April 28 : OpenAI is now offering its latest AI models as well as its Codex coding agent on Amazon's cloud services platform, the companies said on Tuesday, a day after the ChatGPT creator loosened its ties with long-time backer Microsoft.
OpenAI said it is also rolling out a service for developers to build production-ready AI agents with its frontier models on Amazon Web Services.
"This is what our customers have been asking for a really long time. Their production applications run in AWS. Their data is AWS," said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, at an event in San Francisco. He said customers will no longer have to leave AWS to find the AI models they want.
OpenAI and Microsoft on Monday renegotiated a contract that had allowed the Windows maker to exclusively sell OpenAI's AI models on its Azure cloud platform, making room for OpenAI to forge new partnerships with the likes of Amazon and Google.
Amazon and OpenAI have been deepening their ties in recent months. While Amazon invested $50 billion in OpenAI, the AI startup committed to spend $100 billion on Amazon Web Services over the next eight years. The companies have also reached an agreement for OpenAI to use two gigawatts of compute powered by Amazon's in-house Trainium AI chips.
The deal comes at a time when OpenAI is racing to secure more computing capacity to beef up its enterprise business and better compete with rival Anthropic, whose Claude models have gained steady popularity among enterprises and made the startup a front-runner in the AI race.
