Does seem to be mostly about billing like others said. But it might mean cloudformation / terraform providers for claude-platform, guess that's nice.

It might make strict networking/firewall things slightly easier somehow. But for everyone who thinks the new offering is about jurisdictional matters, it's not, that's the old one:

Hide some of your ballooning AI spend behind your ballooning AWS bill

Couldn’t you already do that with Claude via AWS?

But you couldn't do it with the Claude app or the recently announced Claude Managed Agents I think.

Might be for enterprise customers (with slow procurement departments) who already have AWS accounts but not Anthropic ones.

So then they could use Bedrock, no?

A lot of tools, community and Anthropic’s, have zero support for Bedrock.

Anthropic’s offerings for Bedrock lag behind their main platform by months, maybe up to a year or more.

A little startup I'm part of is on the AWS startup program giving us £10k in AWA credits so the more we can "proxy" through AWS the better.

We already heavily rely on anthropic models via Bedrock but I'll be interested to see if the tok/s throughout is better on this new service (or worse).

To be honest though after a quick skim, I'm unclear what other advantages this might offer over Bedrock where we can already access the models including vision etc. Will it be worth refactoring our services, all our terraform etc? Unclear at this stage, especially since Bedrock allows us to use more than just the anthropic models if needed

Anthropic operates the service and data is processed outside the AWS boundary. So it's not... On AWS... ? This statement sounds.... Backwards? I get they have another option that is in AWS, but this continues the cryptic naming problem AWS already is overloaded with

there’s a top level feature in aws for investors to give out credits of like $120k of AWS spend during funding rounds. there’s min commits of spend for cheaper prices (RI). funneling costs and invoicing though aws has real benefits. aws spend monitoring is literally a sub industry with billion dollar players
