As soon as OpenAI announced that Microsoft, its major investor and cloud partner, had lost exclusive rights to its products, Amazon started gloating.
After the revised agreement between OpenAI and Microsoft was announced on Monday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a tweet that it was a “very interesting announcement.” The agreement resolves OpenAI’s issue with allowing AWS to offer its products. The problem emerged after it signed a deal with Amazon worth up to $50 billion.
Amazon announced Tuesday that its Bedrock service on AWS has introduced the latest models from OpenAI, the code creation service Codex, and new products for creating AI agents powered by OpenAI. Bedrock is Amazon’s AI app building and model selection service.
Amazon is calling the new agent service “Bedrock Maned Agents.” It is specifically designed to use OpenAI’s inference models and provides features such as agent steering and security.
Amazon promises in a blog post that “this is the beginning of deeper collaboration between AWS and OpenAI.” And it will certainly be interesting.
Relations between Microsoft and OpenAI have been souring for some time now, with both companies reportedly finding comfort in the arms of their partners’ arch-rivals. OpenAI turned to AWS and Oracle. From Microsoft to humanity. The Redmond-based software giant is also working on a new agent product powered by Claude.
