AWS Expands GPT-6 Access on Amazon Bedrock to Five Asia Pacific Regions

What happened

Amazon Web Services has opened access to OpenAI's GPT-6 (large language model by OpenAI) Sol and GPT-6 Luna on Amazon Bedrock through global cross-Region inference from five Asia Pacific source Regions, with GPT-6 Astra available from Asia Pacific (Singapore), the company said in an AWS Machine Learning Blog post published October 12, 2026. Destination Regions are the supported commercial AWS Regions where each model is deployed, and the Amazon Bedrock console lists all three profiles under system-defined inference profiles. Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing company based in Seattle.

The post is a configuration walkthrough for teams in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan, covering how to place the call, set permissions, and monitor inference from the source Region. AWS presents the profiles as an answer to single-Region inference, which it says can throttle when demand exceeds local capacity.

Global Cross-Region Inference Profiles Three profile IDs are listed on the bedrock-runtime endpoint. Callers reach GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna through global.openai.gpt-6-sol and global.openai.gpt-6-luna from Asia Pacific (Singapore) ap-southeast-1, Asia Pacific (Jakarta) ap-southeast-3, Asia Pacific (Malaysia) ap-southeast-5, Asia Pacific (Thailand) ap-southeast-7, and Asia Pacific (Taipei) ap-east-2. GPT-6 Astra is reachable through global.openai.gpt-6-astra from Singapore alone.
