<p>We're excited to announce the availability of Anthropic's <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-anthropic-claude-opus-5.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Claude Opus 5,</a> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-anthropic-claude-sonnet-5.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Claude Sonnet 5</a>, and <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-anthropic-claude-haiku-4-5.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Claude Haiku 4.5</a> on Amazon Bedrock in India, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 in South Korea, as well as Claude Sonnet 5 in Singapore. Customers who need to process data within a specific geography, including those in financial services, healthcare, and the public sector, can now use these models at scale while keeping inference in-country.</p> <p>In India, the regional endpoint is served through geographic cross-Region inference across the Mumbai and Hyderabad Regions. Customers in India can access these models while processing data in India Regions, in addition to the already supported global cross-Region inference.</p> <p>In South Korea, Amazon Bedrock supports Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 models with in-region inference on the bedrock-runtime endpoint in the Seoul (ap-northeast-2) Region. In Singapore (ap-southeast-1), Amazon Bedrock supports Claude Sonnet 5 with in-region inference on the bedrock-runtime endpoint. Amazon Bedrock processes inference requests and data within the Region you call, and the processing never leaves that Region.</p> <p>For the most current information about model availability in each Region, <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/models-region-compatibility.html#model-regions-anthropic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">see Regional availability by models</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.</p>
