AWS enables Canadian access to OpenAI GPT models via Amazon Bedrock

AWS has enabled access to OpenAI's GPT models, including GPT-6.1, GPT-6, and GPT-5.6, through Amazon Bedrock in Canada. This new cross-Region inference capability allows Canadian organizations to utilize these advanced models from AWS Regions in Canada (Central) and Canada West (Calgary). The feature enhances capacity by routing requests to supported destination Regions within North America, ensuring data residency controls are maintained. Users can invoke these models via the OpenAI Responses API, Chat Completions API, and Amazon Bedrock Converse API, with support for a 1-million-token context window and tool calling. AI

IMPACT Expands access to advanced OpenAI models for Canadian businesses using AWS, potentially increasing adoption of generative AI applications.
