AWS September AI Builder Updates and Bedrock GPT-6 Cross-Region Inference Now Available
Understand the story
In September 2026, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published an AI developer update roundup covering new developments in Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore, and Strands. Highlights included: Amazon Bedrock launching a public beta of Managed Agents powered by OpenAI; and opening up a batch of new models, including GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6.1 Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, and Kimi K3. The event has since seen new developments: on October 13, 2026, AWS announced that Amazon Bedrock supports calling OpenAI GPT-6 series models via global cross-region inference from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan, with GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna available from all five AWS regions and GPT-6 Astra available from the Asia Pacific (Singapore) region.
