Amazon Bedrock expands API support and introduces Cross Region Inferencing for OpenAI models

calendar_today August 17, 2026 person aws@amazon.com domain amazon-q

Amazon Bedrock now supports the OpenAI GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra, and Luna) on the bedrock-runtime endpoint, with support for the Responses, Converse, and Chat Completions APIs. It also adds support for cross-Region inference, allowing customers to use Global and Geo cross-Region inference to access higher throughput and lower inference costs. Cross-Region inference automatically routes inference requests across multiple AWS Regions to give you higher throughput, without you needing to manage capacity across multiple Regions.
