OpenAI GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock
Today, AWS announces the general availability of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna from OpenAI on Amazon Bedrock. Expanding the GPT-6 family alongside Astra, these two models give teams more ways to balance intelligence, speed, and cost across every workload. Sol is the daily model for recurring complex tasks and software development.
Claude Opus 5.5 launches with a 1M token context window and 128k output
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, with a default 1M token context, 128k max output and always-on adaptive thinking. It costs $4 / $20 per MTok, below Claude Opus 5, and is on the Claude API, Bedrock, Google Cloud and Microsoft Foundry.
Fast mode research preview available for Claude Opus 5.5 on the Claude API
Fast mode, in research preview, can now be used with Claude Opus 5.5 on the Claude API.
Claude API beta lets tools be defined inside mid-conversation system messages
With the inline-tools-2026-09-15 beta header, a tool_addition block can carry a full tool definition, so agents can add tools, change schemas or upgrade server tools mid-conversation without invalidating the prompt cache. The same header covers adding and removing tools by reference.
Drives for Vercel Sandbox are now in public beta
Drives for Vercel Sandbox are now available in public beta on Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise. A Drive is persistent storage that you mount as a directory in a Vercel Sandbox. It isn’t tied to a single sandbox, so you can reuse the same Drive across runs and different sandbox instances.
Deprecation notice: All-platform CodeQL bundle
Starting with CodeQL CLI 2.27.0 , the all-platform CodeQL bundle (i.e., codeql-bundle.tar.gz and codeql-bundle.tar.zst ), which includes the binaries for all supported platforms up to this release, is marked as deprecated. In mid-March 2027, we will remove the all-platform CodeQL bundle.

Lakebase observability telemetry in system tables (Beta)
Lakebase captures its Postgres observability telemetry into the system.lakebase system tables, with no configuration to create and no destination to choose. Query plans, session history, wait events, schema-change history, database and compute health, and Postgres logs land there, and records are retained for 7 days.
ai_search can search Lakebase synced tables (Beta)
The ai_search function can now retrieve from Lakebase synced tables with Lakebase Search enabled, in addition to AI Search indexes. Add a lakebase_search knowledge source to search a Lakebase synced table, or combine it with vector_search sources in the same call. This feature is in Beta . See ai_search function .
Lakebase Search is generally available
Lakebase Search is now generally available. It brings scalable vector and keyword search to Lakebase projects through two Postgres extensions, so you can run semantic and exact-term search in a single database without a separate search stack: lakebase_vector adds the lakebase_ann index type for approximate nearest-neighbor vector search.
Lakebase Search adds a configurable text tokenizer for keyword search
The new lakebase_tokenizer extension lets you control how Lakebase Search turns text into search terms, so keyword search matches the way your data and users actually read. Native PostgreSQL full-text search gives you little control over this step.
Lakebase snapshots API (Beta)
You can now manage Lakebase snapshots programmatically. The snapshots API lets you create, get, list, and delete point-in-time snapshots of a project branch, and restore a snapshot by creating a new branch from it. This API is in Beta. See Create a snapshot .
Supported Postgres extensions updated to new versions
The following supported Postgres extensions are now available at newer versions. Existing installations keep their current version until you update them with ALTER EXTENSION .
LTAP Direct Writes is generally available
LTAP Direct Writes is now generally available. It speeds up how synced tables load into Lakebase by writing the initial load and full refreshes directly to the storage layer instead of through your compute endpoint, so large loads finish faster without competing with your queries.
Lakebase now supports PCI-DSS and HITRUST in all AWS regions
Lakebase is now PCI-DSS and HITRUST compliant in all AWS regions where it is available, for workspaces with the compliance security profile enabled. Previously, this support was limited to the us-east-1 region on AWS. See Data protection .
