys.
“This is a major win for enterprise teams,” said Lisa Zhang, CTO of AI startup QubicSoft. “We already use AWS for most of our infrastructure, and now we can deploy OpenAI’s models as part of our stack with far less complexity and cost.”
📈 Expanding the Ecosystem
The move comes amid soaring demand for generative AI tools in cloud-native environments. AWS’s foundation model ecosystem already includes offerings from Anthropic (Claude), AI21, Cohere, and Stability AI. OpenAI’s addition to this lineup gives AWS customers access to some of the most widely used and powerful AI models in the world.
“This collaboration reflects our commitment to giving customers the broadest choice of generative AI tools,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Data and AI at AWS. “OpenAI’s models are some of the most capable in the world, and now developers can access them alongside other leading models—all in one place.”
🔮 What’s Next?
While no timeline has been shared for the availability of OpenAI models on Google Cloud or other platforms, this partnership signals OpenAI’s intent to broaden its reach beyond Microsoft.
With this landmark step, AI development is set to become more accessible, scalable, and enterprise-friendly than ever before.
