This is a good option for companies that want the full Claude Platform experience. 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…

"mostly about billing" NO. People, this is about your data .

how so? the data stays with Anthropic

I get they have another option that is in AWS, but this continues the cryptic naming problem AWS already is overloaded with

At this point I can only assume that AWS wants to have this naming issue. It’s an issue they have everywhere. Sagemaker is the worst offender. Only a solution architect can guide through such confusion…

As a long time Amazonian I can tell you it's simply because UX designers basically don't exist in Amazon (in case that wasn't obvious), and the ones that do exist are extremely bad at their job.

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 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.

Yeah it's included

I recently received AWS startup credits and claude models via AWS Bedrock are included.

Yeah its a "marketplace private offer"

As other people have pointed out, it makes contract signing much easier.

THe other side effect is that it bumps up your spend, possibly to the point where you are eligible for "private pricing" ie global discount.

So its a win-win for most people.

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…

Also you can spend your commitment contracts :p

Can confirm that this is the one and only reason that we use Claude through AWS

It is basically like invoicing through AWS Marketplace.
