OpenAI Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber) arrives on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East) for vetted defenders, at $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens
On Oct 30, AWS announced that Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber, model ID openai.gpt-5.6-cyber), the OpenAI security model built for vulnerability research, is now on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-East), after previously being offered only in US East (Ohio). Access still requires passing OpenAI Daybreak eligibility. GovCloud short-context pricing is $16.875 input and $101.25 output per 1M tokens, about 23% above Ohio at $13.75 and $82.50.
Key Takeaways
- Regions: Daybreak Red can now be called In-Region in us-east-2 (Ohio) and us-gov-east-1 (GovCloud US-East); Geo and Global cross-Region inference are not supported (AWS announcement)
- Eligibility: customers must first enroll in OpenAI Daybreak / Trusted Access for Cyber, then have their AWS account team enable access
- Pricing: GovCloud short context (272K input tokens or fewer) is $16.875 input, $21.09375 for 30-minute cache writes, $1.6875 cache reads and $101.25 output per 1M tokens
- Data: AWS says inference data is not used for training and Daybreak Red data does not need to be shared with OpenAI; it runs on an inference engine with zero-operator access enforced at the chip
- API: served through the bedrock-mantle endpoint with OpenAI Responses and Chat Completions, and a 1,050,000-token context window
