OpenAI has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer two new open-weight reasoning models, expanding their availability through AWS services like Bedrock and SageMaker. This collaboration marks a significant competitive shift for AWS, traditionally known as a host for other AI models. The partnership contrasts with Microsoft, which remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, generating pressure for AWS as Amazon CEO Andy Jassy responds to concerns over losing competitive ground in AI.
OpenAI announced two open-weight reasoning models with capabilities on par with its o-series, and Amazon announced that the new models would soon be available as a service on AWS.
AWS allows customers to build and host GenAI apps using models of their choice, while Sagemaker enables training or building custom AI models largely for analytics.
This is a juicy competitive move for both companies, putting AWS in the same sentence as the biggest model maker, OpenAI, for the first time.
Jassy faced growing pressure from analysts about Amazon's diminishing AI influence compared to competitors, particularly Microsoft.
