Constantly updating its compatible foundation models list, Amazon Bedrock has added to its offerings, including Anthropic's new Claude Sonnet 3.7.

While, as described in Amazon Updates Bedrock With Custom Model Support you can bring your own model to the platform, the aim is always for support out of the box to make everything available to all clients.

Last year we covered the introduction of  Anthropic's Claude3 Opus. At the time (May 2024), Claude 3 Opus was the most intelligent Anthropic model, sporting the best-in-market performance on highly complex tasks. It could do both text as well as image generation and was useful in domains such as:

• Task automation: planning and execution of complex actions across APIs, databases, and interactive coding
• Research: brainstorming and hypothesis generation, research review, and drug discovery
• Strategy: advanced analysis of charts and graphs, financials and market trends, and forecasting

As of this week, Bedrock's arsenal is expanding with the introduction of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which is now the most intelligent model to date. It stands out as Anthropic's first hybrid reasoning model capable of producing quick responses or extended thinking, meaning it can work through difficult problems using careful, step-by-step reasoning.

The model on Bedrock has two modes—standard and extended thinking mode—which can be toggled. For quicker response but
not so detailed answers, use the standard mode. For more intricate scenarios, deep thinking and better quality of answering, go for the extended thinking mode. You can control speed and cost by choosing when to use reasoning capabilities. And for coders, version 3.7 excels at it, even in standard mode.

But that's not all. Bedrock recently also added Luma AI’s Ray2 video model, which generates high-quality video clips from text and creates captivating motion graphics from static concepts. As such AWS became the first and only cloud provider to offer fully managed models from Luma AI. With that addition, AI applications can add high-quality, realistic, production-ready videos generated from text through a single API.

And what about DeepSeek? Yes, this also too please.
Of course, unless you're living under a rock, you would had heard about Chinese model DeepSeek. 
DeepSeek is different than the rest in that it is both a powerful and a cost-efficient model, meaning that it requires minimal infrastructure investment. AWS gets now powered up by DeepSeek-R1-Zero with 671 billion parameters, and DeepSeek-R1-Distill models ranging from 1.5–70 billion parameters. Like Sonnet, R1 is a reasoning model simulating how humans thinks also exposing the thought process to the user for extra validation.

This and another hundred models or so you can get access to from the Amazon Bedrock Marketplace.
