What happened

A day after OpenAI revamped its relationship with Microsoft so that it can run all of its products on any cloud, the artificial intelligence company said its models will be available via Amazon Web Services.

Why it matters

AWS customers can experiment with OpenAI's models as well as its Codex agent for writing code, all through Amazon Bedrock, the companies announced on Tuesday.

Common ground

The services will become generally available in the next few weeks.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Selective Omission: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
