Gotchas

Use Amazon Bedrock model IDs, e.g. "anthropic.claude-3-opus-20240229-v1:0" for on-demand, or cross-region inference profile IDs like "us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7-20251101-v1:0". These differ from the public model slug.
The endpoint template includes a region segment; set the same region in your SDK/client configuration.
The examples expect AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
