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.

import boto3

# Reads AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION from env
client = boto3.client("bedrock-runtime", region_name="us-east-1")
response = client.converse(
    modelId="anthropic.claude-opus-5",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": [{"text": "Hello"}]
    }]
)
print(response["output"]["message"]["content"][0]["text"])

About Claude Opus 5

Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic's July 2026 flagship Opus model for complex agentic coding, enterprise work, long-horizon reasoning, computer use, and professional analysis. It accepts text and image input and returns text, with adaptive thinking enabled by default and five request-level effort settings from low through max that control thinking depth and token use rather than visible response length. It also supports tool use, structured outputs, prompt caching, Batch API, a 1M-token context window, and up to 128K synchronous output tokens.
