Daybreak models are now available on AWS

Loading…

Earlier this year, OpenAI frontier models and Codex became generally available on AWS, giving enterprises a new path to bring advanced AI into production. Today, we’re sharing the next step in our work with AWS: making Daybreak capabilities available through Amazon Bedrock.

With Daybreak Access, defenders can use frontier cyber models within their existing AWS environments. Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red access levels are both available in AWS:

  • Daybreak Blue provides access to frontier general-purpose models, including GPT‑5.6 Sol, with safeguards tailored to authorized defensive security work.
  • Daybreak Red provides access to our purpose-trained cybersecurity models for authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing.

These models help accelerate vulnerability research, detection engineering, and incident response, from initial discovery through a validated fix. They also support complex workflows such as exploit reproduction and mitigation development.

Bringing frontier cybersecurity capabilities to AWS

For enterprises, adopting specialized cybersecurity capabilities requires more than model performance. It also requires security review, governance, procurement, access controls, and an operating model teams can support.

Through Amazon Bedrock, eligible customers can use Daybreak, including Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue, within the AWS environments where they already build, secure, and operate software. This gives security teams a clearer path to apply frontier AI through familiar AWS security, governance, and operational workflows.

Together, OpenAI and AWS are helping more organizations put advanced cybersecurity capabilities to work in production.

Get started

Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue require enrollment in Daybreak Access. Once approved, you can access the model through the Amazon Bedrock console or the Responses API using the bedrock-mantle endpoint. To learn more, see the documentation.(opens in a new window)
