You can access Codex through the desktop app, CLI, and supported IDEs. For AWS development, the Agent Toolkit for AWS connects Codex to AWS documentation, APIs, and services through a single terminal command. To learn more, visit Use Codex with Amazon Bedrock .
Things to know
Let me share some important technical details that I think you’ll find useful.
Let me share some important technical details that I think you’ll find useful.
- Model access: GPT-6.1 Sol model access is gradually expanding for all AWS accounts. If your account doesn’t have access yet, it will be enabled soon depending on your Bedrock usage. If you want to get access to this model quickly, contact your usual AWS Support.
- Monitoring: You can govern model access through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and audit invocations through AWS CloudTrail. To help keep traffic within your network boundaries, you can use virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoints powered by AWS PrivateLink. Inference runs on hardware-isolated infrastructure with zero-operator access, so not even AWS operators can access your prompts and completions during inference.
- Data retention: Your inference data isn’t used for model training, and using GPT-6.1 Sol doesn’t require you to opt into sharing your data with OpenAI. For automated abuse detection , classifier-flagged traffic is retained by AWS for up to 30 days and processed programmatically. You can request zero data retention through your AWS account team. See data retention for details.
