  "account": "Amazon Bedrock now offers in-region inference for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 models in Seoul and Singapore. This allows for strict data residency requirements, as inference is processed entirely within the specified AWS Region, without leaving it. This feature is ideal for industries like financial services, healthcare, and the public sector in South Korea and Singapore. To use this feature, one can access the models through the bedrock-runtime endpoint, which supports Anthropic's Messages API, InvokeModel API, and Converse API. The Anthropic Messages API can be accessed either through the Amazon Bedrock console or programmatically using AWS SDK, Boto3, or the Anthropic SDK package. The Claude models can be invoked using the direct model ID, such as anthropic.claude-opus-5 or anthropic.claude-sonnet-5.",
  "summary": "Amazon Bedrock now supports Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 with in-region inference in Seoul, and Claude Sonnet 5 in Singapore. If you have local data processing requirements in South Korea or Singapore, you can now use these Anthropic models at scale, with inference processed entirely within the Region you call.",
