Summary

  • Amazon Bedrock now offers OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models, giving AWS customers three capability tiers through Bedrock’s Responses API.
  • The lineup ranges from Sol for flagship reasoning to Terra for balanced performance and Luna for faster, lower-cost inference, all running on Bedrock’s next-generation inference engine focused on performance, security and reliability.
  • AWS paired the model launch with storage and developer updates, including same-day moves to S3 Standard-IA and One Zone-IA—down from a 30-day minimum—and self-managed S3 code storage for Lambda.
  • Other additions included Cognito CSV imports with password hashes, while AWS also said a weekend Cost Explorer billing-data issue has been resolved and services are operating normally.
