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

In this post, we walk you through how to implement a fully automated, context-aware AI solution using a serverless architecture on AWS. This solution helps organizations looking to deploy responsible AI systems, align with compliance requirements for vulnerable populations, and help maintain appropriate and trustworthy AI responses across diverse user groups without compromising performance or governance.

Last year, AWS announced an integration between Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and Amazon S3 general purpose buckets. This integration makes it straightforward for teams to use unstructured data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for machine learning (ML) and data analytics use cases. In this post, we show how to integrate S3 general purpose buckets with Amazon SageMaker Catalog to fine-tune Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct for visual question answering (VQA) using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio.

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 explore how the multimodal foundation models (FMs) of Amazon Bedrock enable scalable video understanding through three distinct architectural approaches. Each approach is designed for different use cases and cost-performance trade-offs.

In this series of posts, you will learn how streaming architectures help address these challenges using Pipecat voice agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime. In Part 1, you will learn how to deploy Pipecat voice agents on AgentCore Runtime using different network transport approaches including WebSockets, WebRTC and telephony integration, with practical deployment guidance and code samples.

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.

In this post, we walk through how to search for available p-family GPU capacity, create a training plan reservation for inference, and deploy a SageMaker AI inference endpoint on that reserved capacity. We follow a data scientist’s journey as they reserve capacity for model evaluation and manage the endpoint throughout the reservation lifecycle.

This post introduces Claude Tool use in Amazon Bedrock which uses the power of large language models (LLMs) to perform dynamic, adaptable entity recognition without extensive setup or training.

In this blog post, we show you how Reco implemented Amazon Bedrock to help transform security alerts and achieve significant improvements in incident response times.
