In a recent announcement, Amazon Web Services (AWS) revealed that Anthropic's state-of-the-art Claude 3 models will be accessible on Amazon Bedrock, bolstering the capability of organizations to swiftly test, construct, and deploy generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Amazon Bedrock provides customers with secure access to a wide array of high-performing, fully managed large language models (LLMs) and foundation models (FMs), coupled with essential customization capabilities such as retrieval augmented generation, guardrails, and AI-powered agents, making it the ideal platform for building and scaling generative AI applications responsibly.

The Claude 3 family comprises vision-enabled models including Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Haiku, with Sonnet already available and Opus and Haiku set to be released in the coming weeks. These models, developed by Anthropic, expand Amazon Bedrock's range of generative AI models, empowering customers with diverse options to drive innovation and redefine user experiences. Claude 3 Opus, in particular, has set a new benchmark by surpassing other models, including OpenAI's GPT-4, in reasoning, math, and coding capabilities, while Sonnet offers an exceptional balance of speed and intelligence, and Haiku stands out for its compactness and affordability.

Anthropic's Claude 3 models boast significant enhancements over existing models in tasks such as coding, multilingual understanding, and maintaining accuracy and coherence. With advanced vision capabilities, these models can process various data formats and analyze images, meeting the growing demand for AI models that comprehend visual data. Already, global organizations across various sectors, including ADP, Delta Air Lines, and Pfizer, are leveraging Amazon Bedrock with Anthropic's Claude technology to automate tasks, develop user-facing applications, and expedite research and development initiatives.
