With the new capability, AWS customers in India can run OpenAI GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna models regionally, ensuring data stays within India while benefiting from cross-Region inference that aggregates capacity across Mumbai and Hyderabad AWS regions. This meets compliance requirements governing data location.

Model integration includes standard Bedrock APIs for chat and responses with existing account controls like logging and metrics. This update allows Indian enterprises to harness state-of-the-art language models securely and at scale without managing multi-region deployments.
