AWS announced the availability of Claude Sonnet 5.5 on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. This new version is designed for focused coding and knowledge work. It is more efficient and costs less per task than previous models.
Claude Sonnet 5.5 works well for tasks like fixing bugs, generating documents, and creating visuals. It completes work faster and produces more polished results, including diagrams and summaries. This makes it suitable for continuous or large-scale use.
Amazon Bedrock keeps your data within AWS infrastructure, with controls like IAM for access and CloudTrail for audit. Usage appears on your AWS bill. You can try Sonnet 5.5 through the console or programmatically using APIs. Prerequisites include an active AWS account and specific permissions.
You can explore examples with the AWS SDK for Python and monitor usage with CloudWatch and Cost Explorer. Sonnet 5.5 is available now in multiple AWS regions and through the Claude Platform in North America. You can start testing it today.
