Amazon Bedrock now supports reasoning summaries for OpenAI models

Amazon Bedrock Updates

Amazon Bedrock now supports the reasoning.summary parameter for OpenAI models through the Responses API. This new feature allows you to request a human-readable summary of a model’s reasoning alongside its response, aiding in understanding its approach to complex tasks such as coding, analysis, and multi-step problem solving.

Reasoning summaries provide developers with additional context for evaluating responses, debugging applications, and demonstrating to users how a model approached a request. The summary is returned in the summary array of the reasoning output item, alongside the model’s answer.

This capability is available for all OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock in all AWS Regions where OpenAI GPT models are available, including in-Region inference, geographic (GEO) cross-Region inference, and global cross-Region inference.

What to do

• Review the OpenAI documentation on reasoning summaries for more details.
• Check out the Amazon Bedrock documentation to get started with OpenAI GPT models.
