Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock is the AWS service for calling foundation models from Amazon, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral and others through one API, with guardrails, knowledge bases, agents and fine-tuning, billed per token or per provisioned capacity. The runtime endpoint exists in the Middle East (UAE) and Middle East (Bahrain) regions, but AWS's model table distinguishes three patterns that a Saudi buyer must read carefully. Amazon's Nova models are available in-region in the UAE, so processing stays there. Anthropic's models in the UAE and Bahrain are available only through global cross-region inference, which AWS documents as processing in any commercial region. The geographic cross-region groups cover the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific, Japan, Australia and India, with no Middle East group. AWS said on 31 August 2026 that the Saudi region is on track for December 2026 and that HUMAIN's ALLaM model will come to Bedrock; neither has documented model lists yet.
