Amazon Bedrock features all three versions of Anthropic’s Claude 3 artificial intelligence (AI) model.
This makes Bedrock the first, and so far only, managed service to make all three Claude 3 models (Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku) generally available, Amazon said in a Tuesday (April 16) news release. stated in the release.
This will “empower customers of all sizes to rapidly test, build and deploy generative solutions,” the release added. [AI] It is an organization-wide application. ”
As PYMNTS wrote last week, Bedrock is part of Amazon’s “three-tier” approach to AI, which was also the subject of CEO Andy Jassy’s recent letter to shareholders.
“At the bottom, Amazon provides foundational tools for developers and enterprises to build their own AI models (FM),” the report said.
The middle tier includes managed services that allow customers to take an existing underlying model and customize it for specific applications. Bedrock is one of these services, providing a platform for building and scaling generative AI applications through a variety of pre-trained models.
“At the top layer, Amazon is building a variety of generative AI applications across its consumer and AWS businesses,” PYMNTS writes. “These applications include AI-powered shopping assistants, enhanced voice assistants like Alexa, and new advertising solutions.”
Claude 3 has been part of Bedrock since last month, when Amazon announced it was investing an additional $2.75 billion in Anthropic, bringing its total investment in the company to $4 billion.

Under the agreement, Anthropic has a long-term commitment to use AWS as its primary cloud provider, use AWS Tranium and Inferentia chips for future AI models, and provide AWS customers with access to future generations of underlying models on Bedrock. We are conducting various initiatives.
Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President, Data and AI, said: “Generative AI is poised to become the most innovative technology of our time. We believe our strategic partnership with Anthropic will further improve the experience for our customers, and we look forward to seeing what’s next.” Amazon Web Services (AWS), it said at the time.
