DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX pins the Bedrock inference-profile region

Use it now
Useful4 Signal3
Bedrock Notable

Set ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX to pick which regional inference profile your Bedrock models resolve to.

ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX
What

A new environment variable lets Bedrock users choose which regional inference-profile prefix models resolve to. Accepted values are us, eu, apac, jp, au and global. It is added to the environment passthrough sets used for sandboxed and spawned processes, so child processes inherit it.

Details
  • An older seven-entry region list including us-gov is kept separately, used for parsing Bedrock hostnames rather than for this variable.
  • Setting a prefix that cannot be confirmed, or models that resolve to a different prefix, produce warnings (see below).
Usage
export ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX=eu
