Try the new console experience in Amazon Bedrock, optimized for Anthropic- and OpenAI-compatible APIs | Amazon Web Services

Amazon Bedrock introduces a refreshed console centered on the bedrock-mantle inference engine, which supports Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Responses, and OpenAI Chat Completions APIs. The experience is designed to streamline model discovery, evaluation, application development, and production setup for GPT, Claude, and open-weight models. It complements the existing console, which remains available for features such as Agents, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails, fine-tuning, and bedrock-runtime APIs.

Model Catalog and Comparison

• Browse supported models in a unified catalog.
• Compare up to three models by:
  • Capabilities and modalities
  • Context window and token limits
  • Pricing and input/output costs
  • Service quotas
  • Regional availability
• Use side-by-side evaluations with identical prompts to compare model responses.

Project-Based Workflow

• Create projects that organize model assignments, evaluations, API keys, and application setup.
• The project dashboard displays:
  • Inference requests and errors over selected date ranges
  • Recently used models
  • Total token usage
  • Tokens per minute
  • Requests per minute
  • Tokens per inference request
• These metrics can guide model selection, prompt optimization, and workload consistency.

Application Setup and Live Documentation

• The console provides project-specific setup instructions for Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs.
• Developers can select an SDK, programming language, and authentication method.
• It generates terminal commands, .env configuration, and sample requests for quick testing.
• Live API documentation automatically inserts the project’s model ID, Region, bedrock-mantle endpoint, and API key reference.
• Documentation updates automatically when project models or settings change.

AI Coding Agent Integration

• Projects can connect coding agents such as Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode.
• Setup instructions cover:
  • Installing the selected agent
  • Using AWS IAM credentials or Bedrock API keys
  • Configuring environment variables
  • Routing agent requests through Bedrock

Availability

The new console is available in Regions offering bedrock-mantle, including locations in the United States, Asia Pacific, Europe, and South America. Users can access it through the existing Bedrock console by selecting Try the Bedrock Mantle Console, while the traditional console remains available for fully managed Bedrock capabilities.

Developers building with Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible APIs can use the new console to move from model evaluation to application testing and deployment with less manual configuration.
