Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API format

Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API as a model invocation type, enabling you to use a consistent, model-agnostic input format for your batch workloads.

Previously, batch inference required model-specific request formats using the InvokeModel API. Now, when creating a batch inference job, you can select Converse as the model invocation type and structure your input data using the standard Converse API request format. Output for Converse batch jobs follows the Converse API response format. With this feature, you can use the same unified request format for both real-time and batch inference, simplifying prompt management and reducing the effort needed to switch between models. You can configure the Converse model invocation type through both the Amazon Bedrock console and the API.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions that support Amazon Bedrock batch inference. To get started, see Create a batch inference job and Format and upload your batch inference data in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.
