# Overview
Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides secure, enterprise-grade access to [high-performing foundation models](models.md) from leading AI companies, enabling you to build and scale generative AI applications.
## Quickstart
Read the [Quickstart](getting-started.md) to write your first API call using Amazon Bedrock in under five minutes. For new applications, we recommend the [`bedrock-runtime`](endpoints.md) endpoint.
------
#### [ Messages API ]
```
from anthropic import Anthropic
from aws_bedrock_token_generator import provide_token
token = provide_token(region="us-east-1")
client = Anthropic(
base_url="https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/anthropic",
api_key=token,
)
response = client.messages.create(
model="global.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7",
max_tokens=1024,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain the features of Amazon Bedrock?"}]
)
print(response)
```
------
#### [ Responses API ]
```
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
response = client.responses.create(
model="global.openai.gpt-5.6-sol",
input="Can you explain the features of Amazon Bedrock?"
)
print(response)
```
------
#### [ Chat Completions API ]
```
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="global.openai.gpt-5.6-sol",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain the features of Amazon Bedrock?"}]
)
print(response)
```
------
#### [ Converse API ]
```
import boto3
client = boto3.client('bedrock-runtime', region_name='us-east-1')
response = client.converse(
modelId='anthropic.claude-opus-4-7',
messages=[
{
'role': 'user',
'content': [{'text': 'Can you explain the features of Amazon Bedrock?'}]
}
]
)
print(response)
```
------
#### [ Invoke API ]
```
import json
import boto3
client = boto3.client('bedrock-runtime', region_name='us-east-1')
response = client.invoke_model(
modelId='anthropic.claude-opus-4-7',
body=json.dumps({
'anthropic_version': 'bedrock-2023-05-31',
'messages': [{ 'role': 'user', 'content': 'Can you explain the features of Amazon Bedrock?'}],
'max_tokens': 1024
})
)
print(json.loads(response['body'].read()))
```

## What's new?
+ [OpenAI GPT-6 Astra is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/09/openai-gpt-6-astra-on-amazon-bedrock/): GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's newest and most capable model. It can reason through hard choices in business tasks. It can write and design polished content. It can also use computers and web browsers. The model accepts up to 1 million input tokens. See the [GPT-6 Astra](model-card-openai-gpt-6-astra.md) model card for details.
+ [Grok 4.6 from xAI now available in Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/08/amazon-bedrock-grok-4-6/): xAI's latest flagship model, built for long-running agents, coding, and knowledge work, with a 500K context window and configurable reasoning efforts (low, medium, high, xhigh). Available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock is offered. See the [Grok 4.6](model-card-xai-grok-4-6.md) model card for details.
+ [Amazon Bedrock expands API support and adds cross-Region inference for OpenAI models](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/08/amazon-bedrock-cross-region-openai-v2/): OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are now available on the [`bedrock-runtime`](endpoints.md) endpoint through the Responses, Converse, and Chat Completions APIs, and now support Global and Geo cross-Region inference for higher throughput and lower per-token cost (including new US Geo CRIS). See [Cross-Region inference](cross-region-inference.md) for details.
+ [Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue from OpenAI now available in Amazon Bedrock (limited availability)](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/08/openai-daybreak-red-and-blue-on-amazon-bedrock/): Specialized cybersecurity models from OpenAI's Daybreak initiative, available to eligible customers. Daybreak Red (GPT-5.6 Cyber) is purpose-trained for vulnerability research, exploit reproduction, and mitigation development. Daybreak Blue (GPT-5.6 Sol) has safeguards calibrated for defensive cybersecurity work. See the [Daybreak Red: GPT-5.6 Cyber](model-card-openai-gpt-56-cyber.md) and [Daybreak Blue: GPT-5.6 Sol](model-card-openai-gpt-daybreak-blue-56-sol.md) model cards for details.
+ [Web Search now available in Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/08/amazon-bedrock-web/): A built-in server-side tool that grounds OpenAI GPT models on Amazon Bedrock in current web knowledge through a single tool-use parameter in the Responses API, with no third-party search vendor to onboard. Search uses an AWS-hosted web index, and Fetch can optionally retrieve from the external web under explicit IAM control. Available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon). See [Web Search](web-search.md) for details.
+ [OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna now available in Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/07/openai-gpt-sol-terra/): A family of models from OpenAI that ranges from advanced reasoning to fast, cost-effective inference, now generally available through the Responses API on Amazon Bedrock. See the [GPT-5.6 Sol](model-card-openai-gpt-56-sol.md), [GPT-5.6 Terra](model-card-openai-gpt-56-terra.md), and [GPT-5.6 Luna](model-card-openai-gpt-56-luna.md) model cards for details.
