AWS Bedrock September update: GPT-6 and other new models go live

On 9 October 2026, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published a round-up of September updates for Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore and Strands, saying Bedrock added OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, Sol and Luna series models in September. GPT-6 Astra supports up to 1 million input tokens, and the Ultrafast version raises inference speed by up to 6x, reaching 300 tokens per second. The report also mentions the arrival of new models including Claude 5.5 and Kimi K3, and covers updates to AgentCore and Strands. On 13 October, the same source reported that Amazon Bedrock is offering OpenAI GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna and GPT-6 Astra across five AWS regions — Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Taiwan — through global cross-region inference, with GPT-6 Astra invoked only from the Asia Pacific (Singapore) region. The current state: after the September updates were disclosed together, the GPT-6 series has expanded further to cross-region inference access in five Asia Pacific regions.
