Access request: enable Anthropic models in Bedrock for enterprise internal research

To enable Anthropic models in Amazon Bedrock for your enterprise internal research, you'll need to follow a specific process since Anthropic models require additional approval.

For Anthropic models specifically, you need to submit use case details before you can invoke them. This is a requirement from Anthropic as a third-party model provider. Even though Bedrock has recently simplified model access for many foundation models, Anthropic models still require this additional step.

You'll need to submit a support request through the AWS Support Center. The recommended approach is to:

1. Go to the AWS Support Center Console at https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/create
2. Create a case under the "Account and billing" section
3. Select the "bedrock-allowlisting" category code
4. Provide details about your enterprise internal research use case

This support request is necessary for AWS to verify you're a corporate customer and to ensure they can grant you access in accordance with applicable laws and internal policies. The good news is that "Account and billing" inquiries are free of charge, so you won't incur additional costs for this request.

Once your request is approved, you should be able to access and use Anthropic models in Amazon Bedrock for your enterprise internal research purposes.
