Amazon makes OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 models available on Amazon Bedrock

The clearest new move since the last update came on July 13, when Amazon Web Services made OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models generally available on Amazon Bedrock. That puts OpenAI’s newest model family onto another major cloud platform, not only inside Microsoft’s products and cloud.

The earlier Microsoft and OpenAI moves still frame the week. On July 9, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, a new agent inside ChatGPT that can act across user apps and files and is offered via the desktop app and enterprise plans. The same day, Microsoft announced that OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 model family is now available across Microsoft 365 Copilot apps and is the preferred model for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Chat and Cowork.

Elsewhere, Google Cloud launched Cloud Run sandboxes in public preview on July 9 as a runtime for untrusted code and agent workloads. On July 9, Anthropic announced a partnership with UST under which UST will deploy Claude into engineering environments and train 20,000 engineers, architects and consultants globally. Apple also filed a lawsuit against OpenAI on July 10 in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing OpenAI of trade secret theft and breach of contract.
