Amazon is already offering new OpenAI products on AWS
A day after OpenAI got Microsoft to agree to end exclusive rights, AWS announced a slate of OpenAI model offerings, including a new agent service.
Almost as soon as OpenAI announced that its major investor and cloud partner, Microsoft, no longer has exclusive rights to any of its products, Amazon started gloating.
After the revised OpenAI/Microsoft agreement was announced on Monday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy noted in a tweet that it was a “very interesting announcement.” That agreement solved OpenAI’s problem of allowing AWS to offer its products, an issue that crystalized after it signed an up-to-$50-billion deal with Amazon.
Amazon announced on Tuesday that AWS’s Bedrock service now has OpenAI’s latest models, its code-writing service Codex, and a new product for creating OpenAI-powered AI agents. Bedrock is Amazon’s AI app building and model-choosing service.
Amazon is calling the new agent service Bedrock Managed Agents. It is specifically designed to use OpenAI’s reasoning models, offering features like agent steering and security.
Amazon promises in its blog post that “this is the beginning of a deeper collaboration between AWS and OpenAI.” And it will certainly be interesting to watch.
The Microsoft/OpenAI relationship has reportedly been deteriorating for some time , with each of them finding comfort in the arms of their partner’s biggest rival. OpenAI has turned to AWS and Oracle. Microsoft to Anthropic; the Redmond-based software giant is also working on a new agent offering powered by Claude.

Editorial analysis
Amazon's recent move regarding OpenAI marks a significant shift in the cloud and artificial intelligence landscape, especially for Brazil, where the adoption of AI technologies is on the rise. The inclusion of OpenAI's models in AWS's Bedrock service could accelerate innovation in Brazilian startups and companies looking to integrate AI into their operations. This is particularly relevant in a country where digital transformation is a priority but still faces challenges in terms of infrastructure and access to advanced technologies.
Moreover, the competition between giants like Amazon and Microsoft may lead to lower costs and a greater variety of services available for developers and businesses. With AWS now offering OpenAI solutions, we are likely to see an increase in competition for talent and AI projects in Brazil, as local companies will have access to more sophisticated tools to develop their applications.
Another point to watch is the dynamics of partnerships and rivalries in the tech sector. The deteriorating relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft, and OpenAI's shift towards AWS, indicate a reconfiguration of the AI ecosystem. Brazilian companies should pay attention to these changes, as they may influence strategic directions for investment and product development in the local market.
Finally, the promise of a deeper collaboration between AWS and OpenAI suggests that new innovations and products may emerge in the coming months. For Brazil, this could mean opportunities for local startups to benefit from cutting-edge technologies, as well as potentially attracting international investments looking to explore the growing AI market in the country.
