Anthropic rolled out the Claude Platform on AWS as a generally available service, letting customers tap the full Claude API suite through native AWS authentication and billing. Integration leverages IAM, CloudTrail logging, and a single invoice that offsets existing commitments. The offering now spans most commercial AWS regions, supporting both global and U.S. inference zones and simplifies cost management for large enterprises.

New beta tools arrive with the launch, notably Claude Managed Agents for large‑scale agent deployment, an Advisor strategy that consults a secondary model, and code execution that runs Python directly inside API calls. Additional features include web fetch, a Files API, Skills training, prompt caching, citations, and batch processing. Users also gain access to the Claude Console for prompt engineering and evaluation.

Customers such as OpenRouter and internal Anthropic teams report unchanged latency, high throughput, and seamless IAM‑based access control. The platform coexists with Claude on Amazon Bedrock, which keeps data processing inside AWS for strict residency needs, while the new service lets Anthropic operate the backend for full feature parity. Early adopters credit the joint support model for rapid scaling.
