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.

Bedrock requests and responses carry a service tier

Bedrock

Bedrock requests now send and read a service tier header.

What

On AWS Bedrock, both the single-shot and streaming model calls now send and read a service tier value via the X-Amzn-Bedrock-Service-Tier header. Only affects the Bedrock provider.

Evidence

X-Amzn-Bedrock-Service-Tier

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
