Amazon Bedrock has added OpenAI GPT-5.6 models, which include Sol, Terra, and Luna, across more than 25 AWS Regions. The expansion incorporates cross-Region inference to handle workloads across different infrastructure footprints. Organizations can route their requests using US geographic and global inference profiles to achieve higher throughput.

Developers can interact with these newly supported models through the OpenAI and Converse APIs. Alongside API access, AWS provides guidance on setting up IAM permissions, service quotas, and operational monitoring. These controls help teams manage access and maintain oversight as they scale model deployment across supported regions.

What this means for you

The availability of cross-Region inference profiles enables engineering teams to optimize throughput across multiple regions without custom routing infrastructure. Support for both OpenAI and Converse APIs allows organizations to maintain existing codebases while applying AWS IAM policies, quota tracking, and monitoring.
