Amazon Bedrock now supports cross-Region inference for OpenAI GPT-5.6 models across more than 25 AWS Regions, enabling improved throughput and performance consistency by routing inference requests to different Regions based on capacity. Geographic profiles restrict data processing within specific regions for data residency compliance, while global profiles route requests across all supported commercial Regions without such restrictions.
