Amazon Bedrock enabled in-region inference for Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5 in the UK (London) region. This ensures that data processed by these models remains within the United Kingdom, supporting customer requirements in sensitive sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and government. This regional deployment helps address data residency and privacy concerns while leveraging advanced AI models.
The inference processing operates entirely within the London region, according to AWS documentation, promoting regulatory compliance. Amazon Bedrock offers this capability via the bedrock-runtime endpoint. The availability of Anthropic models regionally may also enhance application responsiveness for UK users, although specific performance benchmarks were not provided.
