OpenAI's models are now available on Amazon Web Services' Bedrock platform, allowing enterprises to access OpenAI's GPT models without routing data through OpenAI's own APIs to address data privacy and security concerns. GPT-5.4 is available now with GPT-5.5 coming within two weeks, part of a deal involving up to $35 billion in financing contingent on OpenAI using two gigawatts of Amazon's Trainium accelerators. Microsoft renegotiated its OpenAI relationship to free OpenAI from revenue sharing commitments, enabling partnerships with other cloud providers while Microsoft remains the primary cloud provider.

Amazon announced two AI services: an updated Amazon Quick desktop app that integrates with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoom, and Salesforce to automate tasks like meeting scheduling, and a significant overhaul of Amazon Connect into four agentic AI components for supply chains, hiring, healthcare, and customer experience. The Quick service was first unveiled in October 2025 as a web-based experience and now operates as a desktop application requiring only an email address to start. The moves position Amazon to compete with Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce in the crowded market for AI agents that handle business processes, though existing customer relationships with other vendors present a significant adoption challenge.

GitHub is switching Copilot from request-based to usage-based token billing on June 1, 2026, after subsidizing expensive inference costs became unsustainable. Copilot Pro subscribers will receive 1,000 AI Credits per month at $0.01 per credit, with complex models like Anthropic's Opus seeing pricing multipliers increase from 7.5x to 27x. Customers will face variable costs based on token consumption and can define overflow budgets or wait for monthly resets, while subscription rates remain unchanged but more expensive model usage is now explicitly metered.

Together AI made NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Nano Omni multimodal model available on its inference platform, enabling developers to process video, images, audio, and text in a single reasoning pass. The 30B parameter model activates approximately 3B parameters per token and supports up to 256K tokens of shared context, reducing the need for fragmented multi-model pipelines. This simplifies deployment of agentic applications by eliminating separate inference passes across different modalities and lowering system complexity for production AI systems.
