Run NVIDIA Nemotron and OpenAI GPT OSS models on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US)
TL;DR
Amazon Bedrock now offers OpenAI GPT OSS and NVIDIA Nemotron in AWS GovCloud (US): gpt-oss-120b, gpt-oss-20b, plus Nemotron Nano 9B v2, Nano 12B v2, Nano 30B, and Super 120B. The models run inside the GovCloud boundary. In-Region inference is available in us-gov-west-1, while Geo Cross-Region routing spans us-gov-west-1 and us-gov-east-1 without using commercial AWS Regions.
Nauti's Take
The post is clearly AWS PR, but the substance matters: OpenAI and NVIDIA are not just model names inside Bedrock, they arrive inside a GovCloud architecture with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, an AWS SDK path, and defined residency options. The real test starts in deployment: latency, cost, guardrails, model quality, and agency approvals will decide whether this becomes real mission infrastructure or just another enterprise AI menu.
Briefingshow
For US agencies and contractors, this is less a model launch than a procurement and compliance signal. Open-weight models become operationally useful only when inference, data residency, IAM, auditability, and tooling fit inside the same controlled environment. AWS is trying to close exactly that gap.
