Amazon Bedrock
by Amazon
Amazon Bedrock is AWS's fully managed service for accessing foundation models from Anthropic (Claude), Meta (Llama), Mistral, Stability AI, and Amazon's own Titan models through a single API. It handles infrastructure, security, and compliance, making it the default choice for enterprises already in the AWS ecosystem that want to build AI applications without managing model servers. Features include fine-tuning, knowledge bases for RAG, AI Agents for workflow automation, and Guardrails for responsible AI deployment.
Amazon Bedrock features and capabilities, including which plan they need and how they compare in the CanIUse matrix.
