Available now in Amazon Bedrock, Palmyra X5 delivers advanced reasoning capabilities with industry-leading speed and cost efficiency

April 28, 2025 – San Francisco, CA – WRITER, the leader in enterprise generative AI, today released its newest and most advanced foundation model, Palmyra X5. The state-of-the-art adaptive reasoning model features a 1 million token context window and industry-leading speed and cost efficiency. Additionally, WRITER and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced today the availability of Palmyra X5 in Amazon Bedrock.

Trained with synthetic data for just $1 million in GPUs, Palmyra X5 delivers the dynamic reasoning capabilities and enterprise-grade reliability required to scale the next era of agents in the enterprise. In an industry first, WRITER also announced that it is now setting 1 million tokens as the minimum context window size for all large language models it releases in the future.

“In the age of agents, models offering less than 1 million tokens of context will quickly become irrelevant for business-critical use cases,” said WRITER CTO and Co-Founder Waseem AlShikh.

Speed and efficiency for multi-step AI agents

Palmyra X5 is one of the fastest and most cost efficient large-context LLMs in the market, unlocking agent behaviors that were previously cost- or time-prohibitive. The model can absorb an entire million-token prompt in ~22 seconds, and it can return individual function-calling turns in ~.3 seconds. Palmyra X5 is priced at just $.60 per 1 million input tokens and $6 per 1 million output tokens.

The model’s balance of performance and affordability is underscored in the latest Longbench v2 evaluation, designed to assess the ability of LLMs to handle long-context problems requiring deep understanding and reasoning across real-world multitasks. Palmyra X5 demonstrates a best-in-class performance-to-cost ratio, with an impressive 53% average score.

The release of Palmyra X5 comes on the heels of WRITER’s release of AI HQ – a new centralized hub for teams to easily build, activate, and supervise AI agents, powered by WRITER’s family of Palmyra models. Palmyra X5 delivers on the AI HQ vision by allowing enterprises to build and deploy more sophisticated AI agents in WRITER using capabilities such as:

• Ability to call tools in external systems and call on WRITER agents as tools
• Built-in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and web connectors
• Dynamic model delegation to call on WRITER’s domain-specific models, including Palmyra Fin, Palmyra Med, and Palmyra Creative
• Ability to use images as inputs
• Code generation and deployment
• Multilingual capabilities in 30+ languages
• Enterprise-grade transparency and reliability

“Palmyra represents a critical step forward for companies seeking to embed generative AI into their enterprise workflows,” said David Cushman, executive research leader at HFS.

With Palmyra X5, enterprises get unmatched performance for multi-step agents, such as pulling in real-time market data across a range of databases and systems to prepare detailed reports.

“At Vanguard, we continue to leverage WRITER’s full-stack platform across the enterprise, arming our crew (employees) with the latest advancements in generative AI technology to support and enhance our content creation and knowledge management capabilities,” said Maulan Byron, Head of Enterprise Productivity and Enablement Platforms.

Palmyra X5 and Palmyra X4 now available in Amazon Bedrock

Palmyra X5 is available beginning today via WRITER’s end-to-end platform and in Amazon Bedrock. Palmyra X4, WRITER’s earlier generation foundation model with a 128k token context window, is also now available in Amazon Bedrock.

AWS is the first cloud provider to deliver fully managed models from WRITER. This collaboration enables AWS and WRITER customers to build and scale enterprise-grade generative AI agents without managing the underlying infrastructure.

“Building on our strong strategic collaboration with WRITER, AWS is excited to offer WRITER’s family of Palmyra models through Bedrock, enabling a new era of agentic innovation for organizations around the world,” said Atul Deo, Director of Amazon Bedrock at AWS.

Hundreds of enterprises including Accenture, Marriott, Prudential, Qualcomm, Uber, Salesforce, and Vanguard are using WRITER’s Palmyra LLMs to power mission-critical AI use cases.
