AWS Bedrock is a managed service provided by Amazon on AWS that allows companies to build applications that utilise AI in their own products. A number of different foundation models (FM) are available. A notable exclusion to this list is OpenAI.

This enables companies running on AWS to utilise AI APIs from within the same data centres that their applications run in, reducing response times and combining billing into one invoice. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for AWS customers to use AI in their products while paying for the privilege.

Having access to multiple models through the same API also allows developers to quickly iterate. Testing different models on different applications can yield different results. Being able to use the same API to test and deploy an application makes it easy to pick the right model for the task.
