Amazon is offering OpenAI’s new open-weight AI models on Bedrock and SageMaker, bypassing Microsoft’s Azure exclusivity via the Apache 2.0 license.

Amazon.com Inc. plans to make OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence models available to customers, the first time the cloud computing giant has offered products from the leading AI startup.

These models are now accessible via AWS Bedrock and SageMaker, putting Amazon in direct play with Microsoft and giving AWS customers a new way to build and run AI applications using OpenAI technology.
