Claude Opus 4.8 is now available in AWS GovCloud (US)

AWS GovCloud (US) now offers Claude Opus 4.8 -- Anthropic's most capable generally available model to date -- delivering meaningful advances across agentic coding, professional knowledge work, and long-running autonomous tasks for developers and enterprises building production AI applications.

Claude Opus 4.8 can perform longer autonomous runs, deeper reasoning, and consistency to be trusted with production work. For coding, the Opus 4.8 reads codebases like an engineer, plans before it edits, and holds context across long sessions in real repositories. For agentic tasks, it is better at finding paths around obstacles instead of stalling, recovering from its own errors, and knowing when to ask for help versus when to keep going. For knowledge work, it better synthesizes across long documents and complex sources, self-checks its output, and delivers structured deliverables that hold up to review.

Amazon Bedrock keeps your data within AWS infrastructure and provides access to Claude Opus 4.8 through a unified service with AWS-managed features like Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and regional data residency. To learn more, see Amazon Bedrock documentation and regional availability.
