Amazon Bedrock has expanded the availability of Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 models to India through geographic cross-Region inference. This feature allows customers in India to access these models while processing data in the India Regions. The Mumbai and Hyderabad Regions support this functionality through Amazon Bedrock.

To get started, users can utilize the Amazon Bedrock console or API calls such as Anthropic's Messages API, Amazon Bedrock InvokeModel API, and Converse API. Cross-Region inference ensures requests are routed between ap-south-1 and ap-south-2 Regions, maintaining throughput and consistent performance. Data remains within the source Region, and billing is tracked against the source Region account.
