When you use Claude Code through Bedrock and a region is set that is neither a US region nor a Canadian one (names starting `ca-`), Claude Code now changes the model ID it sends. Before, it used one fixed Bedrock model ID for every region.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use Bedrock outside the US and Canada, you may now get a model ID suited to your region instead of the fixed one.\n\n- Area: Bedrock\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: yes"}
