The cloud infrastructure landscape for AI startups has become fragmented across multiple providers, with OpenAI leaving Microsoft's Azure to launch GPT-5.5 and Codex on AWS Bedrock, while Anthropic, DeepSeek, and other models are available through various platforms. This fragmentation means startups must navigate multiple credit programs, including AWS Activate's $300,000 in cloud credits for qualified AI startups and $5,000 baseline, along with separate founder programs from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini, making it essential for founders to understand these programs to optimize their infrastructure costs.

OpenAI Left Microsoft - And Nobody's Talking About What That Means for FoundersAdded:
Open AI just left Azure. Microsoft lost the exclusive.
May 2026, GPT 5.5 and Codex landed on AWS Bedrock. Anthropic was already there. Deep Seek routes through Together AI. Same console, four model providers, one AWS account. Microsoft just lost the Open AI exclusive. The angle most founders miss, AWS activate covers Bedrock inference end-to-end. $300,000 in cloud credits if you qualify as an AI startup. $5,000 baseline if you don't. Multi-model fallback free. 2-hour migration, by the way. AI perks pulls the activate application plus Anthropic, Open AI, and Gemini founder programs. Link in profile.
