Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a competitive advantage – it’s a necessity for any organisation that wants to innovate and remain relevant.
Now, OpenAI has made its “open weight” models available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) through Bedrock and SageMaker AI, opening the door to a wealth of new opportunities.

But what does this really mean for you and your team?
What are “open weight” models and why do they matter?
“Open weight” means you can access the model’s weights – the trained data that makes the AI work.
This allows you to adapt the models to your specific needs, fine-tune them, or even run them in your own systems without having to start training from scratch.
This allows you to adapt the models to your specific needs, fine-tune them, or even run them in your own systems without having to start training from scratch.
For businesses, this is crucial because it means you can:
- Have greater control over how the AI operates.
- Optimise performance and costs.
- Ensure stronger data privacy and security.
The models OpenAI has released for AWS
There are two main models available:
- gpt-oss-120b: highly powerful, designed for complex and demanding workloads.
- gpt-oss-20b: lighter, ideal if you have fewer resources or want to run AI locally.
The key is not to choose based solely on size or power, but on what you actually need the AI to do, how your infrastructure is set up, and how much you want to invest.
The real benefits of using AWS with these models
Using Bedrock and SageMaker on AWS to deploy these models offers clear advantages:
- Fast deployment: move quickly from testing to production-ready solutions.
- Easy integration: connect with your existing systems without hassle.
- Security: AWS provides encryption, access management, and controls to safeguard your data.
- Scalability: adjust resources to match actual needs and avoid unnecessary costs.
However, this is just the foundation. The real challenge lies in managing those resources effectively, integrating solutions with your current setup, and ensuring everything can scale without breaking budgets or stability.
Technology + Strategy = Results
As Ordax says, “OpenAI releases its ‘open weight’ models on AWS, ushering in a new era for customised AI.”
