I think the idea is that you can launder your team or product AI spend through your AWS account. This matters in Enterprise. It looks like the difference with Bedrock is that you access more "Claude platform" stuff than just the model. More charitably, this lets an org heavy on AWS use their existing IAM / SSO / Finops processes to manage Claude stuff, this is genuinely helpful when otherwise you have to go thru seve…
> I think the idea is that you can launder your team or product AI spend through your AWS account. This is exactly it. For any reasonably sized org, setting up new contracts with new vendors involves a lot of procurement, lawyers, negotiations, etc. If a team can just click a button in AWS, there’s no issue. This is a product / solution that solves an organizational problem, not a technical one. I wouldn’t even call…
No, "This is exactly not it." They are buying your data on a cheap.

"mostly about billing" NO. People, this is about your data.
Re: Claude Platform on AWS
#54I wonder how Anthropic will adjust their models as local models compete more closely with API models.
Probably not for another 5-10 years that it matters.
Right now, local LLMs are too expensive to run and not smart enough to matter much.

As someone who is dealing with the procurement of both in a medium sized it, finops and infosec are exactly it.
Re: Claude Platform on AWS
#57A 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 acc…
Are you sure those credits apply to this usage. Many forms of AWS credits dont cover usage of Claude models on Amazon Bedrock for instance, as all of them are billed as third party / marketplace consumption.
Ours have done in other similar bedrock programs.

Do you have experience selling to fortune 100 sized organizations?
“I don’t have the budget for this but we have AWS credits” is something teams beg for all the time.
When people beg to give you money, you accept it. Why? It’s not some conspiracy theory. You accept the money because it’s money.
Re: Claude Platform on AWS
#59I dont think this is about billing as other comments mentioned. AWS bedrock already does that.
I think AWS proposes to host actual agents, meaning you can customize their MCP servers, have them fetch and issue arbitrary requests, etc. Essentially a hosted minimal harness.
This is very much needed, as a form of "hosted claude code", allowing you to actually have the agent code, push, test from e.g. your phone.

it's mostly about procurement. a lot of companies use AWS IAM for single sign on in a multitude of services.
