Anthropic launched the subsequent era of Claude fashions in the present day—Opus 4 and Sonnet 4—designed for coding, superior reasoning, and the help of the subsequent era of succesful, autonomous AI brokers. Each fashions are actually usually accessible in Amazon Bedrock, giving builders speedy entry to each the mannequin’s superior reasoning and agentic capabilities.
Amazon Bedrock expands your AI selections with Anthropic’s most superior fashions, supplying you with the liberty to construct transformative functions with enterprise-grade safety and accountable AI controls. Each fashions prolong what’s potential with AI methods by bettering process planning, software use, and agent steerability.
With Opus 4’s superior intelligence, you’ll be able to construct brokers that deal with long-running, high-context duties like refactoring massive codebases, synthesizing analysis, or coordinating cross-functional enterprise operations. Sonnet 4 is optimized for effectivity at scale, making it a robust match as a subagent or for high-volume duties like code opinions, bug fixes, and production-grade content material era.
When constructing with generative AI, many builders work on long-horizon duties. These workflows require deep, sustained reasoning, typically involving multistep processes, planning throughout massive contexts, and synthesizing numerous inputs over prolonged timeframes. Good examples of those workflows are developer AI brokers that make it easier to to refactor or remodel massive tasks. Current fashions could reply rapidly and fluently, however sustaining coherence and context over time—particularly in areas like coding, analysis, or enterprise workflows—can nonetheless be difficult.
Claude Opus 4
Claude Opus 4 is probably the most superior mannequin to this point from Anthropic, designed for constructing subtle AI brokers that may purpose, plan, and execute advanced duties with minimal oversight. Anthropic benchmarks present it’s the greatest coding mannequin accessible available on the market in the present day. It excels in software program growth eventualities the place prolonged context, deep reasoning, and adaptive execution are important. Builders can use Opus 4 to write down and refactor code throughout complete tasks, handle full-stack architectures, or design agentic methods that break down high-level objectives into executable steps. It demonstrates sturdy efficiency on coding and agent-focused benchmarks like SWE-bench and TAU-bench, making it a pure selection for constructing brokers that deal with multistep growth workflows. For instance, Opus 4 can analyze technical documentation, plan a software program implementation, write the required code, and iteratively refine it—whereas monitoring necessities and architectural context all through the method.
Claude Sonnet 4
Claude Sonnet 4 enhances Opus 4 by balancing efficiency, responsiveness, and value, making it well-suited for high-volume manufacturing workloads. It’s optimized for on a regular basis growth duties with enhanced efficiency, resembling powering code opinions, implementing bug fixes, and new characteristic growth with speedy suggestions loops. It might additionally energy production-ready AI assistants for close to real-time functions. Sonnet 4 is a drop-in alternative from Claude Sonnet 3.7. In multi-agent methods, Sonnet 4 performs nicely as a task-specific subagent—dealing with duties like focused code opinions, search and retrieval, or remoted characteristic growth inside a broader pipeline. You may as well use Sonnet 4 to handle steady integration and supply (CI/CD) pipelines, carry out bug triage, or combine APIs, all whereas sustaining excessive throughput and developer-aligned output.
Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 are hybrid reasoning fashions providing two modes: near-instant responses and prolonged pondering for deeper reasoning. You possibly can select near-instant responses for interactive functions, or allow prolonged pondering when a request advantages from deeper evaluation and planning. Considering is very helpful for long-context reasoning duties in areas like software program engineering, math, or scientific analysis. By configuring the mannequin’s pondering finances—for instance, by setting a most token depend—you’ll be able to tune the tradeoff between latency and reply depth to suit your workload.
Easy methods to get began
To see Opus 4 or Sonnet 4 in motion, allow the brand new mannequin in your AWS account. Then, you can begin coding utilizing the Bedrock Converse API with mannequin IDanthropic.claude-opus-4-20250514-v1:0 for Opus 4 and anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0 for Sonnet 4. We suggest utilizing the Converse API, as a result of it offers a constant API that works with all Amazon Bedrock fashions that help messages. This implies you’ll be able to write code one time and use it with totally different fashions.
For instance, let’s think about I write an agent to evaluation code earlier than merging adjustments in a code repository. I write the next code that makes use of the Bedrock Converse API to ship a system and consumer prompts. Then, the agent consumes the streamed consequence.
non-public let modelId = "us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0"
// Outline the system immediate that instructs Claude easy methods to reply
let systemPrompt = """
You're a senior iOS developer with deep experience in Swift, particularly Swift 6 concurrency. Your job is to carry out a code evaluation centered on figuring out concurrency-related edge instances, potential race circumstances, and misuse of Swift concurrency primitives resembling Process, TaskGroup, Sendable, @MainActor, and @preconcurrency.
You need to evaluation the code fastidiously and flag any patterns or logic which will trigger surprising conduct in concurrent environments, resembling accessing shared mutable state with out correct isolation, incorrect actor utilization, or non-Sendable varieties crossing concurrency boundaries.

"""
let system: BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.SystemContentBlock = .textual content(systemPrompt)
// Create the consumer message with textual content immediate and picture
let userPrompt = """
Are you able to evaluation the next Swift code for concurrency points? Let me know what may go improper and easy methods to repair it.
"""
let immediate: BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.ContentBlock = .textual content(userPrompt)
// Create the consumer message with each textual content and picture content material
let userMessage = BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.Message(
content material: [prompt],
position: .consumer
)
// Initialize the messages array with the consumer message
var messages: [BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.Message] = []
messages.append(userMessage)
// Configure the inference parameters
let inferenceConfig: BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.InferenceConfiguration = .init(maxTokens: 4096, temperature: 0.0)
// Create the enter for the Converse API with streaming
let enter = ConverseStreamInput(inferenceConfig: inferenceConfig, messages: messages, modelId: modelId, system: [system])
// Make the streaming request
do {
// Course of the stream
let response = strive await bedrockClient.converseStream(enter: enter)
// Iterate by way of the stream occasions
for strive await occasion in stream {
change occasion {
case .messagestart:
print("AI-assistant began to stream"")
case let .contentblockdelta(deltaEvent):
// Deal with textual content content material because it arrives
if case let .textual content(textual content) = deltaEvent.delta {
self.streamedResponse + = textual content
print(textual content, termination: "")
}
case .messagestop:
print("nnStream ended")
// Create an entire assistant message from the streamed response
let assistantMessage = BedrockRuntimeClientTypes.Message(
content material: [.text(self.streamedResponse)],
position: .assistant
)
messages.append(assistantMessage)
default:
break
}
}
That can assist you get began, my colleague Dennis maintains a broad vary of code examples for a number of use instances and a wide range of programming languages.
