Features (1)
  • GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models available on Amazon Bedrock

    OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. Sol is designed for flagship reasoning, Terra offers balanced performance, and Luna provides fast, cost-efficient inference. These models are accessible through the Responses API.

Enhancements (2)
  • GPT-5.6 models enhance intelligence and efficiency for complex tasks

    GPT-5.6 models are designed to solve harder problems with increased intelligence per token. They enable applications such as autonomous coding agents, long-horizon genomics and biology analyses, and advanced cybersecurity research.

  • GPT-5.6 includes prompt caching for significant cost savings

    The models support prompt caching with explicit cache breakpoints. Repeated context across agentic workflows is billed at a 90% discount, reducing costs as usage scales.

Notes (1)
  • Model availability and access details

    GPT-5.6 Sol is available in US East (N. Virginia) and US East (Ohio). GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna are available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon). Users can get started via the Amazon Bedrock Console or the Responses API on the bedrock-mantle endpoint.
