<p>Amazon Bedrock now supports the reasoning.summary parameter for OpenAI models through the Responses API. This capability lets you request a human-readable summary of a model’s reasoning alongside its response, helping you understand its approach to complex tasks such as coding, analysis, and multi-step problem solving.</p> <p>Reasoning summaries give developers additional context for evaluating responses, debugging applications, and showing 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>To learn more, see the OpenAI documentation on r<a href="https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/reasoning#reasoning-summaries">easoning summaries</a>. To get started with OpenAI GPT models on Amazon Bedrock, see documentation <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/getting-started.html">here</a>.</p>
