OpenAI and Amazon announced a multi-year strategic partnership on February 27, 2026. The deal combines a new Amazon Bedrock-based Stateful Runtime Environment, exclusive third-party AWS distribution for OpenAI Frontier, approximately 2 gigawatts of Trainium capacity, and a $50 billion Amazon investment.
Amazon said it will invest $50B in OpenAI and expand the companies’ AWS agreement by $100B over eight years. The deal makes AWS the exclusive third-party cloud distribution provider for Frontier and commits about 2 GW of Trainium capacity to OpenAI workloads.
OpenAI and Amazon said AWS customers will get a Stateful Runtime Environment in Amazon Bedrock for production-grade agent workflows. The announcement moves agent execution closer to managed AWS infrastructure with persistent state, governance, and long-running workflow support.
AWS introduced Amazon Connect Health on March 5, 2026 as a healthcare-specific agentic AI product for administrative and point-of-care workflows. Patient verification and ambient documentation are available now, while appointment management, patient insights, and medical coding are in preview.
