Amazon Bedrock now supports GPT‑5.4 from OpenAI in AWS GovCloud (US-West) — giving government and regulated industry customers access to OpenAI's most capable frontier model for professional work, backed by the enterprise-grade security and goverment compliance scope of AWS GovCloud (US). GPT‑5.4 supports native computer-use capabilities, and deep reasoning across coding, documents, and multi-step agentic tasks — all running on Bedrock's high-performance inference engine with isolated queues and durable state for fault-tolerant workloads. Your data stays in-partition and is never used to train
