GPT-6.1 Sol is now available on Amazon Bedrock

AWS announced that GPT-6.1 Sol is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, bringing stronger reasoning to coding, computer use, and professional workloads that run frequently. The announcement is dated 29 September 2026. For the model's own launch, see our report OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Sol.

What changes for teams that buy through AWS

• Access. You can get started with GPT-6.1 Sol in the Amazon Bedrock console or programmatically through supported Amazon Bedrock APIs.
• Governance. You can govern model access through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and audit invocations through AWS CloudTrail.
• Network. To help keep traffic within your network boundaries, you can use virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoints powered by AWS PrivateLink.
• Isolation. Inference runs on hardware-isolated infrastructure with zero-operator access, so not even AWS operators can access your prompts and completions during inference.
• Data handling. Your inference data isn't used for model training, and using GPT-6.1 Sol doesn't require you to opt into sharing your data with OpenAI. For automated abuse detection, classifier-flagged traffic is retained by AWS for up to 30 days and processed programmatically. You can request zero data retention through your AWS account team.
• Coding agents. You can configure Codex to use GPT-6.1 Sol on Amazon Bedrock for work spanning investigation, implementation, and testing.

These are AWS's statements about its own service and are not independently verified.

Benchmark claims

Both figures below are OpenAI's, as cited by AWS. According to OpenAI, as cited by AWS, GPT-6.1 Sol matches GPT-6 Astra on DeepSWE v1.1 at roughly one-fifth the cost per task. According to OpenAI, as cited by AWS, it also exceeds the best score from GPT-6 Sol by 6.4 percentage points while using a lower reasoning effort than that GPT-6 Sol result. These are vendor-reported figures; the page gives no independent reproduction.

What we don't know yet

The page does not say which AWS Regions are supported. For information about supported AWS Regions, endpoints, APIs, features, inference profiles and pricing, it points readers to the Amazon Bedrock documentation. We have not reviewed that documentation for this report, so check it before planning a deployment.
