April 16, 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the general availability of Claude 3 Opus on Amazon Bedrock. Amazon Bedrock is the first and currently only managed service to offer all three Claude 3 models-Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku-as generally available.
March 13, 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the general availability of Claude 3 Haiku on Amazon Bedrock. Amazon Bedrock is the first and currently only managed service to offer Claude 3 models-Sonnet and Haiku-as generally available.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that AI safety and research company Anthropic'sClaude 3 family of state-of-the-art models (industry-leading accuracy, performance, speed, and cost) will be available on Amazon Bedrock-enhancing the ability of customers of all sizes to rapidly test, build, and deploy generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications across their organizations. Amazon Bedrockoffers customers secure, easy access to the widest choice of high-performing, fully managed large language models (LLMs) and other foundation models (FMs). When combined with the broad and comprehensive set of capabilities customers need to take these models and safely customize them (including best-in-class retrieval augmented generation, guardrails, model evaluation, and AI-powered agents), Amazon Bedrock is the easiest way for customers to get started building and scaling generative AI applications, with responsible AI built in.
Customers can access the Claude 3 family of vision-enabled models on Amazon Bedrock. Amazon Bedrock is the first managed service to offer all Claude 3 models-Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Haiku-as generally available. Customers looking for more information should visit the Generative AI on AWSwebpage.
The new, cutting-edge additions from Anthropic broaden Amazon Bedrock's range of generative AI models (which already includes those from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon), further empowering customers with model choice to develop generative AI applications to drive innovation and reinvent end-user experiences.
Data from Anthropicshows that Claude 3 Opus, the most intelligent of the model family, has set a new standard, outperforming other models available today-including OpenAI's GPT-4-in the areas of reasoning, math, and coding. Claude 3 Sonnet offers the best combination of skills and speed, with twice the speed1 of earlier Claude models (for the vast majority of workloads) but higher levels of intelligence. While Claude 3 Haiku, designed to be the fastest, most compact model on the market, is one of the most affordable options available today for its intelligence category, with near-instant responsiveness that mimics human interactions.
According to Anthropic, Claude 3 offers significant improvements over other models available today across tasks such as coding, and being able to understand non-English languages (including Spanish, Japanese, and French), as well as lower levels of hallucinations than the most popular models from other providers, and higher levels of accuracy than earlier models. The Claude 3 models are better than earlier generations at following complex, multi-step instructions and adhering to brand voice guidelines for customer-facing experiences. Further, Claude 3 models can produce outputs in formats that make it easier for customers to develop applications for use cases like natural language classification and sentiment analysis.
All three new models have advanced vision capabilities, enabling them to process diverse data formats and analyze image data to meet customers' growing demand for models that better understand charts, graphs, technical diagrams, photos, and other visual assets.
Global organizations of all sizes, across virtually every industry, are already using Amazon Bedrock to build their generative AI applications with Anthropic's Claude technology. They include ADP, Amdocs, Bridgewater Associates, Broadridge, CelcomDigi, Clariant, Cloudera, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Degas Ltd., Delta Air Lines, Druva, Enverus, Genesys, Genomics England, GoDaddy, Happy Fox, Intuit, KT, LivTech, Lonely Planet, LexisNexis Legal & Professional, M1 Finance, Netsmart, Nexxiot, Parsyl, Perplexity AI, Pfizer,the PGA TOUR, Proto Hologram, Ricoh USA, Rocket Companies, and Siemens.
Customers can use the new Claude models to automate tasks, create new user-facing applications, and accelerate research and development across a diverse range of sectors. They are suited for a wide array of use cases, from complex reasoning and nuanced content creation, to scientific queries, math, and coding.

The addition of Anthropic's Claude 3 models to Amazon Bedrock follows last year's announcementof Anthropic's long-term commitment to provide AWS customers around the world with access to future generations of its foundation models via Amazon Bedrock. As part of the news, Anthropic said it will use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips to build, train, and deploy its future foundation models-benefitting from the price, performance, scale, and security of AWS, with the two companies collaborating on the development of future Trainium and Inferentia technology. It was also announced that AWS will become Anthropic's primary cloud provider for mission critical workloads, including safety research and future foundation model development, and that Amazon would invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic.
"We've been working with Anthropic to bring the most advanced generative AI technologies to customers worldwide, including building on top of our best-in-class infrastructure such as AWS Tranium. We're thrilled to continue that history with the addition of Claude 3 models on Amazon Bedrock," said Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Data and AI at AWS. "Our customers and partners continue to be excited by the advanced applications they can build with Claude on Amazon Bedrock, and the unmatched ability they have to quickly, securely, and responsibly deploy generative AI applications, using differentiated capabilities like knowledge bases, guardrails, and model evaluation, into production to provide new experiences for their end users. The easy access to Claude on Amazon Bedrock has led many of the world's hottest startups, leading enterprise businesses, and government organizations to choose the managed service for deploying their generative AI applications, and we look forward to this accelerating following today's news."
Amazon Bedrock makes it easy to test, build, and scale game-changing applications, which is why more than 10,000 organizations worldwide are currently using Amazon Bedrock to experiment with generative AI before moving applications into production. Many are already using Anthropic's Claude on Amazon Bedrock, and they will soon have access to the Claude 3 models to further drive rapid innovation.
Today's news is the latest AWS generative AI announcement as the company continues to expand its unique offering at all three layers of the generative AI stack-infrastructure, models, and user-facing applications-so customers can use generative AI in a more efficient, extensive, and integrated way across their organizations. The addition of the latest Anthropic Claude models is a continuation of this commitment to provide the latest, most powerful models to help customers accelerate innovation using generative AI.
