Today, we’re excited to announce that Amazon Bedrock is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region (ap-southeast-6). Customers in New Zealand can now access Anthropic Claude models (Claude Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5) and Amazon (Nova 2 Lite) models directly in the Auckland Region with cross region inference. In this post, we explore how cross-Region inference works from the New Zealand Region, the models available through geographic and global routing, and how to get started with your first API call. We

Today, we’re excited to announce the new Bidirectional Streaming API for Amazon Polly, enabling streamlined real-time text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis where you can start sending text and receiving audio simultaneously. This new API is built for conversational AI applications that generate text or audio incrementally, like responses from large language models (LLMs), where users must begin synthesizing audio before the full text is available.

In this post, we walk through the end-to-end workflow of using RFT on Amazon Bedrock with OpenAI-compatible APIs: from setting up authentication, to deploying a Lambda-based reward function, to kicking off a training job and running on-demand inference on your fine-tuned model.

This post explores the technical characteristics of the Nemotron 3 Super model and discusses potential application use cases. It also provides technical guidance to get started using this model for your generative AI applications within the Amazon Bedrock environment.

In this blog post, we introduce the concepts behind next-generation inference capabilities, including disaggregated serving, intelligent request scheduling, and expert parallelism. We discuss their benefits and walk through how you can implement them on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS to achieve significant improvements in inference performance, resource utilization, and operational efficiency.

In this post, we explain how P-EAGLE works, how we integrated it into vLLM starting from v0.16.0 (PR#32887), and how to serve it with our pre-trained checkpoints.

Today, we’re announcing two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Bedrock, TimeToFirstToken and EstimatedTPMQuotaUsage. In this post, we cover how these work and how to set alarms, establish baselines, and proactively manage capacity using them.

In this post, we explain how we implemented multi-LoRA inference for Mixture of Experts (MoE) models in vLLM, describe the kernel-level optimizations we performed, and show you how you can benefit from this work. We use GPT-OSS 20B as our primary example throughout this post.

We’re excited to announce the availability of Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 through Amazon Bedrock global cross-Region inference for customers operating in the Middle East. In this post, we guide you through the capabilities of each Anthropic Claude model variant, the key advantages of global cross-Region inference including improved resilience, real-world use cases you can implement, and a code example to help you start building generative AI applications immediately.

Today, we are announcing three new capabilities that address these requirements: proxy configuration, browser profiles, and browser extensions. Together, these features give you fine-grained control over how your AI agents interact with the web. This post will walk through each capability with configuration examples and practical use cases to help you get started.
