Anthropic‘s entire family of Claude 3 models is now generally available on Amazon’s AI development platform. More than a month after announcing that Claude 3 Sonnet and Haiku were publicly accessible on Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic’s most advanced large language model, Opus, joins the group. This makes Amazon the first managed service to support all three AI models.

At one point, Opus claimed the title of “best AI model” in the Chatbot Arena. However, OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo reclaimed its reign this week.

Developers can now leverage Claude 3 Opus to build generative AI applications to help automate tasks, develop revenue workflows within user-facing applications, conduct complex financial forecasts and even help with research and development.

Like its siblings, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus supports a maximum of 200,000 tokens. It can also speak English, Japanese, Spanish and multiple other languages. On Amazon Bedrock, the model is priced at $0.015 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.075 per 1,000 output tokens. Unsurprising, Opus is more expensive than Sonnet ($0.003 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.015 per 1,000 output tokens) and Haiku ($0.00025 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.00125 per 1,000 output tokens).

Having Opus on a fully managed service could offer peace of mind to enterprise customers looking to tap into the advanced model’s capabilities. After all, something this powerful likely requires a ton of upkeep and resources, which not many companies can provide or deal with. Amazon’s experience with the cloud and infrastructure could be a big selling point.

Though generally available, Amazon says Claude 3 Opus is only available today within its US West (Oregon) Region. Check out its full Region list to see when the AI model will be available in your area.

The association between Anthropic and Amazon shouldn’t be surprising. After all, Amazon is investing $4 billion in the OpenAI rival in what is described as the e-commerce giant’s “largest venture investment.” However, Amazon is also no stranger to supporting the best-in-class AI models companies may need, such as the entire line from Mistral AI.
