OpenAI GPT-6 Astra and Amazon Quick desktop reach general availability
↗
AWS announced general availability of OpenAI GPT-6 Astra on Amazon Bedrock and the Amazon Quick desktop app, alongside Lambda timeout increases and other infrastructure updates.
Engineers can now run OpenAI's most capable model on Bedrock with AWS security controls, and use the Quick desktop app for persistent agents that survive computer shutdowns. The Lambda timeout increase allows longer-running async jobs without splitting work, reducing operational overhead for AI and batch workloads.
