Amazon Bedrock now exposes GPT-6 Sol and Luna from five Asia-Pacific source regions, while Astra is available from Singapore through global cross-Region inference.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- GPT-6 Sol and Luna are available from five Asia-Pacific source regions
- GPT-6 Astra is available from Singapore
- OpenAI-compatible APIs are supported
- Cross-Region routing requires a data-residency review
What is changing?
AWS expanded Amazon Bedrock’s global cross-Region inference profiles for GPT-6 in Asia Pacific on October 12. GPT-6 Sol and Luna can be called from source regions in Singapore, Jakarta, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taipei. GPT-6 Astra is limited to Singapore as the source region.
Requests can use the Converse API as well as OpenAI-compatible Responses and Chat Completions endpoints. Billing, quotas, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch remain in the source region while Bedrock may route processing to a supported commercial AWS region.
The routing broadens capacity but also matters for data residency. AWS says traffic flagged by automated abuse detection may be retained for up to 30 days in the destination region. Enterprise teams should verify IAM and SCP controls, quota use, and residency requirements before production.
