The update includes a managed knowledge base that handles vector storage and retrieval across enterprise data sources, native web search using Amazon's Alexa infrastructure, and a payment system enabling agents to access paid content and APIs.

Microsoft is evaluating a self-hosted version of DeepSeek V3 to power Copilot Cowork as agent costs spiral. The company plans to launch a lower-cost tier within weeks while moving to usage-based pricing, charging enterprises for actual compute consumed rather than flat fees.

OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 models are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, with pricing matching OpenAI's first-party rates. Codex, OpenAI's coding agent used by 5 million developers weekly, is also available with pay-per-token pricing and no seat licenses.

Mistral AI has launched Forge, a platform for enterprises to train custom AI models on proprietary data including codebases, compliance policies, and operational records. Early partners include ASML, DSO National Laboratories Singapore, Ericsson, European Space Agency, and HTX Singapore.

Amazon Web Services released Amazon Bedrock Data Automation (BDA), a foundation model-powered service designed to extract and validate structured data from financial documents. The service uses custom blueprints to process bank statements, W-2 tax forms, 1099-B forms, and vendor contracts, offering what AWS claims is industry-leading accuracy at lower cost than using foundation models directly.

IBM has released Granite 4.1 8B, an 8-billion-parameter decoder-only language model with a 131,072-token context window. The model supports 12 languages and costs $0.05 per million input tokens and $0.10 per million output tokens, available under the Apache 2.0 license.

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, a 31B parameter (30B active, 3B per token) multimodal model supporting video, audio, image, and text inputs. The model features a 256K token context window, reasoning mode with chain-of-thought, and tool calling capabilities.

OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026, positioning it as a step toward agentic computing and a unified 'superapp' combining ChatGPT, Codex, and browser capabilities. The company claims the model outperforms GPT-5.4, Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 across multiple benchmarks.

OpenAI has released GPT-5.5, one month after GPT-5.4, claiming improved performance on coding tasks and reduced token usage in its Codex platform. The model rolls out April 24 to paid ChatGPT tiers.
