OpenAI announced that Daybreak capabilities are now offered through Amazon Bedrock for customers running on AWS. Earlier this year, OpenAI made its frontier models and Codex generally available on AWS, and the Bedrock integration represents the next step in the companies' collaboration to bring advanced AI into production environments.
Which models and access levels are offered?
Daybreak is provided in two access tiers on AWS: Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red. Both tiers require enrollment in Daybreak Access and approval before use.
Use cases and capabilities
The Daybreak models are designed to support cybersecurity workflows, including:
- accelerating vulnerability research,
- supporting detection engineering (development of detection rules and systems),
- assisting incident response from initial discovery through to a validated fix,
- enabling complex tasks such as exploit reproduction and development of mitigations.
Why availability on Bedrock matters for enterprises
Adopting specialized cybersecurity AI requires more than model quality: organizations also need security reviews, governance, procurement processes, access controls, and an operating model that teams can support. By making Daybreak available through Amazon Bedrock, eligible customers can run these models inside the same AWS environments where they already build, secure, and operate software. That alignment lets security teams apply frontier AI capabilities while remaining within familiar AWS security, governance, and operational workflows.
How to access the models
Access to Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue requires enrollment in Daybreak Access and approval. Once approved, customers can call the models via the Amazon Bedrock console or the Responses API using the bedrock-mantle endpoint.
Conclusion
The integration of OpenAI Daybreak with Amazon Bedrock aims to help more organizations deploy advanced cybersecurity capabilities in production while leveraging existing AWS controls and processes.
