Amazon made CodeWhisperer generally available on 13 April. Its free Individual tier needs only an email address, and code suggestions now cover 15 languages.

The June 2022 preview already offered reference tracking and security scans. It initially generated Java, JavaScript and Python, with scanning specified for Java and Python. Access was free during preview, through a waitlist.
At launch, the Professional tier adds single sign-on, IAM Identity Center integration, policy controls for referenced suggestions and higher security-scan limits. Suggestions can include repository and licence information when they resemble open-source training code.
The preview’s reference tracker let developers inspect a matching example and decide whether to use it. Reference information was part of the product before general availability, rather than a new guarantee that generated code needs no review.
The expanded language list describes code generation. The launch announcement doesn’t establish identical security-scanning coverage across all 15 languages.
It also separates two releases announced today. Bedrock remains in limited preview; CodeWhisperer is available for developers to use now.
